Several Important Releases Being Issued by
Prominent Boston Publisher
Appointed Manager of Schirmer Branch in Los
Angeles—Has Had Wide Trade Experience
Among the headline acts and artists featuring
songs from the catalog of M. Witmark & Sons,
either in vaudeville or in stage productions, is
Paul Whiteman and his orchestra, which plays
"I'm Just Wild About Harry" in George White's
"Scandals of 1922" at the Globe Theatre, New
York. Al Jolson, in ^iis musical show "Bombo,"
now playing at the Apollo Theatre, Chicago, is
singing "Angel Child," and Eddie Cantor in his
latest production, "Make It Snappy," sings the
new comedy song, "Sophie." Ted Lewis, in
the "Greenwich Village Follies," is singing a
new number by Byron Gay called "Fate." The
first two numbers are acknowledged as among
the most popular song and dance hits of this
season and the latter two, though new, are
numbered with big possibilities, as is indicated
by the artists who are using them.
The Oliver Ditson Co., Boston, Mass., re-
cently released several new numbers, all of
which are undoubtedly important additions to
that catalog and will be active from a dealer's
viewpoint. Among them is "Resurgam," by
Henry Hadley. This work is to be produced
by the Cincinnati Musical Association next May
at its annual May Festival. It is now in re-
hearsal. "Songs of Other Days," by Fanny
Snow Knowlton, will meet the requirements of
those who want to give a novel entertainment.
It is suitable for churches and schools. "The
Nativity," a mystery play by Ekman and Fyffe,
with words and music adopted from old French
noels, will find favor with churches.

THE MUSICIANS' REVENGE
Viennese Musicians Play Wrong Score at
Presentation of Lehar's Operetta
PARIS, FRANCE, November
1.—A
freak
strike
demonstration was made in Vienna during the
playing oi Lehar's operetta, "Frasquita." The
musicians, who demanded a salary increase and
who say it had been promised, but did not mate-
rialize, played a different score than the one
Lehar was leading from the director's desk.
A violent controversy raged over the incident,
the public taking sides. For the most part,
theatregoers supported Lehar. The immediate
wrangle was settled, but the theatre situation
is greatly overcast. The trouble with the musi-
cians was only part of the general feeling of
discontent and it is expected that a general the-
atrical strike will be called sooner or later.

Los ANGELES, CAL., November 4.—Harold
R.
Skeath has been appointed manager of the G.
Schirmer, Inc., Los Angeles branch, succeeding
Harry Nevelle, who recently resigned in order
to take over the sheet music concession at the
newly enlarged store of the Platt Music Co.
Mr. Skeath was with the R. W. Hefflefinger
Music Co., Los Angeles, for eleven years, and
has since been with the W. J. Dyer & Bro.
music department, and was an officer of the
National Association of Sheet Music Dealers of
America.
The Nevelle, Marple Music Co. is the name
of the new sheet music house owning the con-
cession at the Platt Music Co. The Platt Music
Co.'s store has been recently enlarged and re-
decorated and has been converted into one of
the most attractive stores on Broadway. H. G.
Nevelle had been manager of G. Schirmer, Inc.,
Los Angeles, for some time until he finally
decided to go into business with Mr. Marple,
who is also well known in this section and has
been for many years with Sherman, Clay & Co.
'SMILIN' THROUGH" IN ENGLAND
Special Edition of Witmark Hit Being Issued
in England by Feldman & Co.
M. Witmark & Sons, publishers of the big
success, "Smilin' Through," recently received
information showing that the vogue of this song
by Arthur A. Penn has been extended to the
British Isles. This report was prior to the
release of the Norma Talmadge picture of the
same name. Inasmuch as this photoplay, which
aroused such tremendous interest here, is shortly
to be released on the other side, the popularity
of "Smilin' Through" in song form should be
greatly enhanced. B. Feldman & Co., the Lon-
don representatives of M. Witmark & Sons,
have issued a special souvenir edition of "Smilin'
Through" in addition to the regular "Black and
White Series," of this international favorite.
