of illustrating the music pages themselves in

made up to now, there is no doubt that they
will some time do it.
There have been rumors for some months
that C. C. Church & Co., well-known Hartford, CHARPENTIER AND THE PUBLISHERS

edition on the market, and we now find that French Operatic Composer Has New Opera

JAY WITMARK TELLS OF TRIP
Visits Western Centers After Returning From
Europe—Hears Many Witmark Productions
OCTOBER 2, 1920
WHITEMAN'S ORCHESTRA A HIT
Clever Aggregation of Musicians Now Appear-
ing at the Palais Royal, New York
Paul Whiteman's band, which has been well
known for the past few seasons on the Pacific
Coast and which recently played a Summer en-
gagement at the new Ambassador Hotel, At-
lantic City, opened on Wednesday night of last
week at the Palais Royal, New York.
Gill Boag, manager of the Palais Royal, made
a special trip to Atlantic City and immediately
negotiated for the organization's appearance at
Paul Whiteman
the Palais Royal opening and tendered a con-
tract for the season.
Mr. Whiteman has a unique organization, and
it is said by some to be the cleverest of all
jazz aggregations. It played at the Fairmont
Hotel, San Francisco, originally, and later was
engaged to play at the Ambassador Hotel,
Santa Barbara, and also the Alexander Hotel,
Los Angeles. Its appearance in the East has
been little short of a sensation, and its New
York engagement will be enthusiastically re-
ceived in the metropolitan district.
Mr. Whiteman and his organization also
record exclusively for the Victor Talking Ma-
chine Co.
A BIG SELLER
Jay Witmark, who recently returned from a
trip to Europe, quickly departed on a tour of
the Middle West trade centers, following which
he is now again at his desk. While on the road
he ran into several of the Witmark production
successes. In Detroit he witnessed the new
'"Dearie" show, founded on Lillian Russell's old
success, "Wildfire." At the Auditorium in Chi-
cago he noted the enthusiasm with which the
production of the spectacle "Aphrodite" was re-
ceived, for which Witmark published the song
"Alexandria." He found all the stores in Chi-
cago making special displays of this number.
"Buddies," another musical show, is also having
a successful Chicago run, and the music is hav-
ing a good demand. While Western business
with the trade has been quite dull, recent weeks
have shown a decided improvement, and he
particularly found seyeral Witmark popular
numbers were having favor. These include
"Let the Rest of the World Go By," "Down
the Trail to Home Sweet Home," "Tripoli" and
"Who'll Take the Place of Mary."

Publications of Eastern Publishers Going Well
in San Francisco—"Whispering" a Favorite
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL., September 25.—The Remick
Shop is boosting the already famous song
"Whispering," which has also been taken up
by several other music houses. It is published
by Sherman, Clay & Co., this city, who
lecently sent two of their representatives, Her-
bert Marple and Harvey Orr, on a cross-country
tour.
Tommy Leahy, manager of the local offices of
Fred Fisher, Inc., is making a big sales cam-
paign on "You're the Only Girl That Made Me
Cry." He has just left town for a six months'
trip through northern California, Oregon, Wash-
ington and British Columbia. On this trip he
will also feature "Dardanella Blues."
Waterson, Berlin & Snyder will receive copies
in the near future of "Look What You Have
Done With Your Doggone Dangerous Eyes."
Mr. Harris, manager of this firm, reports In-
creased sales for "In Sweet September."
Phil Furman, manager of Irving Berlin, Inc.,
will soon put out "The Broadway Blues" and
"Rockaby Lullaby Mammie." He has already
popularized "Tired of Me" and "After You Get
What You Want You Don't -Want It."
If the Public
Only Knew!
That the non-copyrights we are
nationally advertising were common
property and issued by a hundred
publishers, they would realize the
importance of insisting on the gen-
uine CENTURY CERTIFIED EDI-
TION when ordering them.
But they don't know—and a large
percentage who read our
ads would expect when
ordering
"HUMOR-
ESQUE" to get same in
"CENTURY
EDITION"
without feeling it neces- 1
sary to specify it—as
not one in a thousand
would suspect our ad-
vertising numbers issued
by other publishers any
more than they would expect
Armour to advertise Swift's
hams.
That's WHY CENTURY needs
and deserves your backing. It's
helping you sell non-copyrights,
which is something no other house
has ever done.

The "Twelfth Street Rag," published by J. W.
Jenkins' Sons Music Co., Kansas City, Mo., is
proving one of the most popular instrumental
successes of the present season. While this
number is not new in any sense of the word, its
big popularity seems to have been reaching
towards its apex. Over 35,000 orchestrations of
this number are now in the hands of the or-
chestra leaders, and it has been recorded by
practically every talking machine record and
player roll organization in the United States.
Its sale in sheet music form has also increased.
