STRONG CENTURY CO. CAMPAIGN.
Dealers Quick to Co-operate Locally in Making
National Advertising of Century Edition
Effective—Getting Excellent Results.
The co-operative advertising campaign being
carried on by the Century Music Publishing Co.,
in which the dealers throughout the country are
supplementing, in their local papers, the national
advertising in prominent magazines being done by
the company, has produced excellent results.
The electrotypes prepared by the company con-
stitute excellent advertising matter, snappy and
original, and set forth both the low price and other
desirable features of Century Edition in a manner
that commands attention. The dealers have been
quick to appreciate the value of the electros in car-
rying on a local advertising campaign and as a
result the stock of cuts has been depleted fre-
quently. The sales of Century Edition have in-
creased steadily and reflect the effect of the
advertising.

THAT the early crop of musical comedies ap-
pears to be of a more lasting quality than has been
the case at the opening of some previous seasons.
THAT such a condition should give the publish-
ers of the scores a chance to get their money back
at least.
THAT, although there are always plenty of com-
posers willing to take the responsibility for a hit
and, in fact, upon it, but when the song is a flivver,
the silence is deep and heavy.
THAT a Polish publisher seeks the right to trans-
late Chas. K. Harris' "After the Ball" into Polish,
which fact should set some recent baseless charges
to rest.

THE MOST SUNG SONGS

and
THAT "Always in the Way" and "Break the
News to Mother" will be the next Harris ballads
to be used for motion picture scenarios, following
the great success of the "After the Ball"' pictures.
THAT Joe Goodwin is piling up a reputation as
one of our busiest little shifters. A new pub-
lisher each season or less.
THAT if Al Jolson really sung all the songs
that the publishers credit to his repertoire he
would have to use his voice about thirty hours a
day, and then have a lot of songs left over.
THAT from the standpoint of the dealer who
has to sell the song the question is not who sings
the songs, but how many sing them.
THAT Percy Wenrich is now practically re-
covered from his recent illness, and with the suc-
cess of his latest song, "When You Wore a Tulip
and I Wore a Big Red Rose," as an excellent tonic
to hasten convalescence.
THAT "peace" songs have become quite the rage
of recent date, probably because it is hard to write
war sorgs and still remain neutral.
"THE ONLY GIRL^IN NEW YORK.
New Version of "Our Wives," with Libretto
and Lyrics by Henry Blossom and Book by
Victor Herbert, Proves Distinct Success.
"The Only Girl," a new musical and much im-
proved version of Frank Mandel's comedy, "Our
Wives," which had a successful premiere at At-
lantic City a month ago, was presented in New
York at the Thirty-ninth Street Theater on Mon-
day evening under the direction of Lew Fields.
The new book, by Henry Blossom, is full of light,
pleasing and clean comedy, that proves quite a
relief after some of the productions that have
been offered recently. The lyrics, also by Blos-
som, are excellent, and the music, by Victor Her-
bert, displays that popular composer at his best.
The play, termed a "musical farcical comedy," is
admirably presented by a capable company headed
by Thurston Hall, and who is supported in the
leading role by Richard Bartlett. Jed Prouty and
Ernest Torrence.
One of the best of Mr. Herbert's numbers is
"When You're Away," while other prominent
songs in the score include "Personality," "You're
the Only Girl for Me," "Here's to the Land We
Love," "Be Happy Boys To-night," "Here's How,"
"Connubial Bliss" and "Antionette." M. Witmark
& Sons are the publishers.
