'LEGION OF VICTORY" POPULAR
Sam Fox Co. Number Being Featured in Spec-
tacular Production
The Riviera Music Co., Chicago, 111., has com-
pleted arrangements to accept Canadian remit-
tances at par, and commenting upon this step
John A. Tenney, president of the above com-
pany, said:
"We decided upon this step not only to in-
crease our sales in Canadian territory, but we
feel the accepting of Canadian remittances at
par will considerably strengthen the Riviera
Music Co.'s prestige with our Canadian friends.
Heretofore the rate of exchange has had a derog-
atory effect upon business from Canada, and
under the present arrangement our Northern
neighbors will be saved the 15 per cent exchange
rate."
New Paull March Accepted by Many American
Legion Bands in All Sections
"Na-Jo," the Indian fox-trot, published by Sam
Fox Publishing Co. of New York and Cleve-
land, O., has been added to the program of the
Comstock-Gest elaborate production of "Aphro-
dite."
"Na-Jo" (pronounced Na-Hoe) is featured as
an entr'acte during the intermission between the
first and second acts, and is receiving enthusi-
astic applause at every performance. "Aphro-
dite" is now playing at the Boston Opera House,
Boston, and from there will make a trans-con-
tinental tour, playing all the principal cities in
the United States and Canada.
"Na-Jo" is the collaborative work of George
G'Neil, to whom the lyrics are credited, and
Kudy Wiedoeft and Walter Holliday, who have
composed the melody.
William Purdy, of the Sherman, Clay & Co.
sheet music publishing department, has returned
from a 2,000-inile trip up and down the Pacific
Coast exploiting "I'll Keep on Loving You."
That number is almost as popular as the big hit

TO ARBITRATE ON "AVALON'
It is now planned to appoint a committee
composed of Augustus Thomas, playwright,
Victor Herbert, the composer, and E. C. Mills,
chairman of the board of directors of the Mu-
sic Publishers' Association, to act as an arbi-
tration committee in the infringement proceed-
ings involved in the suit of G. Ricordi & Co.,
against Jerome H. Remick & Co., wherein it
was alleged the song hit "Avalon" is an in-
fringement on an aria from "La Tosca."

E. T. Paull, of the E. T. Paull Music Co., re-
cently said that his new march, "Legion of Vic-
tory," had seemingly met with universal ap-
proval if the returns, both from the trade and
orchestra field, are any indication. Practically
every American Legion band is featuring this
new work and the various Posts are showing
unusual interest in this musical offering dedi-
cated to their organization. The dealers
throughout the country have felt this interest in
a sales way and many of these are either giving
it window display or placing it in a conspicuous
position on their counters, thereby giving it ad-
ditional publicity.
