Promises to Be Hit of Season
Gene Dabney's California Orchestra, now fill-
ing an engagement at the Knickerbocker Grill,
New York, has recently come in for much promi-
nence. This orchestra made its original success
under the direction of Flo Ziegfeld, of Ziegfeld
Follies fame, following which it was featured
for five weeks with the Dolly Sisters when it
played at the Palace Theatre, New York. Later
it played for a short time at the Pavilion Royal,
New York. The orchestra is under the direction
ot Gene Dabney, who is not unknown as a com-
poser. The combination is quite accomplished
and can double on various instruments. It in-
cludes Dick Winifree, violinist; Phil Boutelje,
pianist; Con Trager, bass; Joe Dubin, saxo-
phone; Cal Janowitz, banjo and 'cello, and Fred
Green, drums.
G. SCHIRMER, INC., JOINS M. P. P. A.
G. Schirmer, Inc., is one of the latest addi-
tions to the ranks of membership in the Music
Publishers' Protective Association, according to
an announcement of E. C. Mills, chairman of
the board of directors of that body.
E. C. Mills, chairman of the executive board
of the Music Publishers' Protective Association,
is organizing an inter-organization copyright
committee for the purpose of having the com-
mittee take an active interest in all copyright
propositions such as the recent resolution in Con-
gress for the entrance of the United States into
the International Copyright Union and similar
propositions.
Mr. Mills has asked the following organiza-
tions to have one of their members or a repre-
sentative sit in the committee which he is form-
ing: Society of American Dramatists and Com-
posers, American Academy of Arts and Letters,
Authors' League of America, Inc., National As-
sociation of Book Publishers and the American
Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers,
and other such organizations interested in copy-
right matters.
When an important copyright situation arises
it is the intention of Mr. Mills to have his com-
mittee go into the matter thoroughly and if it
merits such they will endorse the bill, and sup-
port it in every way possible.
"Stumbling," Zez Confrey's latest success, pub-
lished by Leo Feist, Inc., is probably the biggest
hit of the present season. It was only released
about five weeks ago and in that short space of
time lias been played by all the leading orchestras
in the country. In some circles it has been
compared to the hit of a recent season, "Dar-
danella," but unlike this latter number, it has
a lyric that is easily sung.
It should, therefore, be one of the biggest suc-
cesses of many seasons, and if the orders coming
from the trade are any indication it will achieve
just that. Dealers are ordering in 500 and 1,000
lots and in several instances these have been re-
peated. This is a particularly important show-
ing at this season.
REDECORATING_LEO FEIST STUDIO
The New York professional department of Leo
Feist, Inc., is undergoing its annual redecora-
tion. The interior, which is one of the most
artistic studios in the country, is redecorated
under the supervision of prominent artists.
