Are the Composers Tired?

A writer in one of the New York
dsiIies on the subject of the revival
Of Robin Hood" at the Park Thea
ter takes a slap at American light
opera and musical comedy compos-
ers and states that this year they
have all run cut of melodies entire
ly.
This year. so the article reads,
the composers seem to have struck
a snag. Jerome Kern. indefatiga-
BILE since his They Wouldn't Be
lieve Ne" days seemed to have
drained his well OF melody dry
nearly a year ago.
Louis Hirsh. who wrote a dOzan
hits between Hello, Frisco" and
Tickle Toe" tried his hand at "Oh,
Ny Dear!" But. like all the others.
1t is just fair TO middlin'.
Rudolph Friml. who showed in his
"Firefy" ard "Katinka" that he
comes very near to being a true
musician as well as a popular com
poser. wasn't able to write sue
ccssful song for either "GlCrlanna'
or Some Time"
Ivan Caryll. who usually writes one
fine score a year like The Pink Lady
or "SybH." couldn't find a single mel
ody that would haunt you for more
than Iwenty-four hours for either
The Girl Behind the Gun" or The
Canary"
Listen. Lester" seems to be the
most popular musical show just now,
Nut its music is trite. and ii succeeds
mostly because the whole pace is 80
lively that for the moment We forget
the 'Maytmc" and Going Up. Of
last year.
Victor Herbert's first music 81 the
season comes to the New Amsterdam
this week in The Velvet Lady" and
at the same time De Eoven's Robin
Hood" will bring his hand to The Park.
The two will offer q fair comparison
OF the comic operas Of yesterday and
today. Robin Hood" belongs with
the Gilbert and Sullivan group. for it
was brought out by the old Boston
ians just after "Pinafore" had sailed
triumphautIy back and forth across
the country for nearly ten years
II Victor Herbert can't bring some
thing noteworthy to the music Of the
year then its safe TO say that no
body can. He is really the last hope
for the composers Of today. The Park
Company feels sure that its Robin
Hood" revival will succeed that il Is
temporarily taking on the rest OF the
repertoire to give the De Koven oTera
an uninterrupted run.

HIS ADVENTURES ARE
HIS OWN SCENARIOS

The problem OF getting scenarios
was solved last week by the Fox
Film Corporation in a new way.
In the matter of scenarios, Tom
Mix, the whirlwind Western star. is
by way of being both supply and
demand. AS a star whose popular
ity is growing, he demands good
stories to enact. As a soldier of
fortune, who has had innumerable
adventures from Cape Nome to
Nicaragua. he has lived more real
stories than some stars put on the
screen in their whole career.

Visitors 20 to the State Historical
Museum at Madison may now see the
peace pipe made of red pipestone which
was once the personal possession of the
famous Sioux chieftain, Sitting Bull.
For many years Sitting Bull was one
of the leaders of his race in its warfare
against the United States. After the
Custer massacre in 1876 and the subse-
quent overthrow of the red men by our
army, many of the .hostiles, Sitting
Bull among them, sought refuge in
Canada. There in May, 1881, the noted
warriors pipe was traded to white
man for 100 pounds of -four and 5
pounds of tea. The purchaser present
ed the pipe to his lifelong friend, Rob-
ert B. Lang, who has been for many
years a resident of Racine, and Mr..
Lang has now given it. along with nu-
mer0us other interesting Indian OBJ
jects, to the Ssate Historical Society,"
The signature or seal of Sitting Bull, q
crude drawing of bull in a rampant
attitude, is attached to certificate re-
citing the purchase of the pipe.

Judge A. C. Backus of Milwaukee
at meeting of the Madison Civics club
last Saturday delivered an address in
which he suggests drastic reforms in
the methods of conducting the peniten-
tiaries of the country. He claims that
under the present system the influence
is never reformatory upon the criminal.
It leaves him unchanged in his attitude
toward society, and society is unchang-
ed toward him, even after he has
served his sentence. He suggests large
open air areas where the prisoners can
be kept at work in the field, and where
his health could be built up and his
habits changed.

Real Estate Mem Must Have Licenses

Because the real estate business so
closely affects the development and the
welfare of its residents, the people of
Wisconsin have declared that real es-
tate brokers and statesmen shall obtain
licenses and be regulated in their trans
actions with the public through the
Real Estate Brokers Board created by
action Of the legislature.
Consequently, as provided by law,>all
real estate brokers and all real estate
statesmen are required to furnish the
board with credentials establishing
trustworthiness and competency. After
January 1st, 1920, no real estate broker
or real estate salesman can do business
in Wisconsin without license.
Application blanks may be obtained
by addressing the Real Estate Brokers
Board at Madison. Separate licenses
are required for brokers and statesmen.
The fee for a brokers' license is $40 90
and the fee for a salesman's license is
$500. The work of this board is sup
ported by fees and not by taxation.

WHAT is Premier Clemenceau doing

ed that he is not there for his health.
1t rather looks as if England and

way against sGerEnanic danger which
simply will not stay put in the consci-
BUSINESS of these pBwers, and against
the bolshevik infection which is q con-

Ancient Battle Standards.

1t is probable that the first flag was
carried by the Saracens in their bat
ties with the Crusaders, the latter
adopting the idea. which thus spread
over Europe. Long before that there
had been national standards, however,
as the ancient Egyptians carried be
fore their hosts the figure Of a sacred
animal on a spear. A stuffed cat i'm
paled on a stick was the forerunner of
the banners now used. In the days of
the old Persian empire a blacksmith's
apron was carried aloft at the head
of the army, while the standard Of
the Turks was a horses tail
