A. V. BROADHURST ON A VISIT
TWO NEW ROMBERG PRODUCTIONS
NEW SONGS BY STRAIGHT AND BARGY
Head of Enoch & Sons, of London and Paris,
Spending Some Time at New York Office
"Blossom Time" and "Bal Tabarin" to Be Pre-
sented by Shuberts in the Fall
Prominent Music Roll Recorders Again Appear
in Role of Popular Song Writers
A, V. Broadhurst, head of Enoch & Sons, of
London and Paris, who has been spending sev-
eral weeks at the New York offices of the com-
pany, is booked for return passage early in
June.
Owing to the dearth of accommodations it was
necessary for Mr. Broadhurst to book his re-
turn prior to his departure from the other side,
and this, of course, somewhat conflicts with the
program he would like to arrange for his stay
in this country.
In a recent chat with The Review Mr. Broad-
hurst stated that he was very sorry that he would
not be able to attend the coming convention
of the National Association of Sheet Music
Dealers. He will, however, visit Chicago in the
meantime.
Sigmund Romberg, composer of "Maytime,"
"Love Bird" and other musical shows, will have
his "Blossom Time," founded on the melodies
of Franz Schubert, and a new piece, "Bal
Tabarin," produced by the Shuberts early this
Fall. The music of the former will be pub-
lished by Leo Feist, Inc., by special arrange-
ment with M. Witmark & Sons, and the latter
firm will publish the music for "Bal Tabarin."
Charley Straight and Roy Bargy have again
come to the fore as popular song writers with
two new songs entitled "It Must Be Someone
Like You" and "June Moon." The former song
is published by the McKinley Music Co., Chi-
cago, and the latter by the Broadway Music
Corp., New York. Both numbers have been
recorded by the Victor Talking Machine Co. and
will shortly be released in music roll and record
form by other companies.
Messrs. Straight and Bargy stand high among
the popular pianists of the day and have reputa-
tions that extend from coast to coast through
the fact that both record exclusively for the
Imperial player rolls.
GOOD PUBLICITY FOR "CHERIE"
Leo Feist, Inc., has forwarded to the trade
some specially arranged advertising material for
consumer's use on its new success, "Cherie,"
the cover of which carries a reproduction of the
title page of "Cherie," with a thematic of the
chorus running across the following two pages.
On the back cover is a list of all the active num-
bers of this season's Feist catalog.
ISHAM JONES USING "KARMA'
Isham Jones and his famous orchestra, now
playing at the Marigold Gardens, Chicago, is
featuring with success the Riviera Music Co.'s
new Egyptian fox-trot, "Karma." "Karma" is
also proving successful as a song. It is the work
of Ethwell Hanson, the writer of "Desert Land"
and "Sweet Southern Dream,"
Handy Bros., of New York, will shortly pub-
lish a new song, entitled "Aunt Hagar's Chil-
dren," the work of W. C. Handy, of "Memphis
Blues" fame.
MUSIC SCHOLARSHIPS GIVEN
The American Committee of the Fontainebleau
School of Music, an outgrowth of wartime effort
overseas, recently announced in New York City
its award of nine scholarships to music students
from Manhattan and seven from other parts of
the State. Altogether they comprise the largest
representation among 250 chosen from the coun-
try at large. The students will go to France
this Summer and be housed in the Palace of
Fontainebleau, donated by the French govern-
ment.
ISSUES TWO NEW NUMBERS
PHILADELPHIA, PA., May 23.—The United Music
Stores Co. has just put out two new numbers
which it is featuring, entitled "Prayers" and
''American Legion Buddies," which it has also
gotten out on the rolls. Both have proved very
large sellers. Among the visitors to the United's
offices the past week were Harold Stauf, of Irv-
ing Berlin, Inc., and Oscar Dahoff, of the Inter-
national Music Roll Co.
FEATURING "NIGHT OF LOVE"
Alex. Worth, sales manager of Fred Heltman
Co., 414 Prospect avenue, Cleveland, O., has
just inaugurated an exploitation campaign on a
new number, published by his firm, entitled
"Night of Love." The Kresge store, No. 28, of
Cleveland, recently ordered 5,000 copies of this
number, following its initial presentation to the
public. The Fred Heltman Co. also publishes
the songs "Thinking of You" and "House o'
Dreams."

Hit—Lures Houses to Seek Its Distribution
