CHICAGO, I I I . , June 26.—The McKinley Music Co.,
of this city, is to be congratulated on its new
number, "Broken-hearted Blues," which is de-
veloping into a big success throughout the coun-
try. Many laudatory comments on the number
have been received from numerous orchestra
leaders well known in the musical field, and
D. W. Foster, of the McKinley Music Co., pre-
dicts that by mid-Summer it will be one of the
biggest sellers.
The Oriole Terrace Orchestra, the specially
selected orchestra which will make records for
Brunswick exclusively, considers "Broken-hearted
Blues" its best bet and has made a wonderful rec-
ord, which will soon be issued. This orchestra,
under the leadership of Dan Russo, is having a
palatial home built for it in Detroit, called
Oriole Terrace. J. L. Woods, who owns the
Arcadia, Detroit; Arcadia, St. Louis, and Prin-
cess, Cleveland, is building the Oriole Terrace
Dance Hall, which Mr. Wood declares will be
the finest in this country. The Oriole Terrace
Orchestra is at the Edgewater Beach Hotel, this
city, for the Summer.
Tom Brown's Saxophone Sextet is featuring
"Broken-hearted Blues" in an eight weeks' en-
gagement at the Riviera, Chicago; Tivoli and
Central Park Theatres. Benson's famous orches-
tra, led by Roy Bargy, is specializing on this
"blues" and will take it to Atlantic City for a
Summer engagement soon. Paul Biese has re-
corded it for the Columbia and is playing it at
every performance. Every cabaret and theatre in
Chicago is successfully featuring this great
"blues." The Edison record by Al Bernard will
be released July 1.
The Sax-O-Tette, a big-time act with European
contracts, is starting East from Los Angeles
with this number as a feature.
In New York the Memphis Five have made
"Broken-hearted Blues" their leading number and
it is being featured at the Pennsylvania Hotel,
Strand Roof, Balconnades, Orange Grove and
dozens of other leading amusement centers in and
around New York. Dave Ringle, writer of
"Wabash Blues," is responsible for the lyric of
"Broken-hearted Blues," while Roy Bargy and
Henri Klickmann, composer of "Sweet Hawaiian
Moonlight," wrote the music.
SAMMY SMITH ON LONG TRADE TRIP
Sammy Smith, professional manager for the
Edward B. Marks Music Co., left late last week
on a trade trip covering Atlantic City, Philadel-
phia, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Detroit and Chicago.
He will make a special campaign on the leading
numbers of the above firm's catalog, which in-
clude: "No Use Crying," "Little Red School-
bouse," "Parade of the Wooden Soldiers," "Lone-
some" and "Eddie Leonard Blues."
CHICAGO, I I I . , June 26.—Will Rossiter announces
that the big-time hit, "Some of These Days," is
to be revived with a new arrangement and placed
on sale all over the country. It has practically
been decided that Sophie Tucker will introduce
the new arrangement of this song upon her
return from her present European tour.
Incidentally, we might mention, in passing, that
the two big present Rossiter numbers, "Those
Longing-for-you Blues" and "In Bluebird Land,"
are selling in a most satisfactory way in Chicago.
The Six Brown Brothers have been featuring
"In Bluebird Land" at all Ballaban & Katz thea-
tres and will return to Chicago next week. Will
Rossiter has a man now in New York plugging
on "Those Longing-for-you Blues." It is already
out on a number of records and bids fair to he a
remarkable success.
RIVIERA OFFICIALS ARRESTED
Postal Inspector Charges J. A. Tenney and Miss
M. W. Furry With Illegal Use of Mails
CHICAGO, I I I . , June 26.—John A. Tenney and
Miss Merta W. Furry, who are alleged to have
made $400,000 in three years by means of a
fake music publishing scheme, were arrested last
week by Postal Inspector Frank M. Davis on a
charge of using the mails to defraud.
They are officials of the Chester Music Co., 920
Michigan avenue; the Riviera Music Co., in the
Chateau Theatre Building, and the Seton Music
Pub. Co., according to Inspector Davis. They
are said to have advertised that for $55 they
would put to music any verse sent to them and
guarantee to have the music printed and placed on
sale.
MUCH MUSIC GOES UP IN SMOKE
Entire Library of New York Police Band De-
stroyed Recently in Armory Fire
New York Police Band music, some of it dat-
ing back twenty years and impossible to replace,
valued at between $5,000 and $10,000, was al-
most completely destroyed last week by a fire
of unknown origin in a corner of the drill hall
on the fourth floor of the Seventh Regiment
Armory, extending from Sixty-sixth to Sixty-
seventh streets and fronting on Park avenue.
The music, which included some of the
old favorite songs, such as "When You and I
Were Young, Maggie," and Harrigan and Hart
hits, was kept in a large oak cabinet in the corner
of the hall. It was believed the fire started in
the cabinet, which was almost completely de-
stroyed, the flames commun'cating to the walls.
Musical instruments, a number of gold and
silver loving cups and other treasures in the cab-
inet were burned or melted in the fire.
TORONTO, CAN., June 26.—Gordon V. Thompson,
Canadian manager of the Leo Feist Co., this city,
has been very ill the last two or three months,
with a complication of troubles. Mr. Thomp-
son's personality, good-fellowship and general
likableness has endeared him to the trade and
everybody will be very glad when he is able
to be back at his desk.
The moving picture, "Smilin' Through," is
playing at the Allen Theatre, and those sheet
music dealers who have hooked up with this
picture have been selling a satisfactory quan-
tity of the song of that name published by M.
Witmark & Sons.
WILL HONOR CARUSO'S MEMORY
M. J. Mintz, president of the Cameo Music
Pub. Co., announces that through an arrange-
ment with Jack Loeb, manager of the William
Fox Theatres, Catherine A. Borland's "The Voice
From Calvary" will be featured in all the Fox
theatres on the first anniversary of Caruso's
death, August 2.
W. H. PEATE IS RECOVERING
W. H. Peate, of Peate's Music House, Utica,
N. Y., has been confined to his home for the past
few weeks. The latest reports say that Mr. Peate
is on the road to recovery.
