"Somewhere in Naples" Receiving Much Pub-
licity in San Francisco
Sales Manager for Irving Berlin, Inc., Reports
Good Demand in the West
It certainly is unusual for a theatre to display
the title of a song in electric lights on its mar-
quise, either a house of drama or a motion pic-
ture house. It is more unusual for two theatres
in a single town, in a given week, to display the
name of a song in electric lights on their fronts,
but this is what happened in San Francisco re-
cently when the Strand and California theatres
displayed the title, "Somewhere in Naples"
(Sam Fox Pub. Co.), in that effective and ad-
vantageous manner. Of course, the number was
also programmed and the orchestras, wherever
possible, during the week in question used it as
a theme of the music of the whole show.
"Somewhere in Naples" is. one of the most
successful of any of the popular songs Sam Fox
has ever published. It is, however, of the bet-
ter-class issues. At present the publisher is
carrying on a national publicity campaign in its
behalf and this is being given the co-operation
of professional singers, orchestras and the deal-
ers, an instance of which is cited above.
Robert Crawford, sales manager for Irving
Berlin, Inc., returned to his desk on Saturday
after two weeks spent in the Middle West. Mr.
Crawford completed plans in that territory for
the Spring campaign on the Irving Berlin catalog.
He found- the demand on the new Irving Ber-
lin, Inc., number, "You Can Have Every Little
Light on Broadway" (Give Me One Little Light
at Home), to be on the upward trend and the
song is giving indications of being one of the
big ballads of the Spring season. "Granny,"
"Poor Little Me" and "Just a Little Love Song"
are still the leaders in the Berlin catalog in the
territory mentioned.
The Triangle Music Pub. Co. has inaugurated
a new method of giving service to the purchaser
of sheet music and one that will, without doubt,
do much to stimulate sales. The company has
just released a new fox-trot ballad, entitled
"Thrills," and it is already having good suc-
cess. In conjunction with the piano copies of
the number the Triangle Co. has inserted a spe-
cially arranged part with melody and obbligato
for both the "C" melody and "E Flat" alto saxo-.
phones. These parts were devised and arranged
by Rudy Wiedoeft, the well-known saxophonist.
It is estimated that there are over 300,000
saxophones in use in this country. The manu-
facturers of such instruments have never been
able to supply the demand that was created fol-
lowing the war. Therefore, the number of saxo-
phone players is constantly being added to.
The insertion of these new parts in the piano
copies of popular music gives to the saxophone
player the current hit in a form by which it can
be readily played. If this new idea proves a suc-
cess, which it undoubtedly will, other publish-
ing houses probably will give the idea considera-
tion.
SOUSA CONDUCTS CONCERT
Silver Anniversary of "Stars and Stripes For-
ever" Fittingly Observed

and Stripes Forever."

NEW PAULL BALLAD
Irish Ballad of the Better Class Issued by E. T.
Paull Music Co.
The E. T. Paull Music Co. has just released a
pretty little Irish ballad, entitled "Sweet Molly
Asthore," the music of which is by Herbert
Ralph Ward and the words by William Harold
Martin.
The song is of the type of the better-class
ballads and is being featured by such well-
known artists as Katherine Gray, soloist with the
Philadelphia Band; Claire Brookhurst and
Peggy O'Neil.
The number has an appealing melody and
should find much favor in home circles. It is
easy to play and is readily sung.
NOLL ISSUES NEW ONE-STEP
William C. Noll, music publisher, of 308 Lenox
avenue, New York City, is the publisher of a
new one-step, entitled "Good Stuff." He is re-
ceiving many letters from orchestra leaders
throughout the country commenting favorably
upon the number.
Jerome H. Remick, head of the concern that
bears his name, was a recent visitor at the New
York offices of the company.

"ONE FLEET1NGJOUR" HEARD
Used as Solo at Rivoli Theatre, New Y o r k -
Popularity Continues to Increase
In "One Fleeting Hour" by Dorothy Lee,
there is a conspicuous example of the staying
power of a good song. Although first published
several years ago, this song still remains a great
favorite with concert artists; in fact, its popular-
ity seems to be constantly on the increase.
"One Fleeting Hour" was the solo offering at
the Rivoli Theatre recently. Miss Susan Ida
Clough was the soloist. Miss Clough has a
mezzo-soprano voice of exceptional quality and
her rendering of the song was enthusiastically
received by the audiences.
The stage setting was artistic and appropriate,
a= might be expected in this splendid theatre.
The act provided a delightful contrast to the
stirring picture, "Her Husband's Trade-mark,"
which it accompanied.
