NEW CENTURY EDITION CAMPAIGN
FOR BETTER MUSIC IN THE MOVIES
Eight Leading Magazines Will Carry Century
Advertising During Coming Months
Association of Musical and Motion Picture Man-
agers to Hold Important Convention in New
York Next Month to Study Music Situation
The Century Music Co. has just closed with
eight of the leading national magazines for the
insertion of Century Edition advertisements
during the early months of 1921, the magazines
including Good Housekeeping, Delineator, Pic-
torial Review, Woman's Home Companion,
Mother's Magazine, Musical Courier, Red Book
and McClure's. The copy has been changed
and has, been arranged for the purpose of at-
tracting more attention and creating a wider
appeal, if possible, to Century publications. .
The Century service department will, as usual,
place in ' the dealers' hands attractive display
titles, window trims, cuts for local papers and
other dealer helps. The size of the Century
space in the magazines shows an increase over
that of previous years.
The Association of Musical and Motion Pic-
ture Managers will convene in New York over
a three-day period, commencing January 24, for
the purpose of "Securing the best in music and
applying it nationally throughout the United
States in conjunction with picture theatres and
with a further object of inaugurating a booking
office for the purpose of supplying artists with
engagements in many such theatres of the coun-
try, thus protecting the mutual interests of those
concerned."
The organization is sponsored by Charles D.
Isaacson, editor of the music department of the
New York Globe, who has long been a pioneer
in progressive musical activities.
Other objects of the organization will be for
the purpose of "denning the value of music as a
national institution in its application to pictures

and bringing it up to a higher standard." The
headquarters will be at the Hotel Astor and the
meetings are scheduled to take place in both the
Capitol and Rialto theatres on alternate days of
the week.
According to Mr. Isaacson, much interest has
been manifested in the movement and a re-,
sponse has been received from over one hundred
representative exhibitors of the country who
have signified their intention of attending.
These interested parties include the heads of the
largest chain theatres extending from coast to
coast.
Prominent figures in American music are to
attend the gatherings and these will include
Henry Hadley, the composer; Artur Bodanzky,
of the Metropolitan Opera House, and Paul
Eisler, his assistant. Others who are scheduled
to take an active part in the discussions are Carl
Joseph Brail, Hugo Reisenfeld and S. L.
Rothafel.
E. C. Mills, chairman of the board of direc-
tors of the Music Publishers' Protective Asso-
ciation, has been invited to address the gather-
ings and has accepted.

of the metropolitan theatres last week sang
"Avalon," " J a P a n e s e Sandman," "La Veeda" and
"Nobody to Love."
