FILM STARS FOR SONG SLIDES
The neighborhood motion picture houses have
for several seasons been running slides to illus-
trate various popular songs which are sung at
their theatres, and they have noticed that hereto-
fore these slides were posed for either by
models unknown, or, where motion picture stars
were used, these were apparently selected from
already existing photographs not always appro-
priate.
Fred Fisher, Inc., however, announce an in-
novation in regard to such slides, and they have
secured two such well-known film figures as
Virginia Lee and Percy Marmot to pose espe-
cially for the illustrated slides for their new
number, "Broadway Rose."

NEW MUSIC SHOP IN KANSAS CITY
Leib & Yellman Are Proprietors of Fine New
Sheet Music Establishment
KANSAS CITY, MO., October 30.—A new shop in
Kansas City is that of Julius Leib and Duke
Yellman at 3 West Twelfth street, which is an
exclusive sheet music establishment with a most
complete line of stock. The company, upon
opening, announced that it was also engaged in
the musical publishing business and that its pro-
prietors were also composers and arrangers.
It has recently been stated that there will soon
be opened in Kansas City a new commercial re-
cital hall in the business district and that the
business will be exclusively retail of sheet music
and talking machine records, although the names
of the promoters of the new recital hall have not
been made public.
The fact that the demand for sheet music has
become so great in Kansas City gives visual evi-
dence of the increase in demand for the straight
piano.
SHEET MUSIC MANAGERS SCARCE
WASHINGTON, D. C,
November 1.—Are com-
petent sheet music managers a scarce article?
Ask a music house in this city. The firm in
question adveFtised locally for a sheet music
stock clerk, as well as for an experienced popu-
lar sheet music manager and pianist. Receiving
no response to their advertisements, they stated
their wants in publications with a nation-wide
circulation—and failed to receive one answer.

HOME FROM LONG AUTO TRIP
Orr and Marple Return From 6,000-mile Tour in
Interests of "Whispering"
SAN
FRANCISCO, CAL., October 30.—Harvey Orr
and Herbert Marple have returned from their
six-thousand-mile automotbile trip from San
Francisco to Chicago. The object of the trip
was to boost "Whispering" for Sherman, Clay
& Co. Mr. Orr is said to have sung "Whisper-
ing" 6,000 times, accompanied by Marple on the
piano. They went by way of Seattle and the
Northwest, singing the song in many small
towns where it had never before been heard.
John Heinzman, manager of the San Fran-
cisco office of the Broadway Music Co., mapped
out a campaign for special exploitation of the
Broadway hit, "Chili Bean," for the week of
October 11, designated as "Chili Bean Week."
Every orchestra in town featured the number for
that period. Next week Heinzman will com-
mence work on "I Told You So." Sales are in-
creasing rapidly in California for "Appleblossom
Time," which Heinzman has been boosting.
Ford Rush, manager of Jerome H. Remick &
Co., San Francisco, has been pushing "Avalon"
and "Japanese Sandman." His efforts are meet-
ing with remarkable success. After these two
numbers have been thoroughly "plugged" Mr.
Rush will devote his entire time to work on
the newest Remick number, "Beautiful Anna-
belle Lee.''
Phil Furman's hard work on the Berlin
numbers, "Fair One" and "Rock-a-bye Lulla-bye
Mammy," has increased the sales of these num-
bers to remarkable figures for the California
territory.
