Lord Byng Welcomed as Governor-General of
Canada With Strains of "Lord Byng, Canada
Welcomes You"—Some Live Feist Numbers
73
TORONTO, O N T , November 5.—The big advertis-
ing guns of Leo Feist, Ltd., Toronto branch,
have been trained on their new song, "Lord
Byng, Canada Welcomes You," written by Jules
Brazil, the popular Toronto entertainer. Quar-
ter-page ads appearing in many of the Canadian
daily papers over the name of the publishers,
and orchestral and band arrangements of the
song sent to the various orchestras and bands
throughout the Dominion, greatly helped to popu-
larize not only the song but the new Governor-
General himself. As Lord Byng stepped off the
ocean liner at Quebec he was greeted with the
strains of "Lord Byng, Canada Welcomes You."
As he proceeded across th« country, and par-
ticularly on the opening day at the Canadian Na-
tional Exhibition—Veterans' Day—he heard
many times the same song of welcome.
Speaking to The Review regarding present-day
Feist hits, Gordon Thomson, Canadian manager
ot Leo Feist, Ltd., Toronto, referred enthusias-
tically to the success which is attending "Peggy
O'Neil," "Nestle in Your Daddy's Arms,"
"Cherie" and "Mon Homme." "We are finding
it difficult to keep 'Peggy O'Neil' in stock," he
said. "Ever since we let it loose on the market
there has been a continuous clamoring for this
waltz success."

Fertile Field for Their Efforts
"Say It With Music," the big success in Irv-

larity in Pacific Coast centers prior to the open-
ing of the show in New York. Several orches-
Song-pluggers in recent weeks have been quite
active in the Greenwich Village section of New
York. Indications are that it is fertile territory
to popularize songs. Recently, at the "Pepper

Particularly Interesting Collection of Modern
Russian Music Just Issued by the Oliver Dit-
son Co., of Boston—Edited by Ernest Newman
The ©liver Ditson Co., Boston, Mass., has just
issued two distinctly important additions to The
Musicians' Library. The two new volumes are
most substantial in size and represent excellent
selections of modern Russian songs, edited by
Ernest Newman, all the selections being alpha-
betically arranged according to composers. The
first volume offers an introduction that really
represents an analysis of Russian music and par-
ticularly of Russian songs. There are in addi-
tion interesting biographies of the various com-
posers in the selections. To the students of
modern music these two new Ditson volumes
should prove almost indispensable.
"Save All Your Love for Me" is the title of a
new song by Norman J. Vause which has been
accepted for publication by Jack Mills, Inc.
