NEW FEIST DANCE FOLIO
Pfou cant go
Iwiongwith
> \ any'Feist'
F. J. A. Forster, Music Publisher, Inc., has
published some of the most successful waltzes
of recent years, including the famous "Missouri"
waltz. Recently Mr. Forster, the head of the
company, found that B. D. Nice & Co., Inc., were
exploiting a waltz song entitled "Moon River,"
by Lee David, and which presented exceptional
possibilities. Mr. Forster, therefore, made up
his mind to acquire the publication.
It is understood, while no figures were given
out, that the transaction involved a large sum,
but it may here be said that Mr. Forster's judg-
ment is seemingly unfailing on waltz numbers.
Mr. Forster announces that he has every con-
fidence in "Moon River" waltz and that he be-
lieves as to melody, construction and lyric it is
unusual.
The professional, publicity and advertising cam-
paigns will be of a most extensive nature, for Mr.
Forster believes that the country is now ready
for a big waltz success.
He is coming to New York within a few days
to personally supervise the plans for the East.
Mr. Forster's association with "Moon River"
waltz and his determination regarding its exploi-
tation make its success assured.

One of the new Jerome H. Remick & Co. songs
that is having a big demand in Portland is "Ohio."
Clyde Freeman can always depend upon the co-
operation of Henri Keates, the organist of the
Liberty Theatre, and they have put this song on
during the week in which "Penrod" was shown
and it was featured at each showing of the film.
