THE
NOTES FROM PACIFIC COAST TRADE
Various Publishers Enjoying Good Trade in
Their Latest Popular Song Hits
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL., November 27.—"Old Pal,
Why Don't You Answer Me," a Waterson, Ber-
lin and Snyder number, is becoming popular in
San Francisco largely due to the efforts of Miss
Helene Hughes, who is singing the number at
various theatres in this city where she has
joined the local branch office of the publishing
house. Mort Harris, manager, is starting a
campaign to popularize "Margie," which he says
will become a big hit in California. Copies of
"June," recently written by Art Hickman,
famous orchestra leader who has returned to
San Francisco, have been received.
A new number written by Vincent Rose,
writer of "Avalon," the Remick hit, will be pub-
lished by Sherman, Clay & Co., according to
announcement of Ed Little, manager of sheet
music publishing for the firm. "Coral Sea,"
published by Sherman, Clay & Co., has become
an established hit, and Mr. Little will also
commence to work on "Gingham Gown Girlie"
as soon as orchestrations arrive.
B. E. Adkins, manager of the Remick Song
Shop, Market street, is featuring general counter
sellers in his sheet music department as an
attraction to purchasers. Mr. Adkins believes
that featuring the hits in a sheet music store

can he overdone at times. The new annual

NEW MOTHER SONG POPULAR
Bigger-Hand Music Co. Song, "Her Mother Is a
Better Pal Than Mary," Expected to Sell Well
in Christmas Holiday Trade
The song "Her Mother Is a Better Pal Than
Mary," which has had more than the usual
recognition during the past few weeks, is now
being received by dance enthusiasts as a very
attractive novelty fox-trot.
According to the reports from the sales staff
of the Bigger-Hand Music Co., 99 Nassau street,
New York City, the dealers throughout the coun-
try are gratified with the increasing demand.
H. K. Bauch, of the sales department, predicts a
heavy holiday trade on the number and expects
shortly to be able to announce that the vari-
ous record and roll companies have recorded it.
Two other songs which show activity are
"That's When I'm Pining for You" and "I've
Got the Overall Blues."
The musical show "Irene," after its second
year, is still playing in New York and there are
at least five road shows now touring the coun-
try. In addition, it is a London success, and
it is said there are several shows playing
provinces in England. Australia, too, has
an "Irene" show, and now comes the re-
port that "Irene" is being translated into
Swedish for production in the Scandinavian
countries, and a French production is planned
for the near future. Joseph McCarthy and Harry
