New Sheet Music Counter Display Stand Furnished by Sam Fox Co.
Fox "Library Edition." This edition is issued
witli elaborate and artistic title pages and when
presented to the public through the "Silent Sales-
man" proves an effective sales creator.
This product can be displayed on the counter
or in a conspicuous position in other parts of
the store. It is constructed of all steel, finished
in baked black enamel. The wings open as a
book, permitting a full view of the title pages.
A tray lor advertising matter fits on the lower
rear supports, making the literature available and
at the same time economizing space. There are
six wings divided at the top that allow for twelve
different titles, holding ten copies of each. The
trade is receiving this new product with favor.

musical successes playing Broadway. A coin-
cidence is the fact that in all of these works
the letter "B" is conspicuous. "Blossom Time"
is at the Ambassador, "Bombo" at Al Jolson's
Fifty-ninth street Theatre, and now "The Blush-
ing Bride" at the Astor Theatre.
The latter is his most recent offering and both
the press and public seemingly are unanimous in
conceding high praise to the music in this show.
Among the songs that bear indications of being
unusually successful are "Rosie-Posie," "Just a
Regular Girl," "Springtime Is the Time for
Loving," "Good-by," "Love's Highway" an:l
"Bad Little Boy and Good Little Girl." M.
Witmark & Sons are the publishers of the abo»e

PUBLISHERSJ1OLD MEETING
First Gathering of National Body Held Last
Week—Nominating Committee Appointed—
Flammer Outlines Plan for Intensive Featur-
ing of Numbers in Movie Houses
The first meeting of the new year of the
Music Publishers' Association of the United
States was held on Tuesday evening of last
week at the Hotel Astor.
Following the usual routine association mat-
ters a nominating committee was appointed to
propose officers who are to be elected at the
coming convention in June. The committee
was composed of W. L. Cogliill, M. E. Tomp-
kins and J. T. Roach.
In response to an invitation for the Associa-
tion to participate in New York's next Music
Week the matter was laid on the table for
future consideration.
Subscriptions to the Music Industries Cham-
ber of Commerce are being met promptly and
the committee in charge of this matter reported
progress.
A short talk was made by Harold Flammer,
head of Harold Flammer, Inc., in which he out-
lined a plan which would do much toward edu-
cating the public as to the titles of musical num-
bers played in motion picture houses. He
urged the Association to take steps toward this
end and stated that this could readily be done
through announcements on the screen and in
the programs. Mr. Flammer also suggested
that a member of the Association address the
next convention of the National Association of
Alusic Merchants, for the purpose of pointing
out the advantages of a sheet music department.
The president appointed W. L. Coghill to make
such an address.
It was proposed that a questionnaire be ar-
ranged and forwarded to the dealers throughout
the country, the results of which to be made
part of the program of the coming convention,
to be held in June. A committee composed of
Harold Flammer, J. T. Roach and Thomas Don-
Ian was named for the purpose of arranging the
subjects to be embodied in the questionnaire.
