THE
OCTOBER 28, 1922
"HOMESICK" WEEK PLANS COMPLETED
Big
Campaign to Be Conducted Week
November 18 to 25 on Berlin Hit
of
Final plans for the week's campaign for the
Irving Berlin success, "Homesick," which has
been arranged for the week of November 18
to 25, inclusive, have been closed. Much display
advertising material is being shipped to the
trade for the use of sheet music, talking ma-
chine record and player roll dealers. The co-
operation of all the mechanical reproducing
companies, orchestras, theatres, dance halls and
motion picture houses and others who will take
part in the campaign has been assured.
The fact that the Berlin organization makes
a very wise selection of the number for these
national drives assures those who are interested
of their success. Those who have taken part
in such campaigns as those arranged for "All
By Myself" and "My Mammy" hardly need to
be induced to co-operate in the present "Home-
sick" Week.

Los ANGELES, CAL., October 21.—Jack Visee,
sales manager for the music publishing house
of W. A. Quincke & Co., this city, is now on
an extended tour of the Western States, ac-
quainting dealers and the profession in general
with the new numbers in his firm's catalog.
He reports business as being very good, with
a gratifying interest in the numbers he is rep-
resenting. There seems to be a decided demand
for one of the Quincke songs, "I Can't Keep
You Out of My Dreams," a charming little
waltz ballad, and judging from present indica-
tions that number will soon be classed as a
real hit.

Sousa and his band have featured prominently
all the Witmark big popular hits at their an-

delphia. Among the most-played and frequently
played-over-again numbers were the "Shuffle
Along" selection, "Angel Child," "Where the
Volga Flows," "All Over Nothing at All," "Say
It While Dancing" and "I'm Just Wild About
Harry." They are among the steady-selling
popular favorites of the catalog.

Election week has been designated as "No
Use Crying" Week by arrangements closed by
the Edward B. Marks Music Co., the publisher,
with the Keith Circuit, Loew Circuit, Fox Cir-
cuit and Stanley chain of theatres, and many
other vaudeville houses. Others who will take
part in this publicity drive are Vincent Lopez
and his Pennsylvania Hotel Orchestra, Paul
Specht, Ray Miller, Mai Hallett and others, who
are to feature the number upon their dance
programs. Hundreds of dealers throughout the
country are to co-operate during the week by
giving window displays to this success. The
theory behind the whole campaign is that in
selecting election week for this campaign, no
matter who is successful in the election, there
is "No Use Crying." Outside of its musical
merit, therefore, the publicity has been arranged
at an appropriate time.
In a recent interview with a newspaper cor-
respondent Carrie Jacobs-Bond said: "Adver-
sity is an opportunity. We can be what we
want to be despite everything if we set our
minds and hearts upon it. When I first started
to write songs I wrote the words and music,
illustrated them myself, decorated the cover

POWERS COMPLETES TRIP
TRADE NEWS FROM PORTLAND
New York Manager for Sherman, Clay & Co.
Optimistic Over Middle West Survey
Sheet
Richard J. Powers, manager of the New York
offices of Sherman, Clay & Co., of San Fran-
cisco, returned to his desk early last week after
a trip through the Middle West. While in
Chicago Mr. Powers planned with Ford Rush,
the new Chicago manager of the company, a
Fall campaign for Middle West territory.
Shortly after his return to New York he left
on a trade trip, visiting Philadelphia, Baltimore
and Boston.
The Sherman, Clay & Co. catalog is showing
more activity now than at any time since they
published the famous song and instrumental
success, "Whispering." The songs, "The Sneak"
and "I Wish I Knew," are both having very
heavy sales. This demand is not confined to
any particular territory.
Sherman, Clay & Co. have now opened new
offices in Chicago and Detroit. A special adver-
tising appropriation giving publicity to the cata-
log has been arranged and a national sales
drive has been inaugurated.
PORTLAND, ORE., October 17.—When Bill Jacobs,
Irving Berlin's representative, was in Portland
recently the sheet music department of Lipman,
Wolfe & Co., in charge of Kathleen Benoit
Campbell, took on a complete line of popular
Berlin numbers and Miss Campbell says that
they are in big demand, among them being "No
Wonder I'm Lonesome," "Night," "Send Back
My Honey," "Truly," "Don't Bring Me Posies"
and "Homesick."
Portland music dealers were visited last week
by R. A. Cole, the traveling representative of
the Dixon-Lane Publishing Co., of Chicago and
St. Louis, and while here featured "Side by
Side" and "Call Me Back, Pal o' Mine."
"MammyLand" is another new fox-trot that the
Dixon-Lane people are featuring.
The Star Dance Folio No. 23 is having a big
sale at the Remick Song & Gift Shop, accord-
ing to May Shurr, manager of the sheet music
department.

street, has an attractive window display of the
compositions of Eniil Enna, Portland composer
;.nd president of the Society of Oregon Com-
posers. Mr. Enna's numbers are published by
W. A. Quincke, music publisher, of Los An-
geles, and the numbers now being featured are
for teaching purposes. Maybelle Elliott, the
manager of their sheet music department, says
there is a big demand for them locally and
they are being well received by both the music
teachers and their pupils.
Radio broadcasting goes merrily on in Port-
land and the radia fans who "listen in" are
increasing every day. The Oregonian broad-
casting station has now installed the strongest
instrument west of Chicago. On October 11
Jerry Ryan, one of Portland's prominent bari-
tones, featured the new Leo Feist, Inc., hits,
"Coal Black Mammy," "Why Should I Cry Over
You?" and "All For Love of Mike," with Eileen
Sprague, of the sheet music department of
Louis Mack, at the piano, and there were many
calls for encores from the radio fans. Another
Feist number which was featured was the ever-
popular "Three o'Clock in the Morning," which
was broadcasted as sung by Pauline Wolfe.

-
The J. W. Jenkins' Sons Music Co. has issued
a new fox-trot song called "Martha," which
seemingly has met with instant favor. The pro-
fessional and band and Orchestra departments of
the company have, through its reception, been
induced to inaugurate a special publicity cam-
paign. This is now well under way and will
cover every channel of musical activity. Al-
though "Martha" has only been in the hands
of the trade a short time the sales have shown
much activity and the firm reports a constant in-
crease in the size of repeat orders. "Martha,"
together with "Lonesome Mama Blues," will be
the outstanding features of the Fall catalog of
the above company.

William Axt and Martha Wilchinski, of the
Capitol Theatre staff, have written a ballad en-
titled "Old Homestead," inspired by the screen
production of that name, which will be used by
S. L. Rothafel in the special prologue and as
a theme of the musical presentation at the
Capitol Theatre next week. Owing to the
length of "The Old Homestead," the 'program
will be divided into two parts, the first part con-
sisting of the "Tannhauscr Overture," played
by the Capitol grand orchestra, Erno Rapee
conducting, and the Capitol News, and the sec-
ond part consisting of the presentation of the
feature production.
