IlHE REviEWI\EARS I
THAT a new musical play, "Look \t\fho's Here,"
fOl which Si lvio He in wrote the mus ic, will
open early in tbe fall, with Cecil Lean and Cleo
Mayfield in the stellar roles.
TH .\1' with the co ntinue d encourage ment of th e
dt'aJers the publishers intend to place marc and
morc of their numb e rs in their high- class cat
alogs.
THAT in view 'o f the fact that some of the big
gest successes of the past season readily retailed
at 30 cents, without impairin g the sales, popular
publishers will not hesitate to give more promi
nence to their 30-cent numbers.
THAT Edward P. Littl e was one of the first
dealers to arrive at the conven tion, getting here
or, Tuesday of last week. \t\fhile here he was
a guest at th e Republican Club.
T HAT it is now understood that Ernest Ball's
"Turn Back the Cniverse and Give Me Yes
terday" is to be the official national song July 1.
THAT there mayor may not be some reason
other than July is to be dry which caused the
F(;ist organ ization to change their annual con
v("n tion date from July to June.
THAT we will probably get a new supply of nov
elty songs dealing with dry conditions shor tly,
inasmuch as most of the "Prohibition" numbers
will hardly be well recei\ied with the co ming of
the dry season.
THAT the Grea·ter New York Music Publi shers'
and Dealers' :'\ssociati on s howed some class in
ordering a special car for the outing on Thurs
day.
THAT one of th e newer mu sical pr oductions
has a song caIled "VI edding Blues." All of
which might lead to the an swer " I know it, but
why sing about it?"
TH AT, despite the fact that there should be no
scarcit y of song titles, we st ill have th e full
ql,ota of charges that variou s title s o f lIew
