"My Mammy," "Rosie" and "Home Again
Blues" the Features of Irving Berlin Catalog
Since the addition of the songs "My Mammy,"
"Rosie" (Make It Rosy for Me) and "Home
Again Blues" the sales of the Irving Berlin
catalog have increased to such proportions as
to try the shipping facilities of the company.
Robert Crawford, sales manager of the or-
ganization, recently received in a Monday morn-
ing's mail sufficient orders to compare most
favorably with the average normal week's busi-
ness. All of these songs are receiving extensive
publicity in both trade and professional fields,
and many of the talking machine record and
player roll organizations are making special
features of these numbers.
C. C. Church, of C. C. Church & Co., Hart-
ford, Conn., recently received the following
poem from Ecker's Orchestra, 125 South Main
street, Gloversville, N. Y., which we think is
worth reproducing:
From all the ills of nineteen-twenty,
Deliver us! We've had a plenty.
From bills and bombs and malcontents,
From politics and lofty rents,
From reckless fools in speeding cars.
From skirts that aim to reach the stars,
From backless gowns and padded ears,
From taxes, strikes and profiteers,
From oil stock and wood alcohol,
And home-brew, saddest thing of all.
From ouija-boards, and all that stuff,
Deliver us—we've had enough!
By an act of the last Legislature of the State
of Kentucky a commission was appointed by
Gov. Morrow for the purpose of providing ways
and means to preserve for the Commonwealth
the famous country place known as "Federal
Hill." There Stephen C. Foster wrote "My Old
Kentucky Home" and "Massa's in the Cold, Cold
Ground."
"STRUT, MISS LIZZIE," ON RECORDS
ROBERT CRAWFORD IN THE WEST
"Strut, Miss Lizzie," a new fox-trot song
by Creamer and Layton, published by Jack Mills,
Inc., although only recently released, has been
booked for early recording on seven of the
leading talking machine records and player rolls.
"Mazie," another fox-trot published by the same
company, is also showing up to good advantage.
Robert Crawford, sales manager of Irving
Berlin, Inc., left late this week on a trip cover-
ing Middle West territory. He will be away
about ten days and will make stops at Pitts-
burgh, Chicago, Detroit and other large cities.
Frank E. Kneeland, traveling representative
of Harold Flammer, Inc., New York, left early
this week on a trade trip including all the large
centers in the New England States.
