Bill to Fix Royalties
for Broadcasting Music
Senator C. C. Dill, of Washington, Offers Meas-
ure to Govern Use of Copyright Music Over
the Radio
D. C, January 12.—A bill to en-
able radio broadcasters to reproduce copyright-
ed music by paying reasonable royalties to the
copyright owners and providing that while the
latter may refuse permission for the broadcast-
ing of their music, where such permission is
given one station all broadcasting stations may
use the productions, has been introduced in
Congress by Senator C. C. Dill, of Washington.
"The composer or publisher may authorize
any station or stations to use his production
free of charge, or he may fix a royalty less than
the maximum fixed by law, but if no such agree-
ment is made then the broadcaster may use
the music by paying the maximum royalty,"
Senator Dill stated, in explaining his proposals.
"I purposely left the amount of the royalty
blank, in order that it might be recommended by
the Patents Committee of the Senate and finally
determined by Congress after full hearings and
careful consideration.
"This bill fully protects the music producer.
Each broadcaster must keep a written record of
all programs open for inspection. On request,
he must furnish monthly statements, under oath,
to the copyright holder. He must also notify
the owner of the copyrighted music by regis-
tered mail. Any attempt to defraud the com-
poser or publisher will be punished by the
courts, and the court may require the filing of a
bond to compel payment of the fees mentioned.
"The enactment of this legislation will bring
order out of chaos, so far as the use of copy-
righted music by radio is concerned. The
broadcaster will know exactly what his music
will cost him. The copyright holder will have
a definite, fixed royalty for each broadcasting
of his work. All broadcasting stations can fur-
nish any copyrighted music to all radio listeners
as soon as it is available to any broadcaster,
and the copyright owner can notify all broad-
casters that any piece of music is not available
to radio broadcasting by filing a notice with the
Copyright Office. It simply applies the prin-
ciples enacted in the copyright law of 1909 for
fixed royalties for phonograph records of copy-
righted music to radio broadcasting of such
music. It is fair to broadcasters, just to the
composers and in the interest of radio listeners."

New Numbers Added to
Chappell-Harms Catalog
"A Night of Love," One of the Features of an
Interesting List of New Publications—Several
Heard on Concert Stage
Among the new numbers recently added to
the catalog of Chappell-Harms, Inc., is a pop-
ular selection called "A Night of Love," which
in early try-outs has developed into a song of
importance.
The writers of "A Night of Love" have been
most successful for several years in producing
popular songs. They are Bud G. DeSylva and
Larry Spier, who are last remembered as the
writers of "Memory Lane."
For its more standard catalog Chappell-
Harms, Inc., have added "Advice," words by
Royden Barrie and music by Molly Carew; "Do
You Believe in Fairies," words by Greatrex
Newman and music by Wolseley Charles; "If
Any Little Song of Mine," the words from "The
Treasury of Consolation," and music by Teresa
Delriego. There is also a song called "The Way
to Your Heart," the words and music of which
are by Eugene Lockhart, and a new Dorothy
Forster. song, called "The Scent Still Clings to
the Roses." Charles Gordon contributes the
words and music of "For Thee," and "The Great
Adventure" is by Edward Lockton and Percy
E. Fletcher. Dena Tempest has written the
words for "The Rose and the Musk" and "If
All the World," the music being by Roger Jalo-
wizc and H. Lyall Phillips.
All these numbers are being presented to
the trade and some of them will shortly be
introduced on the concert stage. The Chappell-
Harms popular number, "A Night of Love," will
be featured on a national scale through orches-
tras and popular singers.

Interest in Selection Still Continues as Is Evi-
denced by Steady Volume of Sales—Used by
Many Artists
"Parade of the Wooden Soldiers," an E. B.
Marks Music Co. publication, has certainly estab-
lished itself as an important standard number.
Its popularity does not seem to wane and its
sales, while not as large as some seasons back,
are continuous and in fairly substantial quan-
tities.
An example of the continued interest this
number holds for the profession as well as the
public was recently given at the Palace Theatre,
New York, when "Parade of the Wooden Sol-
diers" appeared three times at every perform-
ance during a week's billing.
Jim Barton, the headliner, used "Parade of the
Wooden Soldiers" in his toy soldier dance as
orginally introduced in the musical show "Dew
Drop In." M. Emil Boreo, who was the drum-
mer in the original "Chauve Souris" show, used
"Parade of the Wooden Soldiers" in the same
bill in a novel march, and for the third time
Galetti and Kokin presenting "Umtala," the only
dancing monkey in vaudeville, used "Parade of
the Wooden Soldiers" during the feature mo-
ments of that offering.
