The publhihing house of Francis Salabert has almost * monopoly of the popular music business in France and Belgium, as, in addition to controlling the compositions of Yvain and Christine and other pop- ular French cemposers, it represents many American publishers. A very important factor in France Is the revenue derived from the perform- ing fees. It is diflncult for compos- ers not domiciled In France to 'be- come members of the Societe de Auteurs, Compositeurs et Editeurs, fees as a rule are only paid on the native complsitlons. The attitude of the French publishers at present is that they now have so much of their own that they can afford to do without American- or English song hits. It is realized, also, that hav- ing created a suclcess at home in a popular number t^py are in a posi- tion to obtain big sums on the sale of the foreign rights. The usual Influx of visitors during the sum- mer may, perhaps, help to plant some American hit, but just at present there is nothing in sight. A peculiar feature^ of the music situation in France is the number of one-man businesses establi.shed just to publish the works of the com- poser-proprietor. These are kept going by the performing fees re- ceived and are usually run by some orchestra leader for the benefit of his own compositions. He gen- erally combines the dual role of a publisher In the day time and or- chestra leader at night; living in the hope some day he will get that big natural success that will enable him to become a regular publisher, or perhaps to retire. The possi- bility of getting performing fees is also responsible for these little pub- lishers. Every leader has the am- bition—but not always the talent— to become a composer. The diffi- culty is that In order to become a member of the Societe it is neces- sary to have a certain number of compositions with systematic reg- ularity. Between the performing fees and the limited sale of copies, augmented by his income as an or- chestra leader, he manages to keep going, but whilst playing his own compositions and getting brother leaders to do likewise for him, he is not going to give outsiders much of a show. NEWS OF M DAILIES Brock Pemberton has announced a list of American and foreign plays for production next season. Those by American authors, two comedies, are "In Freedom's Name," by Thom- as Beer and John Peter Toohey, and "Julia Counts Three," by Knowles Entrikin, and the following: Lord Dunsany's drama "If"; Lulgi Piran- dello's "Six Characters in Search of an Author": "Quello Che Non T'As- petti," by Lulgi Barzini and Arnaldo Fraccaroll, and the French play, "Pour Avoir Adrienne," by Louis Verneull, son-in-law of Sarah Bern- hardt. Malvlna Reichman, former picture actress, pleaded not guilty to an in- dictment charging grand larceny in the first degree In General tSessIons. When the plea was entered her counsel asked to inspect the min- utes of the grand jury, saying that he would later moVe for a dismissal of the Indlctnent. Miss Reichman was arrested on the charge M Angus K. Nicholson, a broker, who charged that she held him a prisoner in her home on Riverside drive for three days and robbed him of |300 and jewelry. The decision was reserved on the motion to inspect the min- utes. will be married in Hollywood, Cal on August 1. Miss Miller will leave Boston on July 15, the night "Sally** closes, coming to New York to select her trousseau, and then to Los An. geles. At a meeting last week the Fed- eration of Theatre and Clnem* Unions of France in Paris voted unanimously to close all theatres In France by Feb. 16, next, unless the heavy government tax J9 lightened before that date. Mrs. Esther Moran is suing her husband, Lee Moran, picture come* dian, for a divorce, charging cruel* ty. She claims that he has been intoxicated for the last four years. She alleges that Moran draws 12,25^ a week. .Anna Duane, 19, who lived at the Longacre Hotel, New York, and took bichloride of mercury tablets In the Pennsylvania Station last 'week, died July 8 In Bellevue Hospital. She was in a vaudeville sketch and when it closed was left penniless. She left a letter addressed to her motjjer, Mrs. Anna Duane, of 1608 Willow street, San Francisco.' Her aunt, Mrs. H. Dorsey, of Pittsburgh, was with her when she died. The paying teller of the Fifth avenue branch of the Metropolitan bank, who is charged with grand larceny for stealing $2,000 on Peggy • Joyce's account of $14,000 while she was in Europe, pleaded not guilty to the charge In General Sessions. Marie Tempest will open in a new play, "A Serpent's Tooth," produced by John Golden.

The popular music business in France Is on the same level as It is In America and England, and that is decidedly flat, with little hope for a revival before the fall. Whilst two years, or even 12 months, ago most of the popular numbers played In France were the American successes, there seems to have been a decided swing in favor or native composi- tions. The biggest success over there at present Is "J'en al Marre" by Maurice Yvain—who was re- sponsible for "Mon Homme." Yvain is also the composer of the music of "Ta Bouche," the "successful musi- cal comedy #iow playing at the Theatre Daun^on. Another composer who has two recent big musical sur(e.*:ses to his credit, in "Phi Phi" ^a 'P,* De," is H.,Christine. This Although practically every im- portant music publisher in the busi- ness has appeared before the Dis- trict Attorney to answer charges by the J. O. McCrory chain store syn- dicate, no further action has been taken thus far. The McCrory peo- ple filed a complaint with the local D. A. alleging the pviblishers were discriminating againstlhem in their sheet music business dealings as a result of which every publisher was summoned at one time or another to answer the charges. McCrory'3 grievance Is that they are not permitted to sell sheet>nusic at 20 cents retail. When they sent In orders to the publishers advis- ing them that a wholesale price was requested to enable them to retail at the specified price the publishers disregarded the orders. The matter Is understood to be m the hands of the McCrory attorneys, although an executive of the cor- poration would divulge nothing else beyond that. The 'D. A. summons is a legal forerunner to federal Investigation proceedings on the Sherman anti- trust law charges, but the fact that the D. A. has not reported anything to the federal authorities up to now evinces the belief that is the end of it. The McCrory people are un- derstood to be serious about the matter. Although not every one of their 40 or so stores carries a sheet music counter, the department is an important one. Particularly in At- lantic City and Philadelphia have they been'known to sell consider- able music. However, they main- tain that the 12^ cents "new issue" price and the 15 cents wholesale figure does not permit for much profit. It was rumored last week affidavits were being gathered along Broadway's "tin pan alley" in a federal investigation proceeding about the music publishing business but that is unconfirmed. It Is wholly a matter of Individual pub- lishers. Practically every ojae of any importance is concerned. . Marilynn Miller is being sued by Alex Shehade of New York for $188 alleged due him as balance on pur- chases made from him in May. Florenz Ziegfeld, Jr., and S. M. Har- rison, producer and stage manager of "Sally," are named as co- defendants as her trustees. Her counsel denied the allegations and eliminates Ziegfeld and Harrison, saying that they had no funds be- longing to her when the writ was served. Mrs. Henry B. Harris announced that she will resume producing next month, when "Lights Out," a comedy-melodrama by Paul Dickey and Mann Page, opens out of town. The show will open at the Vander- bllt theatre. New York, on Aug. 14. She will start rehearsals on a melo- drama, "It Is the Law," by Elmer Rice and Hayden Talbot, followmg the opening of "Lights Out." Maurice Mouvet, better known as Maurice, the dancer, and late with Leonora Hughes, Is suffering from lung trouble in Deauville, France. Maurice, while in a casino Sunday night, becam^ faint, and asked to be excused from the table, and upon reaching the lobby he fell uncon- scious with a hemorrhage of the lung. Since then he has had four more. Professor Joseph All, for 20 years the orchestra leader of Hurtig & SeamoM's, on West 125th street, left an estate of $5,301.48 when he died, intestate, August 16, 1919, it Is dis- closed In the. Surrogate's Court through an order exempting the property from Inheritance taxation. Because of his failure to leave a will, his widow, Mary E. Ali, of 1790 Broadway, receives $4,410.74, and his brother and sister, George D. Ali of 26 Broad street, and Irene Hatch, the latter of 90 Downing street, Brooklyn, each $445.37. The decedent's widow Is the administra- trix. Professor Ali, who died a vic- tim of pneumonia and was laid to rest at the Evergreen cemetery, was a native of Brooklyn and a member of a family long distinguished for musical ability. His father. Joseph Ali. was a veteran of the Civil war and long at the head of a famous military band In Brooklyn. As a boy, Joseph Ali was widc^ly known ns a boy prodigy and his playing of the violin was the subject of frt- (Continued on page 35) George Rlumenthal, former man- ager for the late 0.scar Hammer- stein, recently returned from Ger- many, where he arranged for the appearances here of the German Grand Opera Company from Berlin, presenting a Wagiierlan repertoire.

I., June 11, and who was supposed to be penniless, left over $16,000 in money and jewelry in a safe deposit box at the Corn Exchange Bank. This was learned when the safe deposit box she owned was opened the early part of this week. Pauline Lord, named as co- respondent In the divorce suit of Mrs. Ruth Harris against Mitchell Harris, has filed an answer in the Supreme Court denying the charges made by Mrs. Harris and demanding a trial by jury of her actions. Mrs. Harris is also suing Miss Lord for $50,000, alleging alienation of her husband's affection.
