SEVERAL POPULAR RELEASES
Shapiro, Bernstein & Co. Catalog Contains a
Number of Popular Hits
Among the new songs issued by Shapiro, Bern-
stein & Co., Inc., are "Lost, a Wonderful Girl"
and "True Blue Sam" (The Traveling Man),
and "Are You Playing Fair?" The first number
is being sung by a large number of vaudeville
stars. It has a melody a little better than the
average class. "True Blue Sam" is a novelty
which was recently introduced by Belle Baker
at the Palace Theatre, New York. Other vaude-
ville performers are including this song in their
programs and it is also being heard as a fox-trot.
Another novelty issued by the same company
is "Where the Bamboo Babies Grow." This,
too, is a popular dance. "Cuddle Me" and the
latest song by Mary Earl in waltz time, entitled
"Mississippi Ripples," complete the list.
Roseland Dancing Academy, the popular New
York resort for the younger set, held a song-
writer's contest on Thursday evening, October
19, offering as a prize
a beautiful silver loving
cup suitably inscribed
to the winner. The cup
was won by Bob Miller
and Herbert Steiner,
representing Leo Feist,
Inc. Each contestant
was l i m i t e d to one
song, singing the verse
and two choruses. The
Feist n u m b e r which
won the cup was "Why
Should 1 Cry Over
You?" Other publish-
The Roseland Cup
e rs represented in the
contest were Irving Berlin, Inc., with the song
"Homesick"; Jerome H. Remick & Co., "Indi-
ana"; Stark & Cowan, "Blue"; Jack Snyder,
Music Publisher, Inc., "In Maytime 1 Learned to
Love"; M. Witmark & Sons, "Carry Me Back to
Carolina"; E. B. Marks Music Co., "Little Red
Schoolhouse," and Shapiro, Bernstein & Co.,
Inc., "Georgette."
While the Feist song "Why Should I Cry
Over You?" is undoubtedly one of the best of
this season's offerings, the fact that Bob Miller,
who rendered the song, was in splendid voice
and is an excellent show man must be given
some consideration. Herbert Steiner, who ac-
companied him upon the piano, operated in a
manner which brought forth particular com-
ment.
TWO NEW MILLS RELEASES
Compositions by A. H. Malotte Being Published
by Jack Mills, Inc.
Jack Mills, Inc., has accepted two composi-
tions from Albert Hay Malotte, who for the
past seven years has been an organist in leading
motion picture houses on the Pacific Coast.
The numbers are called "Some Day I'll Forget,"
a waltz ballad, and "Jasmine Flower," an Ori-
ental fox-trot.

PLANS FOR "HOMESICK" WEEK
FEATURING ^OLIVER TWIST"
Several Original Ideas to Be Used in Exploiting
Irving Berlin Number
Witmark Number Being Exploited in Connec-
tion With Film of Same Name
The week's campaign on the Irving Berlin song,
"Homesick," scheduled from November 18 to 25,
inclusive, which has been announced by the pub-
lishing house of Irving Berlin, Inc., is unusual
through the fact that the various talking ma-
chine record and player roll manufacturers, their
distributors and dealers, as well as the jobbers
and retailers in the sheet music industry, are
carrying out some original ideas to supplement
the drive.
Particular mention should likewise be made
of the release by the various talking machine
record companies, during the month of Novem-
ber, of this Berlin success in both vocal and
instrumental records. We believe that this is
the first time in the history of the co-operation
of mechanical reproducers with music publishers
that all of the various manufacturers have co-
operated in this manner.
One of the biggest tie-ups ever undertaken
in connection with a picture feature song is
that of "Oliver Twist," and both the publicity
departments of the First National Exhibitors

acters, had its New York premiere at the Strand
Theatre last Sunday, where it will remain for
at least two weeks. In Chicago "Oliver Twist"
was shown for the first time on Monday at the
Chicago Theatre. After these engagements this
big feature will be exhibited in every first-class
picture house throughout the United States and
Canada.
The song, "Oliver Twist," itself, written by
Vaughn De Leath, is of the character of a really
popular number, possessing a homy lyric and
sympathetic melody. At the Strand Theatre it
is being sung by the famous Strand Quartet in
one of those specially designed prologues for
which this house is noted, and its melody is
used constantly during the showing of the pic-
ture, constituting the principal "Oliver" theme.
Nothing has been left undone to make the
lie-up between picture and song complete. The
display material that the Associated First Na-
tional Pictures has made available is remark-
able for both its effectiveness and its variety.
It includes artistic one sheets, half sheets, cutout
bookmarks and other novelties—in fact, a
greater and more inviting assortment than any
other picture song has ever had the benefit of.
The special set of "Oliver Twist" slides are
particularly worthy of attention, all made from
original Jackie Coogan pictures.

The Skidmore Music Co. has issued a new
song entitled "I Wonder Where My Old Gal Is
To-night?" The number is being introduced in
several vaudeville houses in Eastern territory
and from indications it apparently is an over-
night success. The publisher is planning an ex-
tensive publicity campaign in which this number
will be featured and exploited.
BORNSTEIN IN THE WEST
Ben Bornstein, of Ager, Yellen & Bornstein,
