A NEW SHERMAN, CLAY SUCCESS
"Coral Sea" Is Latest Release of San Francisco
Publishing House—Big Campaign Planned—
Follows "Hold Me" and "Whispering"
Sherman, Clay & Co., the well-known San
Francisco publishers, have during the past two
seasons released a number of songs which be-
came national hits. Particularly is this true of
their "Hold Me," which they sold to Jerome H.
Remick & Co., and which, following its big
success upon the Pacific Coast, is now one of
the leading popular songs throughout the East-
ern territory.
Shortly after the success they obtained on
their number "Hold Me" they issued "Whisper-
ing," which quickly took a feature place in both
song and dance circles. Apparently not satisfied
with turning out these two successes in one
season, they have now announced a new number
entitled "Coral Sea," which is already hailed on
the Pacific Coast as an unusual hit.
We are herewith reproducing a display of

There is still a difference of opinion as to the
question of whether or not jazz is on the wane.
"I don't know," said the uniformed doorman
at a Broadway cabaret near Times Square when
asked for his opinion, "but it seems as though
the crowds don't want jazz as much as they did
a few months ago. I think jazz went along with
the war and now that the war is over people
are lookin' for a type of music that'll go well
with peace times.
"Anyhow, Ole Broadway's noticin' it. They're
playin' stuff that has less noise and more melody,
stuff that's kinda soft and dreamy. And it is a
kind of relief, ain't it?"
