fit to Dealers and the Public Alike
Saul H. Bornstein, general manager of the
Broadway Music Corp., announced early last
week that Herbert I. Avery had been appointed
business and sales manager of the company.
Mr. Avery is one of the best known men in the
music publishing field, having been connected
with some of the largest publishing houses in
the country, including M. Witmark & Sons.
More recently he acted as general manager of
Al Piantadosi & Co., Inc.
The position taken over by Mr. Avery will
include the management of Artmusic, Inc., the
company organized over a year ago to publish
high class music. Artmusic, Inc., in the com-
paratively short time they have been in the field,
have issued a catalog of standard numbers which
have reached much prominence in the trade.
Among the most successful of these are "For-
ever Is a Long, Long Time," "One for All and
All for One," "Waters of Venice" (vocal and in-
strumental), and "When the Sun Goes Down in
Flanders."
Mr. Bornstein, speaking of the acquisition of
Mr. Avery to his staff, stated, "In the appoint-
ment of Mr. Avery we have secured the services
of the best manager and sales manager in the
music business. The Broadway Music Corp. has
had a phenomenal success for the past few years.
Our energies and efforts in that direction will
be continued, and in addition Artmusic, Inc.,
which is growing very fast, will receive more
thought than ever. In fact, the-coming fall cam-
paign by that company and the numbers that
will be featured will be one of the surprises of
the season."
BOYCE COMBE SINGS COHAN'S SONG
Boyce Combe, the English comedy star, has
added Geo. M. Cohan's new war song, "When
You Come Back, and You Will Come Back,
There's the Whole World Waiting for You," to
his act. It is the ninth number on his pro-
gram, and he has to make a speech every time
after the fourth chorus in order to get away.
M. Witmark & Sons, the publishers, are hard
put to it to meet the demand for this typical
Cohan hit, which has jumped into great popu-
larity in a very short time.
GREAT NATIONAL MARCH SONG
ROUSING LYRIC, WONDERFUL SWING
7 cents
The song "In the Land o' Yamo Yamo"
(Funiculi-Funiculi-Funicula) is one of the most
popular in the catalog of McCarthy & Fisher,
Inc. It has not only proved a big favorite on
the vaudeville stage, but has also been a popular

Meeting With Success
Window Display of "Land o' Yamo Yamo"
attraction in the music departments throughout
the country, especially as a demonstration song.
The dealers and the syndicate stores are giving
it a prominent position on their counters, and
many of them have used the song in attractive
window displays. The song is a comedy number,
with a melody which is quite catchy, and it has
promise of being popular for a long time. Here-
with is shown a window of the F. W. Wool-
worth store, 558 Washington street, Boston,
Mass., which gives some idea of how the title
page of the number lends itself to attractive
window displays.
"SMILES" MEETING WITH SUCCESS
Remick & Co. Pleased With Popularity Their
New Number Is Being Accorded
J. H. Remick & Co., who are carrying on a big
campaign popularizing "Smiles," the big song
hit by Lee S. Roberts and Will J. Callahan, are
finding it meeting with success everywhere. The
number has jumped into prominence faster than
was originally expected, although the firm stated
immediately after its purchase it would have a
tremendous popularity. It is now taxing the
Remick organization to make the deliveries in
the large quantities in which the trade is order-
ing the number.

DEATH OF EDWARD I. HORSMAN
Edward Imeson Horsman, Jr., formerly music
critic of the New York Herald and a composer
of a number of songs, died at his home in Sum-

organist of St. Andrew's Church, and he had
studied with some of the most famous organists
in England.
He was the composer of such
songs as "The Bird of the Wilderness," after
Tagore's poem, sung by Alma Gluck, and other
leading concert singers, and was author of the
patriotic chorus "Stand, Stand Up, America."
He was in his forty-fifth year.
"The Shepherd's Evening Prayer," by George
B. Nevin, published two months ago by Harold
Flammer, Inc., has met with almost instantane-
ous success. Since publication it has already ap-
peared on the programs of many distinguished
organists. Among those who are using it are
Dr. Francis Hemington, Chicago, 111.; J. Frank
Frysinger, Lincoln, Neb.; Miss Alice Harrison,
Honolulu, Hawaii; George Herbert Fairclough.

McKinley Music Co.
Hinds, Hayden & Eldredge, Inc., who recently
announced the change in prices of the "Most
Popular Music Books," are sending out to the
trade, on request, a very attractive display card
in two colors advertising these publications, a
reproduction of which appears on page 47 of
this issue of The Review.
The new prices, while calling for a raise in the
wholesale and retail price, are at the same time
not a radical change, and although the fact the
prices are all strictly net and the books are sold
without discount to the retail trade is a new de-
parture, it is one that is receiving the support of
the dealers throughout the country. The fact
that other publishers have made .their prices net,
with no discount, and that several more are con-
templating the move should encourage the deal-
ers to display the cards with the new price ar-
rangements, so as to educate their trade to the
new conditions. The success of these new poli-
cies will bring a new era of prosperity to the
dealer and publisher alike, and at the same time
will be the means of eliminating any unfairness
to the buying public.
