Bernstein Firms Split Over Dispute in New York
In New York a publishing firm of Bernstein Shhpiro and Von Tilzer separated after a quarrel. Albert Von Tilzer, once a clerk there, blamed for the trouble, while Harry Von Tilzer is said to pursue a solo music career in New York. Julie Marlowe plans a modern play and possibly Electra by Perez Galvez, provoking controversy due to anti clerical themes. The piece notes orchestra members, impressionistic stockings and humor from Josephine Sabel, and mentions plans to dramatize Audrey with Viola Allen, while Charles Frohman’s handling of To Have and To Hold is recounted as overhyped and quickly fading.
