STEEL USING FOX BALLAD
FEATURE FEIST NUMBERS
Prominent Tenor Singing "Only a Smile" in
Vaudeville Tour
Philadelphia Dealers Exchange Window Dis-
plays on Two Recent Feist Hits
When music publishers issue special material
John Steel, well-known tenor and Victor
artist, former star of the Ziegfeld "Follies," for use in window displays it is usually prepared
opened in an engagement at the Palace Theatre
recently. Mr. Steel, who has been appearing
in vaudeville for the past two months, is proving
a most successful attraction, and it is understood
that he has been booked on the Keith circuit
over a long period.
Among the songs he is singing with success is
a melody ballad, entitled "Only a Smile," written
by J. S. Zamecnik and published by the Sam Fox
Pub. Co., of Cleveland and New York.
The publisher received the following night
letter from John Steel, which speaks for itself:
'" 'Only a Smile' is a winner. Enthusiasm of
the audience is proof of its tremendous appeal.
Believe it will be an immense success and regard
it as logical successor to 'Sunshine of Your
Smile.' Congratulations. I intend singing it
throughout Keith vaudeville tour and may use
it in concert later.—John Steel."
CA1NE HITS VIA RADIO
Dance Numbers From S. C. Caine, Inc., Catalog
to Be Heard Over Radio
Milt Hagen, the exploitation manager for S. C.
Caine, Inc., has made arrangements to demon-
strate the correct method of interpreting dance
tunes from the S. C. Caine, Inc., catalog to va-
rious orchestras throughout the country through
the radio telephone.

Display of "Swanee River Moon"
in such form that it can be shipped from city to
city during the life of the particular campaign,
thus making it possible at times to furnish quite
extensive cut-outs, etc.
It is seldom that two displays of this sort are
APRIL 1, 1922
tion an instance where two displays were alter-
nated over a two-week period.
The case was that of H. A. Weymann & Son,
Inc., of Philadelphia, who had a particularly at-
tractive window display of the Feist song, "Steal-
ing," and the S. S. Kresge store, of that city,
made a feature of the Feist song, "Swanee
River Moon." Following the week's use of these
two special showings the Feist Philadelphia man-
ager had arranged, with the courtesy of the man-
agers of both the music departments in question,
to switch the window material on the succeeding
week and Weymann then displayed "Swanee River
Moon" and the Kresge store made a special
showing of "Stealing."
