ters upon his hundredth year Ac-
cording to the list complied by the
editor of "Webster's Red Book" Sir

owns four, the rest being in the fam
Gus collection of the Gardc Meuble, in

The opinion given by Judge Low
ell, in Boston, forbidding the produc-
ton of Gounod's "Redcmption," with
bogus orchestral Instrumentation,
will have an important effect upon
the show business if it is sustained.
The full orchestral score never having
been published, the Boston manager
had one arranged from the piano score
and marginal notes. The Judge, in
granting the injunction, said that the
''Redemption' was creation Of which
the orchestration was an essential part,
and any imitation of the latter must
necessairially DO imperfect and dam |
aging. The bearing of this rule upon
Gilbert and Sulivan's comic operas
will be important. The sale OF the
words and music Of their pieces has
been SO great in this country that.
rather than forego the profit from thi.,
source, they have abandoned all at
tempts to prevent unauthorized rep
reservations on the stage; but their
publications have simply given the
music arranged for the piano, and pi-
racies have involved the making of
new orchestra, scores. Under Judge
Iowell's view OF the law, however,
Gilbert aud Sullivan would be pro.
tected both in publishing their music
and defending it against unlicensed
stage use.
