"NOW I KNOW" IN VAUDEVILLE
A CATALOG OF FAST SELLERS
Nat Renard and Betty Jordan, the singing
team known in vaudeville as Renard and Jor-
dan, now have a novelty vaudeville skit entitled
"The New Hotel Clerk," and have been booked
over the Pantages Circuit, opening January 4,
at Minneapolis. They are featuring Jos. W.
Stern & Co.'s latest successful song hit, "Now
I Know," and expect to meet with great success
with that number.

Sherman, Clay & Co., the well-known music
dealers and publishers of San Francisco, have at
the present time one of the fastest selling cat-
alogs of timely numbers which that house has
ever issued. Included in these song and instru-
mental successes are "Behind Your Silken Veil,"
"Cairo," "Ole Virginny," "Roses at Twilight,"
"You and I," "Sometime" and "Betty." "Cairo,"
by the way, is by Harold Weeks, writer of
"Chong." "You and I" and "Hold Me" are
by Art Hickman, author of "Rose Room," and
head of the well-known Art Hickman Orches-
tra, which is a feature of dance life of San Fran-
cisco and the same organization which created
such a furore in New York dancing circles some
months ago, when it was brought East to
record for the Columbia Graphophone Co.
E. P. Little, head of the music department of
Sherman, Clay & Co., is certainly to be con-
gratulated on the activity his numbers are show-
ing. Several of them, in addition to having big
sales at the present time, are more than popular
with the mechanical reproduction companies.

Mose Grumble, professional manager of the
company, had placed the new Remick song
"Peachie" with three productions in twenty-
four hours. These include the Shubert "Gaie-

was charged by Harry Green with the theft of
five hams. Barrow declared he had been lis-
tening to a talking machine playing "I've Got
the Alcoholic Blues" and being in sympathy
with the song, he fell. Asked to sing it, Barrow
did and the jury freed him on his promise to
be good.
