EPSTEIN ORCHESTRA POPULAR
Al Epstein's Orchestra Has Quite a Following
on Long Island
The annual outings of the Greater New York
Music Publishers' and Dealers' Association, as
well as the smaller gatherings of publishers at
Long Island resorts, have in recent years been
Al Epstein's OrchestTa
held in Glenwood Lodge, Glenhead, L. I., and
the orchestra that rendered the music on these
occasions was a source of much entertainment
and satisfaction, and indeed its work has caused
considerable favorable comment. This, coming
from music publishers, speaks well for the ability
of the aggregation to render numbers in a most
advantageous manner.
The orchestra in question is the Epstein So-
ciety Orchestra, which, in addition to entertain-

NewYork
ing at the above resort, plays for numerous
other affairs on Long Island.
Some word regarding the leader of this or-
chestra will, no doubt, be of interest, particu-
larly as the orchestra is composed of young
men. Al Epstein is a graduate of an engineer-
ing college and is now studying dentistry, both
of which, after all, have nothing to do with
music. But it does prove that he is quite versa-
tile.
Prior to the war he played at the Sunset View
Hotel, Fleischman's, New York, and at the
Kittatinny in Delaware Water Gap, followed by
an engagement at Glenwood Lodge.
He was a member of the Engineering Corps
during the war and was the impresario of sev-
eral Red Cross shows.
His musical studies were carried out under
David Mannes, concert master of the New York
Symphony Orchestra and brother-in-law of
Walter Damrosch, who counted on his being a
violinist of note, but the lure of jazz turned
him into a fiddle player, and at that he is quite
a success.
FEATURING JOHNNY BLACK NUMBER
"Who'll Be the Next One?" Being Used by
Long List of Vaudeville Artists
The new Goodman & Rose fox-trot, "Who'll
Be the Next One?" (To Cry Over You), written
by Johnny Black, composer of "Dardanella," is
being featured by a long list of vaudeville ar-
tists, including Jack Osterman, who made it the
feature number in the recent "Friar's All-Star
Jamboree."
Burt Walton now has a specially written act in
which the title of the above song is used as the
name of a novelty sketch.
Other headliners who have sung this num-
ber successfully are: Martha Pryor, Clayton &
Edwards, Bernard & Garry, Mai Klee, The
Three Chums, the Courtney Sisters, Frank War-
ren, Margaret Padula, Ruth Curtis, Allen and
Cantor, Pearce and Wheeler and Charlie Harl
& Co.
The Edward B. Marks Music Co. has taken
over the sole selling agency for "Who'll Be the
Next One?" (To Cry Over You) and it re-
ports that there is a very healthy demand for it.
NEW CHICAGO PUBLISHER
Al Rose Music Pub. Co. Opens Offices and An-
nounces Four Numbers
CHICAGO, I I I . , July 18.—The Al Rose Pub. Co.
is the newest house to break into Chicago's
Rialto and by way of making a bow that no
one in Randolph street can miss presents as its
first offering four numbers, each one of which
bears every sign of success. The music is by
Ray Hibbeler and the lyrics by Al Le Bow.
First is "List'ning," a fox-trot that orchestras
are now using liberally all over town. The sec-
ond is another fox-trot, "You Are the Rose of
My Heart." The third number, "Sunshine," is a
waltz and is meeting with the same success that
has marked the advent of the first two.
"My Chinese Cherry Blossom," said to be the
leader of the quartet, has not yet left the print-
er's hands. Orchestrations made for friends of
the two authors have registered a marked suc-
cess and there is every sign of the printer's
presses doing a long run on this number.
Ray Hibbeler will be remembered as the au-
thor of "You Won My Heart," which Al Jol-
son put over so big, and "There's a Little Spark
of Love Still Burning," which the trade will also
remember as one of the big hits of past years.
The Al Rose Co. is now arranging for space
in the State & Lake Building, which structure
is rapidly becoming the favorite location for the
music publishing profession.
COMPOSES NEW DANCE
T. Heitmuller, pianist with the Meyer Gold-
man Orchestra of Washington, D. C, is the
composer of a new dance melody entitled "Syn-
copation Fever," the lyrics of which have been
contributed by F. L. Baer.
