NEW PUBLISHERS ORGANIZE
Louis Cohn to Be Active Factor in New Pub-
lishing Concern in New York
Louis Cohn, who for many years was con-
nected with the publishing tirm of Charles K.
Harris and more recently a member of the staff
of Jack Mills, Inc., is the active figure in the
organization of a new publishing firm, whicli
is to operate under the trade name of the Ben
Schwartz Music Co., Inc.
Plans of the new organization are as yet not
complete, but it is understood that it has avail-
able several meritorious works of the popular
type which are to be exploited along some un-
usual lines.
Mr. Cohn's long experience, his wide ac-
quaintance and his many other qualifications
should stand him in good stead in his new en-

FEIST GETS "STEALING"
New York Publisher Buys Song and Instru-
mental Rights of New Number
Sam Fox and Carl Lamont
Fox said: "While in San Francisco I have been
most fortunate in finding just the man to repre-
sent our house on the Western Coast. Mr.
Lamont comes highly recommended and, with
his many years' experience in all branches of the
music business, as well as the profession, he will
prove a valuable addition to our organization.
He not only knows the various angles necessary
for the exploitation of sheet music, but his experi-
ence as a musical director, which includes ar-
rangements for such pictures as 'Way Down
East,' 'Intolerance,' Griffith pictures, etc., gives
him exceptional knowledge of what appeals to the
public."
Mr. Lamont's territory will consist of the
entire Pacific Coast and all points west of Salt
Lake City. He will make his headquarters in
San Francisco, where the Sam Fox Pub. Co. will
open a branch office in a short time.
