SEPTEMBER 14,
1918
CONDUCTED BY B. B. WILSON
NEW CENTURY PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN
Advertisements of Century Edition to Be Car-
ried in Thirty Newspapers of the Country—
Will Supplement Magazine Advertising
The Century Music Co., who during the past
few years have advertised their musical works,
which are mostly non-copyrights in national
publications, are using an entirely new method
of reaching the buying public this year. For
the start of the fall campaign they have taken
space in thirty-one daily newspapers. Each
paper will carry three insertions of their an-
nouncements, one each in the last two weeks
of September and one in the first week in Oc-
tober. The total circulation of the papers used
is over 3,500,000, and the three insertions will
total a circulation of over 11,000,000. It is fig-
ured the advertisements will be read by over
30,000,000 people.
In addition to the daily newspaper advertis-
ing a full page will appear in the October issue
of Good Housekeeping, followed by a quarter
of a page in the November issue of the Ladies'
Home Journal. Throughout the coming season
the national publicity will be carried on as here-
tofore, and it is stated that if the dealers see
the value of this new publicity and co-operate
with the company much of the future appro-
priations will be spent in the daily papers. Of
course, this is a much more direct method of
making the announcements local from the deal-
ers' standpoint. Among the publications to be
used are Chicago Tribune, St. Louis Post-Des-
patch, Boston Post, San Francisco Examiner,
Los Angeles Examiner, Portland Oregonian,
Seattle Times, Houston Chronicle, Richmond
Virginian, Denver News, Wilmington News,
Washington Times, Fort Wayne Star, New Or-
leans Times, Picayune, Baltimore Star, Detroit
Journal, Kalamazoo Gazette, Minneapolis Trib-
une, Lincoln Star, Trenton Times, Albany Jour-
nal, New York Globe, New York Mail, Canton
News, Cleveland News, Toledo Blade and Har-
risburg, Lancaster, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia
papers in the State of Pennsylvania.

Miss Amy Ashmore Clark Appointed Head of
Concert and Teachers' Department of That
Company—Great Progress During Year
Bandmaster at Washington Navy Yard Writes
of Appreciation of Pace & Handy Music—
Many Professionals Using Company's Songs
Artmusic, Inc., the well-known publishers of
standard music, announce they have appointed
Miss Amy Ashniore Clark as the head of the
concert and teachers' department of the com-
pany. Miss Clark is a well-known composer,
having been connected with the writing staffs
of some of the larger music publishing houses.
She has spent many years in theatrical and con-
cert work and has appeared in public herself
in recitations. Probably her best-known song
is "My Rosary for You," of which Ernest Ball
is co-author, the number being published by M.
Witmark & Sons.
The studios of Artmusic, Inc., are now being
rearranged and refurnished, and Miss Clark is
endeavoring to put a personal touch in all the
surroundings. A campaign will be inaugurated
early this fall by the company and their ef-
forts to make their numbers popular with the
teachers will be in co-operation with the dealers
of the country. The company is a little over a
year old, but during that time they have gathered
together a catalog of no mean proportions, and
among the numbers they have issued several
have won recognition, among others being the
ballad "Forever Is a Long, Long Time." Their
catalog is divided into four divisions, classic, in-
strumental, art and production.
The popularity of the clever "blues" numbers
published and featured by the Pace & Handy
Music Co. is indicated by the following letter
received by that company recently from S.
Totino, bandmaster, U. S. N., stationed at the
Navy Yard, Washington, D. C. Mr. Totino says:
"Just a few words to let you know that your
'Florida Blues,' 'Beale Street Blues' and a num-
ber of your other numbers which we have are
making a very big hit for us. The Washing-
ton newspapers give our band and orchestra
the reputation of being the best 'jazz' organiza-
tion north of New Orleans. I would appreciate
it very much if you will send me any numbers
that come out in the future. Mr. Freedman
brought me all of your recent hits, which I
expect to go very big. Will close with many
thanks."
Since opening their New York headquarters
in the Gaiety Theatre Building the Pace &
Handy Music Co. have been very successful in
placing their numbers with prominent members
of the vaudeville profession. Incidentally the
company's music appears in practically all the
talking machine records and music rolls.

Wrong
With
eistSo
"Fiddlers Three," an operetta produced by
John Cort, opened early last week at John Cort's
own theatre in New York and, according to the
consensus of opinion, is due for a long stay. It
is an operetta of the old-fashioned kind and has
eighteen musical numbers, all of which come in
for commendation from the local critics. Among
the more prominent of these are "Can It Be
Love at Last," which, by the way, is the lead-
ing theme of the operetta; "For Love," "As the
Thrilling Swallows Fly," "Love of a Day,"
"One Hour, Sweetheart, With You," "When the
Fiddler's Bow Begins to Fly," "All on Account
of Nipper" and "Don't You Think You'll Miss
Me?" all of which are a substantial addition
to the Witmark list of production numbers.

"SOME NIGHT" MUSIC PLEASES
HARRIS NUMBERS IN VAUDEVILLE
Joe Howard Featuring Several of His Songs
in New Production—Eddie Leonard and
Willie Weston Also Scoring at Present
Joseph E. Howard's new vaudeville produc-
tion, "The Song Birds," opened at the River-
side Theatre last week and scored an emphatic
success with three Chas. K. Harris publications,
written by Mr. Howard himself, and entitled
respectively "Gee Whiz, Those Eyes," "Hello
Girlie" and "Liberty Glide." Eddie Leonard
in vaudeville is using "Sweetness, Honeysuckle
of Mine," while Willie Weston is scoring with
a new composition, "At the Allies' Flower Gar-
den Ball," both of them Harris publications.
"Break the News to Mother" continues to be
featured by a large number of performers.
MISS HUNTZINGER ARRIVES
A baby girl arrived at the summer home of
R. L. ' Huntzinger in Harbor Point, Harbor
Springs, Mich., late last week.
The happy
father is a member of the firm of Huntzinger &
Dilworth, the well-known publishers of stand-
ard music.
McKinley's New Song Success
THE SONG THAT TOUCHES EVERY HEART
The new musical comedy "Some Night" is
now running in Boston, where the various mu-
sical numbers are proving most popular. The
big hits are: "With the Boy I Love," "Alone
in a Great Big World," "Something That Money
Can't Buy" and "Send Me a Real Girl." The
music is published by M. Witmark & Sons.
SOME NEW BOOSEY NUMBERS SOON
Michael Keane, of Boosey & Co., returned on
Monday of this week after a vacation spent
with his family at Ocean Grove, N. J. Mr.
Keane promises the trade an early introduc-
tion to the new fall numbers of the Boosey
catalog.
USING "THAT SOOTHING SERENADE"
Adele Rowland, the musical comedy star who
is now filling an engagement in vaudeville, is
using the Witmark number "That Soothing
Serenade," written for her by Harry DeCosta,
which is proving one of the hits of her reper-
toire.
STASNY CLASHES WITH OPERA
Music Publisher's Car Struck by That of Gatti-
Cassaza, Opera Manager—Nobody Hurt
While taking some of his staff home from a
late Saturday night, spent in filling a large gen-
eral order, A. J. Stasny, of the A. J. Stasny
Music Co., collided with an automobile which,
carried Gatti-Cassaza, manager of the Metro-
politan Opera Co. The Stasny car was travel-
ing leisurely northward on Fifth avenue, near-
ing Fifty-eighth street, when the other car shot
from the side street across the avenue, carrying
the Stasny machine to the curb and greatly
shaking up the occupants of the car, who, how-
ever, were not seriously hurt.
Leslie & Fitzgerald is the title of the latest
firm to enter the music publishing field in New
York, having opened offices on Forty-sixth
street, near Broadway. They will announce sev-
eral numbers shortly.
