McCORMACK APPEARS IN BOSTON
Noted Tenor Features "The Barefoot Trail" at
Recent Concert
John McCormack gave a concert in Boston,
Mass., on Friday evening of last week. As
.usual with Mr. McCormack's appearances, he
sang to a capacity audience. The most suc-
cessful number on his program, according to
the reception which the various songs re-
ceived, appeared to be "The Barefoot Trail."
He was compelled to give several encores of
this new song, which he discovered while tour-
ing the South several months ago. Boosey &
Co. publish the above number.

house, have just inaugurated a big campaign in
behalf of a new number from the pen of Lee
David entitled "Clouds" (That Pass in the
Night). It has been arranged as a fox-trot and
some of the leading orchestras are already fea-
turing it.
It is understood that the publishers have ap-
propriated a very large amount of money to ex-
ploit this new David "work. Publicity will be
started at once and will cover practically every
channel.
The new patented "Vaudograph," a form of
motion picture serving to give publicity to the
Nice catalog, will feature "Clouds" in a new
fifteen-minute reel now being prepared.

ONE OF THE SEASON'S FAVORITES
"On Miami Shore," the big success from the
catalog of Chappell • &r Co., has" been mechan-
ically reproduced by practically all the talking
machine record and music roll manufacturing
organizations in the country. As a song it is
heard on both the concert and vaudeville stage
and as a waltz it is apparently among the most
popular produced in several seasons. The sales
of the number have been steady since its re-
lease and recent indications show these are in-
creasing in volume.
NEW REMICK BALLAD
"Venetian Moon," one of the new numbers in
the Jerome H. Remick & Co. catalog, is con-
sidered in the trade as a very unique ballad.
In addition, it is having more than usual success
as an instrumental number.
