Head of Sherman, Clay & Co. Music Depart-

The new Shubert Summer show for the Win-

of this week. It is named "The Whirl of New

Leo Feist, Inc., is now issuing a monthly
bulletin for dealer use, under the title Feist
News. The initial number, which is now in tiie
hands of the trade, carries matter regarding all
the new Feist songs, as well as all the active
numbers in the catalog. Another feature of the
bulletin is the list of monthly Feist numbers on
records and player rolls, together with the name
of the manufacturer.
In introducing the bulletin, the paper makes
the following comment: "The purpose of this
new form bulletin is to give our dealers up-to-
the-minute information regarding Feist publi-
cations, because we really believe that in doing
so more copies may be sold by you, which, of
course, means greater profit. It shall not be our
intention to exaggerate, but rather to supply you
with definite and truthful data regarding our
various publications with the thought constantly
before us that our purpose is to have you sell
more copies of Feist music and also more rec-
ords and rolls."

attended the recent annual convention of the
National Association of Sheet Music Dealers in
Chicago and later the annual gathering of the

States, held at the Hotel Astor, New York, left
for Boston, Mass., on Friday of last week. Mr.
Little will also visit Philadelphia and several
other large Eastern cities, following which he
will return to the Pacific Coast.
The Sherman, Clay & Co. catalog is showing
much activity despite the approach of what is
generally considered the Summer period. The
company's songs, "Do You Ever Think of Me?",
"I'll Keep on Loving You," "Coral Sea," "My
Wonder Girl," "Idling" and several other num-
bers are having good sales.

medienne who crossed the Atlantic to appear in
"Phoebe of Quality Street," which closed re-

Among the songs sung by Miss Ward in the
above show is Jerome & Schwartz's new suc-
