NEW CENTURY EDITION CAMPAIGN
FEATURING JACK MILLS NUMBERS
Miss Maud McCauley Placed in Charge of
Oregon Eilers Department—Popular Sheet
Music in Strong Demand at Present
Reproductions of Advertisements, With Timely
Comments, Sent to Dealers
Florence Timponi Using Four of the Mills
Hits in Her Vaudeville Act
The Century Music Publishing Co. has just
forwarded to the trade a pamphlet in which is
illustrated the series of ads the company is
running in national publications during the
months of January, February and March. The
material accompanying the reproduced adver-
tisements is most optimistic in tone and should
do much to encourage the dealer to go after
business at this time. One very striking point
made in the copy is: "There's only one way—
To get bigger business—Go get it." The Cen-
tury Music Publishing Co. is adding thousands
of dollars to the already extensive advertising
appropriation which it announces is "a chal-
lenge to the pessimists who are lying down in
the belief that business is temporarily dead."
Florence Timponi, the "Sunshine Girl" and
known as one of the cleverest singles in vaude-
ville, is specializing in songs published by Jack
Mills, Inc., New York. Miss Timponi is sing-
ing the new Mills hits "Sweet Mamma" (Papa's
Getting Mad), "Jimnaic" and "On Your Knee."
The "Creole Cocktail" was the first big time
vaudeville act to sing Creamer & Layton's lat-
est fox-trot and song hit, "Strut, Miss Lizzie."
January 21.—Miss Maud Mc-
Cauley, who has been the assistant in the
classical music department of Oregon Eilers
for the past four years, has been placed in
charge of the department. Miss Helen Sonne-
man, who has had charge of the department
for the past seven years, has resigned and gone
to California.
Mrs. Octavio Garrett, in charge of the popu-
lar sheet music department at Eilers, says that
the sales are bigger than ever, and that a num-
ber of Northwest hits are having large sales,
among them being "Come Backward, Drive the
Clouds Away," by Catherine Bernard, of
Spokane, and "Forgivin' Blues," by E. L.
Cooke, also of Spokane. Among the other
popular hits most called for are "Coral Sea,"
"Love Nest," "Nightingale," "Darling," "June"
and "Margie."
In the sheet music department Mrs. Kath-
erine Campbell says they are kept very busy
and that the songs most called for are "Love
Nest," which is a big seller, with "Tripoli" and
"Avalon" crowding for first place. Among the
other songs most largely called for are "Coral
Sea," "Margie" and "Waiting" from "Listen,
Lester." Business is exceptionally good for
the season of the year.
