THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
A. V. BROADHURST VISITS US
Representative of Enoch & Sons Attends Sheet
Music Conventions in New York
At approximately this time last year Enoch
& Sons opened up an American branch of this
well-known London house. Prior to that time the
catalog of this company was handled by an
hurst did not seem overanxious to express his
opinions, he did on several occasions, at the
earnest solicitation of other members of the
above bodies, express his sentiments on ques-
tions that were before the house.
Mr. Broadhurst left on Saturday of last week,
returning to England. Prior to his departure,
however, he related some of the experiences of
his organization since the advent of its distinct-
ly American branch.
In commenting upon the trend of American
music, he said: "Ballads with a melody evidently
have a very active market in this country. We
have noted during the past two years a disposi-
tion on the part of music lovers to select songs
of high character, as far as lyrics are con-
cerned, and with melodies, which, while popular,
cannot in any sense be classed with ordinary
issues."
Enoch & Sons are the publishers of "I Passed
By Your Window" and "Bridal Dawn," both of
which have had excellent sales. In addition they
publish the well-known "Mountebanks," which
has been popular in quartet form, and other num-
bers of like merit.
NEW CALLAHAN NUMBER
J. Will Callahan, the blind composer, and his
wife are spending the Summer at their home
in Bay View, Mich. Mr. Callahan and his wife
for the past several months have been sojourn-
ing down in Florida in an endeavor to recuper-
ate Mr. Callahan's health. It is said that he has
just finished a new number in collaboration with
Lee S. Roberts and Max Kortlander.
A. V. Broadhurst
American publishing house dealing in the prints
of foreign publishers.
A. V. Broadhurst, of Enoch & Sons, who has
been visiting the American offices of the com-
pany for the past few weeks, attended the
gatherings of the National Association of Sheet
Music Dealers and the Music Publishers' Asso-
ciation of the United States. While Mr. Broad-
CHICAGO OFFICE CLOSED
The Chicago office of Van Alstyne & Curtis
has been closed, and Egbert Van Alstyne, the
well-known songwriter, who is responsible for
such numbers as " 'Till We Meet Again" and
other numbers published by Jerome H. Remick
& Co., has again joined the Remick staff.
JUNE 24,
ACTIVITY IN PORTLAND TRADE
Publicity Through Theatres and Window Dis-
plays Booms Sales of Popular Numbers
PORTLAND, ORE., June 17.—The popular Remick
number, "Bamboo Bay," is being featured in sev-
eral of the prominent moving picture houses of
the city and is being well received,
L. Wolfe Gilbert, of the L. Wolfe Gilbert Music
Corp., of New York, personally featured his "If
You Like Me as I Like You," "On a Moonlight
Night" and "Kentucky Echoes" at the Palace
Hippodrome Theatre, where he appeared last
week.
Three Remick numbers, "When Shall We Meet
Again?", "My Daddy" and "Yoo-Hoo," featured
by Willie and Eugene Howard in a four days'
stand at the Neillig Theatre, are in good demand
as a consequence.
"Smilin' Through" (Witmark) has had a large
run lately, due to an advertising campaign and,
on account of being featured at all of the music
houses and by attractive window displays, has
had just a fair demand here, as it never has been
pushed. The result of the present featuring dem-
onstrates what a little advertising and co-opera-
tion will do for a number.
Kathleen Benoit Campbell, in charge of the
sheet music department of Lipman, Wolfe & Co.,
says that "Rosy Posy," from the "Blushing
Bride," promises to be one of the best sellers.
The first shipment received from Witmark was
soon exhausted.
Among the recent Portland visitors was Frank
Gibney, manager of Witmark's Seattle office
Harvey Orr, the representative of Sherman,
Clay & Co., placed three splendid standard num-
bers with the Portland sheet music dealers. "My
Dearest Prayer" (Tandler), "Enough to Know''
(Clark-Ogden) and "Little Northern Window"
(Anthony Dare). All of these numbers are hav-
ing a good sale.*
"Troubles," a fox-trot, is creating quite a stir
among the Portland buyers of popular numbers.

A bombshell that was not presented at the
meetings of the National Association of Sheet
Music Dealers last week appeared in the form of
a letter of which several of the popular pub-
lishers were recipients from the S. H. Kress &
Co. stores. This syndicate operates one store in
New York City and is quite active in Southern
territory.
The company operates over 100 stores altogeth-
er and declares that it has a lot of dead stock
on hand which it will be unable to dispose of
unless the retail price of the issues is re-
duced.
The letter requests a conference with the pub-
lishers for the purpose of giving consideration to
the return of ten-cent music which, according to
the majority of the popular publishers, is out of
the question.
Neither the legitimate sheet music dealer nor
the publisher of popular prints looks with favor
upon the return of ten-cent music and it is well
that the question was not presented to the Na-
tional Association of Sheet Music Dealers last
week as it would probably have taken several
columns of this paper to report the opinions, de-
nunciations, etc., of the dealers who attended
that gathering.
