INTRODUCE THE "WORKING SQUAD"
Riviera Music Co. Puts Into Effect a New Plan
for Popularizing Songs
The Riviera Music Co., of Chicago, recently
put into operation a new plan known as the
"working squad," composed of three singers and
a pianist, who are covering the large cities in
the Middle West. They are especially program-
ing "Rose of China," "La Brenda" and a new
fox-trot, "Sweet Southern Dream," and "Desert
Land."
The new Riviera number, "Karma," described
as an Egyptian fox-trot, is now being' featured
in Chicago territory by Valde, the Spanish
dancer.

"SWEETIE PLEASED
PORTLAND, ORE., May 20.—Last week the Oregon
composers celebrated by a get-together luncheon
at the Benson Hotel and an exhibition of the
works of the Oregon composers in the windows
of the Bush & Lane Piano Co. on Broadway.
The display was arranged by D. O. Byrne, of
the Bush & Lane Co., who has received many
compliments on the artistic layout of the win-
dow.
Fifty-seven of the Oregon composers con-
tributed to the display, which was composed of
both vocal and instrumental selections, many of
which were published here in Portland. Among
the number were several of national note. The
display was made under the auspices of the So-
ciety of Oregon Composers, and of the fifty-
seven contributing to the exhibit fifty-one were
members of the society. The purpose of the ex-
hibit was to stimulate interest in rmusic produc-
tion in Oregon and to show Portland and Ore-
gon just what had been done in music by our
local musicians. The display has been turned
over to the Central library of the city for file
there.
Taylor C. White, manager of the Remick Song
Shop, says that they have had a very big sale
of the humorous song hit, "Ain't We Got Fun?"
They are featuring this week "Just Keep a
Thought for Me" and the new Japanese song,
"Tea Leaves," which, it is believed, is destined
to prove a worthy successor to the "Japanese
Sandman." Both of these songs are having a
big sale.
Kathleen Benoit Campbell, manager of the
sheet music department of the Lipman-Wolfe
store, says "I Lost My Heart to You" and "Call-
ing" are the two new hits of Jack Mills that
are being much called for and are taking well.
Among the other new songs for which there is a
big demand at present are "Maybe" and "Hono-
lulu Eyes."
