window display of the Southern California took advantage of that fact and gave the title lack of sheet music, musical instruments, and
accessories in New Zealand at present, with
prices very greatly increased along all lines,
The demand for sheet music is greater than the
supply, since music from Great Britain is slow
arriving, and there has "been some difficulty
relative to sheet music from the United States,
the copyrights not having been properly pro-
tected in some cases here, to the detriment of
American interests. The shortage of musical
instrument accessories seems to be the most
serious; it is practically impossible to procure
piano wires, piano keys, strings for small
stringed instruments, etc., and when obtainable
prices have advanced in many cases fOO per cent.
Prior to the war Germany supplied quite a
large proportion of the musical instruments and
accessories on sale here, especially such instru-
ments as mouth organs, accordions, and violins,
and the strings for stringed instruments. At
the beginning of the war Japan made a strong
bid for this business, but at first failed quite

JOE KEIT HAVING BUSY SEASON
TWO NEW NUMBERS BY ROBERTS
A HANDSOME WINDOW DISPLAY
"After All" and "You Don't Know" are two
numbers published by Jerome H. Remick & Co.,
of which Lee Roberts is the composer. Accord-
ing to the publishers both of the songs are as-
sured successes and it is felt they will rival in
popularity Mr. Roberts' well-known "Smiles,"
which without doubt is one of the biggest hits
in many seasons, a number that practically
everyone knows and sings, but which is still
having a heavy sale.
McKINLEY NUMBERS IN CONCERT
John O'Malley, the famous Irish tenor, is just
finishing a vaudeville tour and is now preparing
concert engagements, which will occupy his
time for the next several months. Among other
songs he is featuring are the high-class McKin-
ley Music Co. numbers, "Liberty, Ring On" and
"Your Voice Came Back to Me."
TO REPRESENT FOUR CATALOGS
Harry Newman, one of the best-known sales-
men in the music publishing field, has severed
his connection with Harry Von Tilzer and will
go on the road with the catalogs of four pub-
lishers.
"WHEN I COME HOME
TO YOU"
Words by WILL J. CALLAHAN
Music by FRANK H. GRET
3 Keys
This is the busy week for Joe Keit, sales man-
ager of Jerome H. Remick & Co., who is mak-
ing flying trips to the Remick branches in Phila-
delphia, Baltimore, Washington, Pittsburgh and
Cleveland. Mr. Keit, by the way, is an expert
accountant and will audit the books at each of
the stores located in the above cities. This to-
gether with the fact that the Remick catalog
has three of the biggest hits in the history of
the house, which also serves to keep his time
occupied, makes it some season for Joe.
FEIST SONG PLEASES PRESIDENT
When President Wilson left the United States
on December 11 on the U. S. S. "George Wash-
ington" he did not know that one of the sur-
prises on the trip would be a musical show given
by the sailors aboard the vessel. The show was
produced under the name "Musical Gambol" and
was in the.nature of a musical farce on "Uncle
Tom's Cabin" with a good program of songs
interspersed. The feature song of the program
proved to be one that was most appropriate
for the occasion, "The Navy Took Them Over
and the Navy Will Bring Them Back." The
song is published by Leo Feist, Inc., and is prov-
ing a tremendous seller.
