Harry A. Yerkes Declares It Was Hit of Talk-
ing Machine Men's Ball
According to a general order sent from the
Keith offices to all Keith, Moss and Proctor
houses, vaudeville artists are, in the future, to
be barred from using current slang phrases in
songs or lines. This will include "That's the
Cai's Meow," "Hot Dog,". "Hot Cat," "Cat's
Pajamas," etc.
There are at present several songs of this type
that have had more or less popularity. The pub-
lishers, of course, only issue such novelties to
meet a demand and they will look with favor
on the restriction of such numbers and assist
in elfrninating them. The publishers, after all,
favor songs of a more permanent character.
Most novelties are issued by their writers at the
special instigation of vaudeville artists, who
claim they require special material. Of course,
after a member of the writing staff has contrib-
uted such works and they attain a certain
amount of popularity, it behooves the publisher
to issue them and cash in on the demand.
This new order will force the vaudeville ar-
tists to sing ballads, melody songs and other
works which will result in worthy numbers get-
ting a better "plug."
During the past season there have been many
vaudeville artists who felt it necessary to have
special material and invariably this is never of
as high a character as the regular works of a
publisher's catalog. If the Keith order is suc-
cessfully carried out it will, in the long run,
mean bigger sales for the publishers. The
trade certainly will welcome it.
HARRIS' "ROYAL BLUE EDITION"
Old Favorites to Be Included in Special Edi-
tion to Be Issued Soon
Charles K. Harris announces that owing to
the demand for his old-time songs, instrumental
pieces, operatic and semi-classic numbers he has
compiled these works and will, in the future,
issue them in a new series, to be known as the
'"Royal I31ue Edition." He will include such
numbers as "After the Ball," "Always in the
Way," "Hello, Central, Give Me Heaven,"
"Break the News to Mother," "I Wonder Who's
Kissing Her Now?" and 150 other works.

November 19.—Clyde Freeman,
manager of the Remick Song and Gift Shop, re-
ports large sales of "Bimini Bay," "Remember
the Rose* 1 and "Why, Dear?" as a result of these
three Remick hits being sung this week to large
Portland audiences in practically every theatre
and dance hall in the city.
As a result of the appearance recently of Fay
Bannister in "East and West," who featured
"Chinese Lullaby," there are numerous calls for
the song, says Kathleen Benoit Campbell, of the
sheet music department of Lipman, Wolfe & Co.
Two Shapiro, Bernstein numbers, "Just Like a
Rainbow" and "Mandy 'N' Me," are very popular
and Marks' "Baby Face" is among the songs
largely called for.
Octavia Stone, in charge of the sheet music
department of the McDougall Music Co., says
that the three new Berlin numbers, "Say It With
Music," "All by Myself" and "Tuck Me to Sleep
in My Old 'Tucky Home," are best sellers at the
present time. Witmark's "The Last Waltz" is
becoming popular and among the semi-classical
numbers called for is the Harms number, "Love
Sends a Little Gift of Roses."
Clyde Freeman, manager of Remick's, says that
the new Dance Folio No. 22 is having a bigger
sale than any similar foHo recently published.
Monty Austin, who sings Remick hits exclu-
sively, spent last week at Portland's Food Show
in the armory and sang for the large crowds
while they were sampling the dainties. He did
this every afternoon and evening and many en-
cores were demanded. The songs he featured
were "Bimini Bay," "Why, Dear?" "Kentucky
Home" and "Remember the Rose."

NEW CADD1OAN AND STORY SONG

One of the most successful numbers played
by orchestras at the grand ball of the Talking
Machine Men, Inc., held at the Hotel Pennsyl-
vania, on November 17, was "Stop! Rest
Awhile!" from the catalog of the L. Wolfe Gil-
bert Music Corp.
Harry A. Yerkes, director of Yerkes' Or-
chestra, which was one of the attractions at the
affair in question, sent the following telegram
to the Gilbert Co. regarding the reception of
the number: "'Stop! Rest Awhile!' was our
biggest feature number at the Talking Machine
Men's dance last night at the Pennsylvania."
