REVIEW
STASNY SONG BEING FEATURED IN WINDOW DISPLAYS
"I Found You Among the Roses," one of the
best selling numbers in the catalog of the A. J.
Stasny Music Co., seems to gain in popularity
from week to week. One of the features of
its continued success is the readiness on the
part of music dealers to give window displays of
the song. During the fall season in one week
had one of the prettiest window exhibits of the
song during that week.
The continued success of the song and the
publicity it receives is no doubt partly due to
its title and to its very artistic title page, both
of which do much to attract attention.
As arrangements are now being made by the
THE HARD STRUGGLE OF ART
Western Lady Cites Troubles in Learning to
Play the Piano, in Letter to Leo Feist, Inc.
That art is not confined to any one section or
condition and, in fact, is ready and willing to
struggle is indicated by a letter recently received
by Leo Feist, Inc., from a lady to whom the
company had sent four folios. The letter was
addressed: " Feist Building, New York," and, of
course, got there safely. The lady wrote as
follows:
"dear Sir: I recevied the package all ok the
25 of november thank you so very mutch for
your kindness and your good advice I would a
written soomer but I never got the package until
the 25 of nov. I am going to recommend your
books to my friends when I have the oppor-
tunity you say the top nots for the right hand
and the lower for the left hand Shall I play the
left hand under the right hand I can make the
nots in the proper place But I cant mak the
cords to sound right my piano is old fashion flat
top I am just trying to learn on it do you think
I can learn on it. I am your friend Mrs.
I wish you a Merry Xmas good bye."
NEW BALLAD B\^PERCY WENRICH
Percy Wenrich has written a new ballad called
"Silver Bay," which during the past two weeks,
has been featured by Dolly Connolly and Mr.
Wenrich on their tour of the Orpheum circuit
with great success. The number possesses a
very charming melody, which led the New York
American to feature it in their issue of January
3 with a review of the song and an artistic
sketch of Miss Connolly and Mr. Wenrich.
NEW SONG PROVING POPULAR
Otto Motzan's latest composition, "A Tear, a
Kiss, a Smile," has been receiving much atten-
tion since its release by the Karczag Publish-
ing Co. The new professional studios ar-
ranged on the seventh floor at 62 West Forty-
fifth street have been very popular since the
opening, showing that artists are already giving
the number more than passing notice.
STERN BUYS "SHOOT THE RABBIT"
Jos. W. Stern & Co. have purchased from the
F. R. Haviland Co. a new song, "Shoot the Rab-
bit," by Jim Burris and Chris Smith, the writers
of "Ballin' the Jack." The song is announced as
one that has a greater appeal than the older
song possessed, and if that be true its success
is already assured, as the dance season is now
on, and catchy numbers are in demand.
TWO NEW STASNY NUMBERS
Two of Roy E. Nolte's works are to be re-
leased early this year by the A. J. Stasny Music
Co., "Innocence," a meditation, and "Maybelle,"
a waltz. Mr. Nolte has been unusually success-
ful as a writer of instrumental numbers and his
two latest works are said to be of exceptional
merit. As usual the title pages are works of
art.
ONE OF SEASON^BEST BALLADS
Recent Window Display of "I Found You Among the Roses," Given at Woolworth Store in
Philadelphia
no less than eight windows in the city of Phila- branches of the A. J. Stasny Music Co. in other
delphia alone gave their windows over to the cities to have windows given over to featuring
display of "I Found You Among the Roses." the song during the next two months, and as
Herewith is reproduced a photo of the window the company itself is doing much to encourage
of the F. W. Woolworth Co. at 1020 Market such displays, there will no doubt be a continued
street, Philadelphia, who, through the efforts of demand for "I Found You Among the Roses"
Will Freeze, assistant manager of the store, for sometime to come.
"HONOLULU BAY" ON VICTOR RECORD
H. H. GORDON VISITS PHILADELPHIA
Ted Barron announces his song, "On Hono-
lulu Bay," is just coming into its own. The
latest recognition will be its appearance on the
Victor Talking Machine Co.'s record list for
February. Mr. Barron has written a new song
entitled "The Girl in the Purple Mask," which
is being featured by the Universal Film Co.,
with their elaborate new picture serial, "The
Purple Mask."
Herbert H. Gordon, of the estate of Hamilton
S. Gordon, music publisher, has been in Phila-
delphia during the week calling on the trade
in that city. Mr. Gordon is temporarily acting
as road representative in place of Milton H.
Berry, who after a period of three years with
the firm has severed his connection to enter
Wall street in the capacity of bond salesman
for a prominent house.
The ballad, "Love, Here Is My Heart," which
John McCormack recently sang for the records
of the Victor Talking Machine Co., is being re-
ceived everywhere as one of the best ballads of
the season. The number is published by Leo
Feist, Inc.
