—Otto Schroeder a Visitor
The N. C. Davis Music Co., Nashville, Tenn.,
purchased late in September a new two-story
brick building at 410 Fifth avenue, N., that city.
It is ideally located in the heart of the theatrical
district, adjacent to the Lincoln, Bijou, Star,
Loew's, Princess and Orpheum theatres, as well
as many of the motion picture houses and the
prominent business structures. It is now being
remodeled and in addition to the music business
it will also house a music school, offering the
general public a musical education. A retail
store in which departments carrying stocks of
sheet music, musical instruments, music rolls,
records and accessories will also be opened on
the ground floor.
N. C. Davis will head the school and O. B.
Davis, Jr., will manage the music store. These
two boys were born in the town of Pulaski,
Tenn., landed in Nashville some years ago with
$25 capital between them, and rented a one-
room office in the Pythian Temple building, and
with the rap and tap of drum and the tooting
of cornet have blown and beaten themselves
from a $5 per month office rent to a beautiful
business home costing over $5,000.
PORTLAND, ORE., October 30.—The sheet music
department of Seiberling-Lucas Music Co. is
doing the biggest October business it has
ever done, and owing to the opening of schools
October is always the biggest sales month in
that department. But this October is really a
record breaker. "I Passed by Your Window,"
published by Enoch & Son, is being featured
and is very much liked. Other good sellers arc
"Sweet September." "Love Nest," "I Never
Knew" and "Baby." Other song features are
•'Amorita," "In Old Manila" and "A Vacant
Chair at Home, Sweet Home."
Otto P. Schroeder, who is a representative of
the Bosworth Music Pub. Co., of New York, is
visiting Portland and calling on the sheet music
dealers. Mr. Schroeder says the song which
he is featuring at present is "The Heart of
Mine" and it is a big hit, and dealers are de-
lighted with it.
"You, Dear," "You're the Only Girl That Made
Me Cry," "I'll Be Your Regular Sweetie" are
being featured at Woolworth's.
Two of the "Black and White" edition songs
are selling particularly well at Lipman, Wolfe &
Co.'s. They are "Blind Ploughman" (Clarke)
and "The Hand of You" (Carrie Jacobs-Bond).
NEW P1NKARD NUMBER
After a short absence from the song Writing
field, Maceo Pinkard, better known as the com-
poser of "Mammy o' Mine," has just written, in
collaboration with Buddy Green and Jack Mc-
Coy, a new fox-trot entitled "Waitin' for Me."
The number is already being heard in vaude-
ville, being programmed by several headliners.
Fred Fisher, Inc., are the publishers.
The new ballad, "Broadway Rose/' published
by the above company, is receiving a special
campaign by the professional department.
LEAVES LEGACY TO MUSIC COLLEGE
The will of Mrs. Ancella M. Fox, the Chi-
cago voice teacher and composer who died re-
cently, left the Chicago Music College a sum
towards the foundation of a scholarship fund.
This is in the form of royalties from a number
of songs.
NEW NUMBER BY PETROVA
M. Wit-mark & Sons have accepted for pub-
lication a new number written by Olga Petrova,
entitled "A Golden Day in June," the lyrics of
which are by Marion Gillespie.
