Portland, Ore., Dealers Report Strong Demand
for Sheet Music—Future Looks Bright
PORTLAND, OKE., June 10.—Sheet music depart-
ments of the music stores in this city report a
good volume of business. Music teachers and
their pupils are preparing for the recitals and
June school entertainments, incident to the clos-
ing of the term.
At the Portland Piano Co.'s sheet music de-
partment, Kathleen Benoit Campbell is featuring
this week "Over the Hill," which is adapted
from the photodrama of. Fox, by the same
name. The new Feist number, "Who, Who,"
and Berlin's "Hortense" are having big sales.
Music stores also report a big demand for
"Moonlight Hours," by Catherine Bernard, of
Portland. Octavia Stone, of McDougall's sheet
music department, said that her stock was en-
tirely sold out and she was compelled to use
the copies that she was using for decorative pur-
poses. This song followed "Come Back and
Drive the Clouds Away," and was produced in
collaboration with E. L. Cooke, a former Chi-
cago musician. It is being featured this week by
the orchestras of the Columbia, Rivoli and
People's theatres. Last week it was featured on
the musical program at the Liberty Theatre.
Louis Mack, sheet music dealer, who has his
store with the Bush & Lane Piano Co. on
Broadway, had large sales during the month of
May. Mr. Mack said that May was slow in
starting, but the business increased as the month
advanced and the last week was exceptional.
"Baby," by Bertrand Brown, is a song that
struck the popular chord in Portland, and there
were many buyers of it.
The McDougall Music Co., which is located
in the heart of the studio district, is doing an
increased business in its sheet music depart-
ment. A complete library of the Wood edition
has been added to the stock.
Portland was visited last week by Al Jolson,
who was here for a three days' stand, and as a
result the demand for Jolson's hits was exceed-
ingly good. The Remick Song Shop is the
headquarters of Jolson's songs and they were
featuring "Always," which had a big run. This
hit was also featured by Henri Keates, organist
of the Liberty Theatre, in conjunction with
slides, and Cecil Teague, organist of the Majes-
tic Theatre, played Jolson songs, just as Jolson
