Ascap Composers Protective Organization Battles

works, as such, will be paying for
the first time.
In opposition to Ascap. the radio
chains organized Broadcast Music,
Inc, few months ago and started
q drive to round up new song
writer's who were not members OF
Ascap. So far, B. M. I. has signed
about 100 new writer's who have had
published about 80 new songs. In
contrast. Ascap has on its rolls
about l 200 composers-authors In
this country, as well as about 10000
afiliated music writer's in foreign
countries.
Not Organized for Profit.
Ascap song writer's are paid on a
formula based on how many songs
a composer or lyric writer has had
published and how often their songs
are publicly played.
B. M. I. song writer's are paid in
dividually on a scale that varies,
but is based on a minimum OF cent
a performance per station.
Stock in B. M. I. is owned by in
dividual radio stations, with the
major networks owning 20 per cent
of the whole.
Ascap is not a private enterprise
organized for profit, but a mutual
association of composers and pub
fishers to see that these two groups
are paid their royalties for use Of
their songs and to assure the pro-
lection of their copyrights. The
income of the association itself is
Just that needed for administrative
purposes in its 81 district ofiices and
to pay the expenses of aid it gives
to song writer's or their descendants.
Although the contract over which
Ascap and the radio chains are

newal until January !, informed
opinion on both sides is that def
mite decision one way or the other
will be made in the next six or eight

HOLLYWOOD.
Youngsters hoping to ready them
selves for screen career have been
heard to ask directors and drama
coaches for expert tips on how to
prepare themselves.
The replies invariably are vague.
Study long and hard with the
best available tutors" is the routine
reply Of one famous Hollywood di-
rector. Develop personality, indi-
viduality. Equip yourself with de-
termination and self-confidence.
When you feel ready, get yourself
on display in a stock or little thea
ter group"
Many leading film performers
have successfully followed the spirit
of that advice, but there are many
others. equally successful. who
haven't. These are the accidents"
Of movietown.
The candidate seeking advice
from one of the latter group might
be startled to get some such tip as
this:
Never mind that preliminary
training stun. Just 60 find your
self an accident. Or q lucky break.
Or play q hunch."
There are more accidental and
lucky break and hunch successes
grasping the top rung of that movie
ladder than you'd imagine. No ar
duous training periods for them.
No months Of repertoire on obscure
stock stages. No agonizing waiting
for the mythical Hollywood talent

Miss Arthur is among the most
generous donors to good causes in
Hollywood, but if you mention any,

Gently she was asked to appear pub
licly in connection with one of the

About a year and a half ago Jean

60 of them. But when the time came
for the presentation, she couldn't

she told him.
Her super-sensitivity is credited
to two causes-one being the beat
ing Hollywood gave her at the start
of her career-in 1928. She wanted
to act. but all she was allowed to do
was slapstick. so she returned to
the stage. Her next try at serious
picture acting resulted in cheap
westerns. Again she went back to
the stage. Later she returned to
pictures. Her first good picture was

lowed by-among others-"The Ex-
Mrs. Bradford" Adventure in Man
haitian" History is Made at Night"
and You Can't Take 1t With You"
But the impression of her early
kicking around in Hollywood has
never been eradicated from Jeans
mind. And I don't think it ever
will. 1t has made her suspicious
and cautious.

moody shyness is bad health. She

the fact that she had arrived late

says, almost always runs fast. Thus

Nor did Enrol Flynn play stock or
work long hours under a voice
teacher. Mr.. Flynn became a movie
star quite by accident-and be-
cause his practical mind told him it
was an easy way to turn an honest
dollar. He'd been living the life of
a hobo around British Guinea, with
4 trap boat of his own. A movie
company turned up, and Flynn was
hired to take the troupe up the
Sepik River into the country of
savage head-hunters. During the
trip he was asked to do some div.
ing and swimming for the camera.
Months passed and then Flynn re-
ceived a wire from Australia Offer
ing him a movie job. His swimming
pictures made along the Sepik had
been seen and liked by Melbourne

American Society of Composers, Au-
thors and Publishers was born. Now
it controls and administers the use
of practically all popular music
written by both American and for
eign composers.
Today the society is embroiled in
a far-reaching fight with the major
networks that may bar all the music
of Herbert, Irving Berlin. Deems
Taylor, George M. Cohan. Jerome
Kern. Cole Porter, w. c. Handy,
Oscar Levant and scores of other
notable writers from the radio
chains.
In such an event the Ascap songs
will still be played over independent
stations and chains. The Texas
State network, of which Elliott
Roosevelt is president, and the War.
ner Bros. Pictures stations have al
ready renewed contracts to continue
using for the next five years music
controlled by Ascap. Other inde-
pendent chains are now negotiating
to renew contracts.
Would Tax Chains.
The technical outline of the fight
is. in brief, the following:
On next January l, the national
network chains, such as N. B. C. and
C. B. S., are scheduled to sign a new
contract with Ascap for the use of
its music. Under the present con-
tract the royalties for use of music
are paid by individual radio sta
tions whether they are on a chain
or not. Under the new contract,
Ascap will reduce fees to about $50
individual stations. but will charge
the chains 71a per cent of their
gross income for unrestricted use of
Ascap music.
Under the existing contract. Ascap
composers were paid $4,142,000 by
radio stations in 1899, and under the
new contract that figure would be
approximately doubled, but, Ascap
executives assert, that rise will be
equalized by lowering the fees Of
