Don't Wait
Until your customers learn to
know of "Century Edition" from
outside sources, and then expect
them to come to you and insist on
your supplying it!
Let every person who passes or
enters your shop know you carry
"Century Edition," and you will
notice a marked increase in your
general sales as "Century' is an
all-around stimulant!

A FINE YEAR FOR MUSIC DEALERS
Those Attending Conventions Agree That Busi-
ness During Season Has Been Excellent
It has been reported from time to time during
the past season by the road salesmen of the
various music publishing companies that the
music dealers have been having a good year.
It remained, however, for the dealers themselves
who were in convention last week to corroborate
their statements and, in fact, they state they
had, on the whole, one of the best seasons in
the history of the business, and that the out-
look was exceptionally bright for a continuation
of heavy sales. The only drawback, of course,
to the business of last season, and the coming
season for that matter, is the fact that, with the
higher prices for all materials, labor, etc., nec-
essary for the successful carrying on of a pro-
gressive and efficient music house the profits
are little better than previous years and, in
fact, call for good business judgment in all pur-
chases to keep the profits up to normal. The
dealers impressed this on one another showing
they were practically all of the same mind so it
should be unnecessary for the matter to be fur-
ther emphasized.
McKinley's New Song Success
THAT when an orchestra in the West walked
out at the beginning of a vaudeville perform-
ance, one of the actors whistled the music for
the entire show.
THAT it would be well for music publishers to
provide whistling scores of their music for just
such emergencies.
THAT Broadway looks deserted to the music
man with all the publishers and dealers home-
ward bound after the convention.
THAT both the publishers and dealers had
the satisfaction of accomplishing something at
least during their meetings.
THAT The Review has received many compli-
ments for presenting the most complete pub-
lished report of the convention.
THAT Chas. K. Harris has blossomed out as a
motion picture theatre owner in Flushing, L. I.
THAT the new "Follies" as usual has given to
numerous publishers the chance to put over
some new songs.
THAT it does not necessarily mean they will
prove hits.
THAT some song pluggers are now wondering
where they will stand under the Federal inter-
pretation of "useful occupations."

MUSIC TEACHERS' CONVENTION
SAYS IT'S "AMERICAN TIPPERARY'
New York State Music Teachers' Association
Will Gather in New York Next Week—An
Elaborate Program Arranged For
Chas. K. Harris Believes That Term Describes
Properly His New Song "If You Hear Them
Calling Clancy" (He's My Boy)
The New York State Music Teachers' Asso-
ciation will hold its thirtieth annual convention
at the Hotel Majestic, New York, on Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday of next week, June
25 to 27. The convention committee has ar-
ranged a program, including concerts in the
afternoon and evening of each day, admission
to which will be by membership card or single
day tickets. The artists who will appear are
Loraine Wyman, Howard Brockway, Mary Jor-
dan, the Tollefsen Trio, the Elsa Fischer String
Quartet, William Wheeler, Leo Ornstein, Flor-
ence Macbeth, Eddie Brown and many others.
Addresses will be made by Harry Barnhart,
Dr. Frank R. Rix, Dr. Frank Crane, Ernest
Hutcheson, Daniel Gregory Mason, Sigmund
Spaeth, Dr. Holbrook Curtis and others.
Chas. K. Harris is advertising his new song,
"If You Hear Them Calling Clancy" (He's My
Boy) as the American Tipperary.
It cer-
tainly is a number that has lots of life and spirit,
and, as it has an appealing Irish melody with
lyrics that abound with good humor, it should
become one of the popular songs.
A large
number of prominent singers in vaudeville are
already using it, and, as it is a number that lends
itself readily to the singing of large bodies, it
has possibilities of becoming one of the leading
songs of the camps.
