JENKINS HITSJN DEMAND
Very Active Season Reported by Publishing Divi-
sion of Kansas City Firm
KANSAS CITY, MO., March 25.—The publishing
division of the sheet music department of the
J. W. Jenkins' Sons Music Co. never had a more
active season than the present. The professional
department is receiving many requests from
vaudeville singers who are using Jenkins' songs
in their programs and practically every recog-
nized dance orchestra in the country is playing
such numbers as "Lonesome Mamma Blues" and
"Suppose the Rose Were You." Other active
numbers are "Dangerous Blues," "Manila Mem-
ories," "Kiss Me, Dear" and "Lullaby Moon," to
mention a few of the leaders.
The Spring campaign recently inaugurated by
the publisher on the above numbers is the most
elaborate ever arranged by that organization and
covers every angle of musical activity in the en-
tire country.

A recent announcement was made by G. Schir-
mer, Inc., that J. L. Dilworth, late of the firm of
Huntzinger & Dilworth, had joined its staff.
Mr. Dilworth is one of the best known and in-
formed men in the music business. His career
dates back from 1900, when he joined the house
of Schirmer, then situated at 35 Union Square.
For a number of years he supervised the octavo,
choral and organ music departments, following
which in 1909 he was transferred to special work
in the publicity department. In 1912 he became
manager of Schirmer's retail department, from
which position he eventually resigned to assume
charge of the educational music department of
the New York office of the John Church Co.
In 1915 he was one of the organizers of the
firm of Huntzinger & Dilworth, and to his ener-
getic work much of the success and excellent
reputation as publishers of fine songs attained
by that company can be credited.
Mr. Dilworth's duties at Schirmer's directly
embrace the propagation of Schirmer publications
and prestige among the schools, conservatories
and leading educators of the country. His long
experience well fits him for his new duties.

"RAINBOWS" RELEASED
Some
Surprising
Information on That Subject
The Trade Service Bureau of the Music Indus-
tries Chamber of Commerce recently made in-
quiry of a number of dealers regarding the effect
of music roll sales on sheet music sales, if any,
and the results of the inquiry were not only in-
teresting but were, to a large degree, surprising,
inasmuch as the majority of the dealers declared
that music roll sales, made up largely of word
rolls, did not have any effect on sheet music de-
mand. The answers were:
1. Do music roll sales increase sheet music de-
mand? Yes, 22; no, 5; doubtful, 2.
2. Do music roll sales decrease sheet music de-
mand? Yes, 1; no, 23; doubtful, 1.
3. Do music roll sales affect sheet music de-
mand? Yes, 22; no, 5; doubtful, 2.
Out of thirty replies received, the greater share
of the comments emphatically expressed opinions
that music rolls increased sheet music demand; a
number said that each helped the other, and sev-
eral said that phonograph records were a more
positive aid.
