STRAUSS TO ROLL IN WEALTH
Expects "SaIOme" and electra" to
Pay Him SI2O,OOO.

From Berlin letter 10 the New York World.
DIR. Richard Strauss. the composer OF
Electra, probably viii become the rich
est man In his profession who ever lived
Every note he writes is well paid for and
the copyright carefully guarded. His
leading works. "Feuersnot." the "Sin-fo-
mia DOmestica, 'Saiomc," and "Elec-
ira are sources OF large income.
For ~Salome" he gets a substantial
royalty on every performance. In the
first years of "SalOme's" struggle for a
place on the stage Strauss got only about
$500 a year from II. Now that II forms
a regular feature on nearly every operate
stage OF Importance the royalties from Il
alone amount to nearly $4,000 year, and
this income IS certain to increase.
From Electra" the composers income
probably will be greater still. He sold the
score Of "Salome" for Sl2.5O0. but he got
for the copyright Of the Electra" score
S2L500. and is TO have a royalty Of 70
cents on every copy sold. Electra has
been snapped up by every big stage on
the continent Of Europe. and II is estimated
that his royalties on that opera will
amount in three years to not Tess than
10000 per annum.
oscar Hammerstein, Of New York. has
paid 5000 as a preliminary guarantee for
thirty performances, and pledges SIS. $50
in royalties for those three performances.
Equally secure are Strauss sources OF
income from his songs. not one Of which
is sold without the composer receiving
his share. Then there is the maestro's =
work as general music director In the
Royal Opera House in Berlin. for which
he receives $500 for three months.
Strauss goes good deal on concert tours
and nets a very fair income from that
source Last autumn he was In Weis-
baden and gave a week OF his own works.
for which he was paid 81 30
From all sources. Strauss income now
probably Is $4,000. and he hopes in five
years 10 double that figure He lives in

diamond, but is greatly respected and ad-
mired by all who are admitted 10 close

original plays. while he has adapted. for

Belasco this week.
7 don't believe in taking a French or
German play and merely cleaning IT, "
said Mr.. Fitch recently. THE cleaning
process is deadly in its effect. II has

Play Piracy Damned

In the news dispatches published last
week on the passage by Congress OF the
new copyright bill little was said OF the
measure beyond the fact that Il protects
the music composer from piracy and en-
abIes him to collect royalties for repro
ductions OF his work by any OF the me-
chanicaI devices in vogue.
That the bin has an equal Importance
as protective measure 20 dramatists and
other owners OF dramatic property seems
70 have been ignored. says the Dramatic
Mirror. Il makes certain the protection
OF play property against the various
forms OF piracy that so long have -four
ished.
By It's terms the new law not only pro-
yides FOR the punishment as for a misde-
meanor OF any person or persons who
use PLAYS OF other dramatic works with
out the authority Of their owners. out Il
az last reaches the dealer" IN unauthor-
ICED copies. who so long has hourished
and encouraged piracy.
With punishment provided for this par
asite. dramatists and managers will no
longer experience any serious difficulty in
putting an end 10 the thefts OF plays that
so long have embarrassed authors and
owners OF such property.
The Mirror for many years has further
ed the fight which the American Drama
lists Club and others interested have
waged for this result The contention has
long met opposition from the. dishonest
interests involved and from lukewarm
or ignorant legislators who have been
unable 10 appreciate the fact that play
property as surely deserves protection
from theft as more tangible belongings.
But victory at last is won, and the days
OF such piTacies are numbered.

A Deserved Survival.

The continued success of THE Roger
Brothers in Panama" is another argu-
ment against the all-pervading modern
star system idea, TO those who are will
ing TO recognize a valid argument when
they see IT: which. in this case. is the
seemingly healthy survival Of the vebi-
Gle as an entertaining proposition after
the separation from it Of one Of the
principals who, in conjunction with his
brother, was considered to be the whole
show" that is. according to the wav in
which the advertisements and press stuff
were framed up. the two brothers becom-
ing singular. If such a thing could be.
for the the purpose Of carrying out the
star idea. II was THE Rogers Brothers
in Panama. and now. according to the
same style. It should be The Rogers
Brother and Some One Else in Panama. %
which would. OF course. reduce the thing
10 an absUrdity.
The truth OF the matter is. it was the
material used. and not the star. which
insured success from the first. The pro-
ducers. or some one else. hit on a pleas
ing combination Of girls, jokes. horse
play, and music, which struck the popu-
lar fancy as a means Of diversion. and
II would have been quite as satisfactory

Love Watches. -

Love Watches the comedy adapted
from the French which is being used by
Miss Billie Burke. is not remarkable as
regards either originality, wit Of line. or
brightness Of satire. but is full of situa-
tions which can be made passably anus
ing by an ordinary performer. or made
acUtely humorous by the efforts OF a
clever one. The latter is the case in the
present instance Miss Burke IS just the
person to extract all Of the comedy es-
sence from the thing, and 10 lend a
seemingly brilliant aspect to what is re-
ally commonplace. II is hard 10 resist
the spontaneous character of humOr which
she dispenses; as hard, in fact, as TO re-
sst the influence Of her lively personal
ity. She is full Of liveiiness and enters
into the spirit of the thing entirely, and
is so able to get a great deal out OF IT,
She IS greatly assisted on the other hand
by Mr.. Lawford. who not only provokes a
share Of comedy by his portrayal OF the
eccentric scholar. but also acts as a
fol for Miss Burke On the one side.
she is all color. vlvacity and action: on
the other, he is somber, quiet, and IN
active. The contrast is vivid, and adds
greatly to the general effect. as well as
accruing 10 the credit Of each Of them.
In relation to the criticism that the cru
cial point Of the play Is a doubtful incl
dent 1t Is weH 10 remember that we
must EXPECT such a thing in a French
farce; I'm fact the features OF q great
many English plays might be construed
as improper. If we care to see il In that
way. A great deal depends upon the way
in which the matter is treated. and in
this instance there was certainly nothing
10 offend particularly.
