THE FORSTER CONSOLIDATION
NEW PUBLISHING FIRM
NEW HIGH=CLASS NUMBER
Forster Music Co. and Forster, Music Publisher,
Inc., Consolidated for Greater Efficiency
L. B. Curtis, Music Publisher, Succeeds Firm
of Van Alstyne & Curtis
"The Phantom Legions" Announced by Chap-
pell-Harms, Inc., as Ready for Distribution
CmcAGo, III., October 7.—The F. J. A. Forster
Music Co., doing business since 1903 as jobbers
in sheet music, and Forster, Music Publisher,
Inc., organized in 1916, publishers of the same,
both of Chicago, have consolidated with a cap-
italization of $250,000, fully paid, and will be
conducted at 235 South Wabash avenue. The
stock in both concerns is owned by F. J. A.
Forster, who will henceforth be in a position
to directly supervise the executives of these con-
cerns and so assure even better service.
The combined business per annum has been
something over a million and a half and the
steady growth has made two establishments
rather unwieldy. Additional space to the extent
of five thousand square feet being made avail-
able, the equipment improved and the personnel
placed more comfortably in contact with one
another, a very high degree of efficiency will be
found possible.
F. J. A. Forster will now have his entire
forces where daily association can keep him in
touch with them. With these advanced facili-
ties and the increased capital a new era opens
for the Forster Co.
The music publishing firm of Van Alstyne &
Curtis, whose executive offices are at 1658
Broadway, New York City, has been reorgan-
ized and will now be known as L. B. Curtis,
Music Publisher. Loyal Curtis, who was in
charge of the business management of the
former company and who has written a num-
ber of successful songs, will head the new or-
ganization.
The company has opened up a Fall cam-
paign on several numbers in its catalog, par-
ticularly a new addition entitled "Just One More
Dance." This number is being sung nightly by
Brooke Johns at "The Tent," one of the more
exclusive midnight clubs of New York.
Chappell-Harms, Inc., has placed in the hands
of the trade a new work entitled "The Phantom
Legions," by Gordon Johnstone and Ward-
Stephens, the writers of "Christ in Flanders."
Although the song has been issued for a very
short time it has been received with favor by
many representative musicians throughout the
country, many of whom are under the impres-
sion that the writers have excelled their previ-
ous best efforts.
NEW FEJST BALLAD
Number by Gus Kahn and Jesse Crawford to
Be Strongly Featured
Leo Feist, Inc., has just issued a new song
entitled "In a Corner of the World All Our
Own." The words are by Gus Kahn and the
music by Jesse Crawford. This ballad is being
featured in Ballaban & Katz's Chicago theatre,
the largest motion picture house in the world.
It is a ballad that will be one of the features
of the activities during the early Fall by the
professional department of the publisher.

FEATURING "HUMAN HEARTS"
Leo Feist, Inc., Conducting Special Campaign
in Canadian Territory on New Fox-trot
Leo Feist, Inc., has arranged a special ad-
vertising campaign through its Canadian office
on its latest fox-trot ballad, "Human Hearts,"
written by Milt Hagen and Victor Nurnberg,
with special arrangement by Paul Speciit.
Feist will furnish singers who will travel
with the Universal photoplay, "Human Hearts,"
and will render the song wherever the picture
is exhibited in the Dominion.
AL JOLSON SINGING "ANGEL CHILD"
When "Bombo" opened in Chicago the other
day one of the successes the piece registered
was "Angel Child," sung inimitably by the still
more inimitable Al Jolson. This Witmark song,
written by the same writers as that other Wit-
mark success, "Say It While Dancing," is prov-
ing an unusually long-lived favorite.
