MUSIC AS THE CAMERAS CLICK
Remick Song Hits Will Be Sung in San Fran-
cisco From Auto Truck
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL., November 27.—Unusual
publicity is being given the Remick song hits
in the daily papers, due to the arrangements
made by Ford Rush, professional representative
of that concern in San Francisco. In connec-
tion with an amateur photography contest one
of the newspapers is providing an automobile
tiuck on which are carried singers who sing
the Remick numbers on Market street. These
singers will entertain when amateur photogra-
phers snap the widely known "Sun Maid" who
has posed for so many California raisin adver-
tisements.
Mose Gumble, representative of the Jerome
H. Remick Co., is on the Pacific Coast, looking
over the territory for the first time. He has
arranged to open several new Remick Song
Shops in Texas and other Southern States.

REVIEW
SONG WRITERS, LISTEN TO THIS
Bi-National Anthem, if Successful, May Give
Rise to Some Strange Music
The first bi-national anthem has made its ap-
pearance, says a newspaper dispatch. It is called
"The Sun and the Stars," and was written by a
former member of the faculty of Keiogijuku
University. The hope is that it will help cement
friendship among Japanese and Americans who
sing it. Set to the tune of "Columbia, the Gem
of the Ocean," the chorus runs:
Hurrah for the sun and the stars!
Banzai for the stars and the sun!
Enshrined in all life it is written
The God of all nations is one.
If this bi-national harmonizer works, as we
all hope it will, who will be the first to carry
it a step further and produce a poly-national
anthem, taking in a few of the other countries
with which we could afford to be on friendly
musical terms? We may yet be asked to sing
something like this, for example:
My country, 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of Wacht am Rhein,
Erin go bragh.
Long may Britannia rule,
Banzai, Hoch, Sante Skol!
Allons, Czech, Turk, and Pole,
A la patrie.
