ARTHURJ. LAMB'S LATEST EFFORT
Veteran
Songwriter Collaborates With J. S.
Zamecnik in "Romany Love"
It has often been said, particularly in spqrting
circles, that "they never come back" and there
has been some basis for believing that that maxim
applies to the writers of songs, but, while this
may be true in general, there is evidence in sev-
eral instances that a writer's vogue may last at
least twoscore years.
Arthur J. Lamb, who wrote "Asleep in the
Deep," has, from time to time since, contributed
other offerings, though none seems to rival that
number for which he is chiefly known. It is
quite surprising, then, to find his name linked as
collaborator with J. S. Zamecnik in the current
fox-trot and song success, "Romany Love," issued
by the Sam Fox Pub. Co.
Recently was instanced a case or two where
publishers who did not recognize a Summer de-
pression were cashing in heavily on the sale of
songs through their Summer activities. Among
such publishers is the house of Fox, which
operates upon the basis that if you have the goods
of merit and create a demand for them the pub-
lic will buy. An almost overnight recognition of
"Romany Love" seems to prove the contention.
The Grafonola Store, 123 East Main street,
Waterbury, Conn., was recently damaged by fire.

Sheet Music Retailers Giving More Attention to
This Form of Publicity—An Interesting Re-
cent Example in Weymann & Son Store
sheet music of the number (Feist), as well as
player-rolls of the same selection, are all shown,
and of particular importance is the fact that the
display of the merchandise seemingly does not in-
trude upon the setting. In other words, the ball-
room scene, with figures of a boy and girl dancing,
and an artistic clock denoting the hour of 3 a.m.,
attract the attention and arouse the interest. The
