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.

selling fully a thousand copies of the song.
Much of the credit for the attractive displays,
as well as the sales, must be given to Miss Mae
Brun and Miss Florence Minnick, of the music
department, who made special efforts to make
the week a big success. Frank Foss, manager
of the Baltimore office of the A. J. Stasny Music
Co., in a recent letter to his firm, was very en-
thusiastic over the way these two young ladies
co-operated in the special drive, and stated that
it would hardly be possible for a better ar-
ranged or a more effective sales campaign to be
planned and carried out.
McCarthy & Fisher, Inc., have signed Her-
man Timberg, the composer, to a contract to
write exclusively for them for a term of years.
Mr. Timberg is producing a musical act for
vaudeville entitled "Chicken Chow Main."
It is understood that the above publishing
house has advanced at least $2,000 for the rights
of the musical numbers of the piece. This is,
without doubt, the first advance royalty that was
ever paid for'the publishing rights for the music
of a vaudeville act.

"HAWAIIAN LULLABY" A HIT
NEW NOVELTY SONG
Dorothy Terriss and Ethel Bridges are the
authors of "Hawaiian Lullaby," a popular num-
ber from the catalog of Leo Feist, Inc. The
song, although one of the more recent issues in
the above firm's catalog, is already being given
recognition in professional and trade circles.
Miss Terriss is also the author of "Sing Me
Love's Lullaby," a number from the high-class
catalog of the same 'firm and a song that was
piogrammed by some of the Metropolitan
Opera Co.'s artists.
One of the new novelty songs is entitled
"Daa Dee Dum," the work of Leon Flatow and
Nat Vincent, published by Leo Feist, Inc. The
number has been announced as the successor to
"Ja-Da" and it seems to have a melody every
bit as catchy as that popular composition.
