MORET UNDER EXCLUSIVE CONTRACT
All His Recent Compositions Being Published
by the House of Daniels & Wilson, Inc.
In order to set aside rumors to the contrary,
Daniels & Wilson, Inc., of New York and San
Francisco, announce that Neil Moret is writing
exclusively for that house. The question arose
when a song" written by Moret a number of
years ago was rcpublished by a well-known
house.
Moret is the composer of such successes as
"Mickey," "Yearning," "Peggy," etc., and with
Maude Fulton he recently wrote "Singapoo,"
"Raggedy Man" and "Honey." He has also
collaborated with Louis Weslyn in writing
"Sally," "Rose of Romany," etc., all the fore-
going numbers being published by Daniels &
Wilson.

NEW NUMBERS BY GILBERT
L. Wolfe Gilbert, who has been touring the

Dr. Anselm Goetzl is the author of several
specially written songs for the production
"Aphrodite," of which "Alexandria" is the most
prominent.
Both the Columbia and Victor companies are
featuring, with attractive advertising matter,
their records of L. Wolfe Gilbert's success,
"Granny," which both companies released in
December. A heavy sale of the record of this
song is anticipated in view of the large sales of
the number in sheet music form throughout the
country.
Another Gilbert success has been launched in
the form of a comedy song, "Will It Ever Be
the Same Again?" which Mr. Gilbert himself
presented for the first time from the stage of
the Majestic Theatre in Chicago, where he
played last week.
"HAND IN HAND AGAIN" POPULAR
Jerome H. Remick & Co. apparently have a
1'ig success in the ballad, "Hand in Hand Again."

Egen, authors of "Till We Meet Again," which
was without doubt one of the biggest hits of
the past season, or for that matter, of many
seasons.

released to the profession the song "Swanee,"
