Paul Whiteman and his orchestra are booked
for a six-week concert tour, which will net White-
man $120,000 for himself and fifteen musicians.
Whiteman has made arrangements with Paul
Salvin, who holds a contract for Whiteman's
services for the Palais Royal, New York. The
restaurant man will give the Whiteman Band a
six-week absolvence.
During Whiteman's absence one of his orches-
tras will replace him at the Palais Royal. At
the present time Whiteman has eleven bands
working in Greater New York, seventeen on
the road and forty bands throughout the country
receiving the Whiteman music service. His
income is over a million dollars annually from
his many activities.
Harry Askin, manager of John Philip Sousa,
is to manage the Whiteman concert tour, ac-
cording to report. The tour will begin next
month.

SHERMAN, CLAYJc CO. NEWS
FEATURING 'mJMAN HEARTS"
DETROIT, MICH., October 16. — Detruitcrs are
being given a treat this week in the presentation
of the musical comedy, "Sue, Dear," at the
New Detroit Opera House. This very delightful
entertainment contains some lilting melodies
from the pen of that capable composer, Frank
H. Grey. Notable among those songs which
seem to have attracted Detroiters were "Smile
and Forget" and "Lovers' Lane With You."
The latter song proved especially attractive as
a duet and ought to be a big seller in record
form. During the Detroit run of the show the
orchestra is under the personal direction of
Mr. Grey.
Ed Little Working Against Fake Publishers-
Several Changes in Personnel
Universal Film Co. Exploiting Song in Con-
nection With Motion Picture of Same Name
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL., October 14.—Ed Little,
manager of the publishing and sheet music de-
partments of Sherman, Clay & Co., is a prime
worker in the Music Publishers' Association,
and is in complete sympathy with the Music
Publishers' Protective Association and the
Music Industries Chamber of Commerce in
freeing the music trade from the fake music
publishers who prey upon young and artless writers
of words for songs. "It is a shame that inex-
perienced people should be robbed, as many of
the writers are being fleeced at present," he
said.
Sherman, Clay & Co. have made some impor-
tant changes in the personnel of the sheet music
department recently. Ford Rush, who used to
be the Jerome H. Remick & Co. representative
here, has gone to Chicago for Mr. Little's de-
partment; Tom Kennedy has gone to Detroit;
Carl Lamo'nt now has charge of the profes-
sional offices in the Pantages Building. These
offices have just been thoroughly renovated.
Herbert Marpel, who used to have charge of
the offices in the Pantages Building, has gone
into the sheet music himself, with Harry Neville.
They now have the sheet music department in
the retail store of the Platt Music Co., Los
Angeles.
In behalf of the song, "Human Hearts," which
is being featured in connection with the motion
picture of the same title, the Universal Film
Mfg. Co. are sending a letter accompanied by
a copy of the song to numerous members of
the trade informing them that they are giving
the song the benefit of all possible exploitation
and publicity of their organization, as well as
co-operating with the vast facilities of Leo
Feist, Inc.
The letter states that two hundred Universal
salesmen from coast to coast are selling the
song together with the picture, and are making
various exploitation suggestions to dealers, etc.
Augmenting the salesmen are twenty-five branch
managers of the Universal who have been in-
structed to plug the song, etc., in their respective
territories. Also thirty special exploitation men
from the Coast are traveling through the coun-
try arranging special advertising stunts, con-
necting the song with the picture.
FEIST SECURES NEW NUMBER
Leo Feist, Inc., has taken over the publishing
rights of "You'll Be Sorry" (You Made Me
Cry).
The number was written by Neville
Fleeson and Albert Von Tilzer.
