LEO FEIST WINS SUCCESS WITH PRODUCTION NUMBERS
Prominent New York Publishing Firm Has Achieved Great Prominence Because of the Large
Number of Musical Comedy Hits Which It Has Published During the Past Three Years
, During the past three years Leo Feist, Inc.,
has made remarkable progress as a publisher of
musical comedy music. The success of the
"Irene" show, not to mention several others of
minor importance, gave it a prominent position
in the ranks of publishers of production music.
"Irene" played for two years in New York, fol-
lowing which, for two seasons, four road shows
toured the country.
This season the number of such productions in
which Feist has had an interest has been added
to considerably. "Tangerine," the Carl Carleton
production, now playing at the Casino Theatre,
New York, is among the most important of
these. It opened early in August and from every
indication will play well into the Spring. Among.
the song numbers in this show are: "Sweet
Lady," "Isle of Tangerine" and "Listen to Me."
Probably even a more important production

from a strictly musical standpoint is "Blossom
Time," based on Franz Schubert's opera, the
theme song of which is called "The Song of
Love," from one of Schubert's unfinished sym-
phonies. More recently there opened at the
Princess Theatre, New York, a production en-
titled "Suzette," the principal song numbers of
which are "Gypsy Rose" and "Dreams of
To-morrow," and on or about Christmas the
new Oliver Morosco production, "Let 'Er Go,
Letty," in which Charlotte Greenwood is fea-
tured, will have its New York premiere.
Earlier in the season Feist published much of
the music for the "Broadway Whirl," in which
Richard Carle and Blanche Ring headed the cast.
Joe McCarty and Harry Tierney are responsible
for the songs "Oh, Dearie 1" and "Broadway
Whirl." Other numbers published by Feist in
the same show are: "Black-eyed Susans'!, and
"Caring."
Of more recent date was the opening of the
new Oliver Morosco show, "Love Dreams," in
which the songs "Love Dreams" and "Lone-
some Boy" were the most prominent.
During the Summer season the music for the
"Peek-a-Boo" show, which played at the Co-
lumbia Theatre, New York, was published by
Feist. Since that time the title of this produc-
tion has been changed and it is now called
"Chuckles of 1921." It has also been condensed
into a form in which it can be presented as a
vaudeville attraction. The outstanding songs
are: "Hitch Your Wagon to a Star" and
"Melody Dream Girl."
This season's Ziegfeld "Follies" has several
contributions from the Feist catalog, including
the Fanny Brice success, "My Man," and the
following numbers sung by Van and Schenck,
"Wang Wang Blues," "The Old Town Hall,"
"O'Reilly, I'm Ashamed of You" and "I Hold
Her Hand and She Holds Mine."
In this season's "Greenwich Village Follies"
the following Feist numbers are sung: "Snow-
flake," "When Dreams Come True" and "Three
o'Clock in the Morning."
Although the European sensation, "Afgar,"
in which Alice Delysia is starred, had its big
success on Broadway last season, it is still a very
active attraction in other parts of the country.
"Why Don't You?", the McCarty and Tierney
song, is the most prominent number and this
season there has been added a new number
from the pen of Maurice Yvain, the writer of
"My Man," entitled "I Want Love."
In the popular field this season's biggest suc-
cesses from the Feist catalog were: "Wang
Wang Blues," "Nestle in Your Daddy's Arms,"
"Vamping Rose," "Peggy O'Neil," "I'm No-
body's "IB^ky," "Cherie," "Sweetheart," "One
Kiss," "Three o'Clock in the Morning," the
Caruso song, "Dreams of Long Ago," "When
Frances Dances With Me," "Ten Little Fingers
and Ten Little Toes," "Georgia Rose," "Swanee
River Moon," "Mickey O'Neil," "Sally, Irene
and Mary" and "Wabash Blues."
In addition, Leo Feist, Inc., recently pur-
chased from the Orpheum Music Co., of Boston,
Mass., the song and fox-trot success, "Stealing."
Both of the above catalogs place Leo Feist.
Inc., in a prominent position as a popular pub-
lisher and as a publisher of theatrical produc-
tions.
STAR AND FELDMAN UNITE
The London music publishing houses of the
Star Music Co. and B. Feldman & Co. have con-
solidated. For several years there has been a
working agreement between the two houses, but
with the opening of the new Feldman offices in
Shaftesbury avenue the entire staff of the Star
will move over,
Bennett Scott, the composer, is managing
director of the Star Music Co., and will continue
as such in the new organization.
