Corp. to Look After Trade in That City
The A. J. Stasny Music Co. recently opened
offices in the Randolph Building, Chicago, 111.,
under the management of J. R. Fields, who has
for some time past acted as Western represen-
tative for the company. The Chicago business
of Stasny Co. has been very heavy during the
year, and the above action was taken in order
to handle properly the ever growing demand for
Stasny publications in that territory. The new
offices are in the heart of the district known
as "Publisher's Row" and will enable Mr.
Fields to cater to the professional trade as well
as efficiently handle dealers' business.
"J
Found You Among the Roses" and "Storyland"
are reported as doing especially well in the
Windy City.
James Troup, general manager of the Wm.
Jerome Publishing Cor])., will leave Monday for
Boston, Mass., to call upon the sheet music
dealers of that city.
"Betty," Chas. Dillingham's musical comedy,
in which Raymond Ritchcock has been scoring
quite a success, leaves the Globe Theatre for a
week's stay in Boston, commencing Monday,
November 27. "Sometime," which Mr. Hitch-
cock has featured during the play's New York
stay, is expected to continue to be one of the
song hits of the show. "Sometime" is pub-
lished by tin 1 Wm. Jerome Publishing Corp.
