Hans Kronold, 'cellist and composer, died
late last week at his home in New York City.
He was one of the prominent figures of the con-
cert stage, an authority on musical history, and
as a creator of tones for the 'cello had few
equals.
Born in Cracow, Poland, in 1871, he came to
this country in 1886. He began his musical
studies in Leipsic and later under Julius Voll-
rath in Berlin. In this country he studied in
New York under Anton Hekking and S. Vree-
man. He was a member of the symphony or-
chestras in New York and Boston. Under the
direction of Walter Damrosch Mr. Kronold
toured the United States and Canada as a solo-
ist for five years, beginning in 1900.
Mr. Kronold left a widow, who was Rose
Fischel, and whom he married in 1894, and two
daughters, Nora and Sophie Kronold.
The Irving Berlin, Inc., campaign on "Say
It With Music," which is to be featured, par-
ticularly in trade circles, beginning February 11
and ending on February 18, will mark one of
the most intensive sales drives of the present
season.
Plans have been completed whereby several
thousand orchestras will play and hundreds of
vaudeville acts will sing this number during the
week in question. The trade has already signi-
fied its intention of co-operating and some very
unique displays are contemplated. Much special
advertising material has been issued by the
publisher and included in this is an attractive
cut-out for both window and counter use.
THREE REAL, BEAUTIFUL SONGS!
THE VERY LATEST
"DREAM MAN"
Fox Trot Ballad Supreme
The Coming Sensation of 1922
"LOVE ROSE"
"EVERYBODY STEP" POPULAR
Heavy Sale Reported of Number From the
"Music Box Revue"
The success of "Say It With Music," from
Irving Berlin's "Music Box Revue," upon its
release, was so pronounced that it far over-
shadowed all the other musical offerings of
the show. However, one of the numbers that
did not receive such initial favor has in re-
cent weeks jumped into much popularity. This
song and dance, called "Everybody Step," is
having a very h"eavy sale, which, seemingly, is
increasing at a rapid rate.
QUARTERLY DIVIDEND DECLARED
The American Society of Authors, Composers
and Publishers declared a quarterly dividend last
week of royalties collected by the society during
the last quarter of last year.
The amount divided closely approximates
$30,000 to the publishers and an equal amount
to the songwriters.
The Talked-about Waltz Ballad of the Day
George Dole Making Good With Two Recent
Chappell-Harms Releases
George Dale, the young American tenor, who
recently closed a successful tour over the
Strand circuit, has accepted a four weeks' en-
gagement in one of the leading motion picture
houses in St. Johns, Newfoundland, where he
will feature the two new Chappell-Harms, Inc.,
successes, "The World Is Waiting for the Sun-
rise," by Ernest Seitz, and "Smile Through Your
Tears," by Bernard Hamblen.
NEW CHINESE COMEDY NUMBER
Jack Mills, Inc., has accepted for publication
"Chow Mein," a Chinese comedy fox-trot song.
The number will be released immediately and
a special campaign will be conducted to exploit
it. It is understood the leading mechanical com-
panies have already recorded the number.
Sherman Kay & Co.,

TO PUBLISH RUSSIAN NOVELTY
The Edward B. Marks Music Co. will publish
"The Parade of the Wooden Soldiers," a novelty
from "The Russian Bat Theatre," a production
which will shortly be given its New York pre-
miere by F. Ray Comstock and Morris Gest.
