A big sales and publicity campaign has been
inaugurated by the E. T. Paull Music Co. in
behalf of their new Oriental song and fox-trot,
"Armenian Maid." By special permission the
song is dedicated to Aurora Mardiganian, the
little Armenian maid who plays the feature role
in the photo play success, "Auction of Souls."
In issuing the song the E. T. Paull Music
Co. have embodied several new ideas never be-
fore incorporated in sheet music. An insert
carrying the likeness of Aurora Mardiganian, to-
gether with a short history of some of the trials
she and her people went through during the
war period, appears in every copy of the music
issued.
The publishers, as well as the larger music
jobbers, are also shipping extra copies of the
title pages of these inserts for display purposes.
The dealers throughout the country are advised
to make special displays of the number during
the period in which the photo play "Auction of
Souls" appears in their locality.
"Armenian Maid" is from the pens of M.
Alexander and Wilbur Weeks and is one of the
most fascinating Oriental melodies issued since
that type of song has become popular. The num-
ber has been placed in the high-class catalog by
the house owing to the fact that a portion of the
profits derived from the sale of the number are
contributed to the Armenian Relief.
'THE VAMP" A NEW HIT
Leo Feist, Inc., Publishing New Number That
Has Already Proved a Sensation in the West—
Featured in Ziegfeld "Follies"
"The Vamp" is the title of a new Oriental fox
trot by Byron Gay, which has been quite popu-
lar in the West. With the opening of the Zieg-
feld "Follies" this season it was placed in a
leading position in that well-known production.
It has been a decided hit and without doubt its
Eastern success will rival that received in other
sections of the country.
"The Vamp" will without doubt be one of the
biggest song and dance numbers issued in many
seasons, as the orchestras are all giving it much
publicity. It is also understood that Leo Feist,
Inc., the publishers, are to feature it in a big
advertising campaign to be inaugurated in the
near future. All of the talking machine record
and music roll manufacturers are making re-
cordings of the song in both word and instru-
mental form and this, together with the recep-
tion it is receiving from the public makes it
among the most promising of numbers issued
in some seasons.

Did you know the " shimmie"
originated in France? No, then
read the chorus of
"The Cootie Tickle"
Mose began to "Ball the Jack."
Just then up and down his back
He felt a cute little cootie
IVigglin', wigglin' in its track;
1 hat's what made him shake and twist,
He did something just like this—
And everyone began to wiggle with 'im.
Their shoulders movin' to the raggy rhythm.
It's the "Cootie Tickle" back in France,
Over here it's the Shimmie Dance.
