GOOD-BYE, PITTSBURGH" NOW

Smoky City Troops Localize Latest Feist Patri-
otic Hit in Effective Way
Nine Members of Staff of Publishing Concern
Now Enrolled in Army Service
During the parade of the National Guard or-
ganizations in Pittsburgh, Pa., which was held
on August 19, one of the most unusual "plugs"
given any song was noted when the mounted
artillery band, which had been playing "Good-
bye Broadway, Hello France," stopped in front
of the reviewing stand and each musician with
the aid of a small megaphone sang "Good-bye
Pittsburgh, Hello France," thus localizing the
song. Not only did this unusual demonstra-
tion take place, but no Pittsburgh paper could
afford to ignore a song hit in which the name
Pittsburgh was featured, so it led them all to
give quite a story to the affair and the song.
The song, "Good-bye Broadway, Hello France,"
is published by Leo Feist, Inc., and is conceded
to be a hit. It is thought that in future editions
of the song a note will appear on every copy
stating the name of the local city can be used
if desired in place of the word Broadway.
Among the music publishing organizations
that have felt the loss of employees through
draft and from voluntary enlistments is the
Boston Music Co., Boston, Mass., who have up
to this time had nine members of their staff
enter the service. H. L. Dupont, one of the
members of that organization, has not as yet
been called, but his younger brother is a mem-
ber of the Massachusetts organization. Mr.
Dupont expects to take a trip to New York
shortly after Labor Day.
