C. WARREN RETURNING TO ENGLAND
London Representative of M. Witmark & Sons
Sails on "Majestic" After Busy Visit to New
York—Planning Big Ad Campaign
Charles Warren, London representative of M.
Witmark & Sons, in which capacity he has
served ever since that firm established an office
in the British metropolis, sailed for England
on the "Majestic" last Saturday. Mr. Warren's
visit to New York was a short one, but it was
crowded with both business and pleasure en-
gagements. It was the first time he had crossed
the Atlantic since the war and he brought with
him glowing reports of the progress the Wit
mark publications are making across the water.
This applies particularly to the famous Witmark
Black & White Series and also to many of
the numbers in the standard-pictorial division.
Mr. Warren received a royal welcome from all
his old friends, who found him "the same old
Charlie," the picture of health and geniality
and looking forward to celebrating his quarter
of a century's active and exclusive connection
with the Witmark house, an event that will
occur in the very near future.
During his stay in New York Mr. Warren
had several conferences relative to some big
advertising campaigns on the other side in con-
nection with the Witmark Black & White Series,
the sole agency for which in Great Britain is
in the capable hands of B. Feldman & Co.
Mr. Warren reported the most lively interest
in the leading numbers of this famous catalog
throughout the United Kingdom, the English
sales having shown amazing progress during the
past few years. He said that the coming Christ-
mas pantomime season was expected to be a
record breaker, and among the leading favorites
for pantomime featuring this year these Wit-
mark numbers occupied a prominent place:
"Smilin' Through," "All Over Nothing at All,"
"That's How I Believe in You," "On a Saturday
Night," "Crooning," "Angel Child," "For the
Sake of Auld Lang Syne" and "Carry Me Back
to My Carolina Home."
Fellow passengers with Mr. Warren on the
"Majestic" were George M. Cohan, writer and
producer of "Little Nellie Kelly," and Charles
Cochrane, the well-known London producer,

JOSEPH DISKAY ON KEITH CIRCUIT
Hungarian Tenor Sings Two Numbers From
Marks Co. Catalog
Joseph Diskay, a former member of the Royal
Hungarian Opera, who has made an extensive
operatic and concert tour of Europe, is now
appearing on the Keith Circuit in this country.
Mr. Diskay, who is a tenor, studied his art in
Italy, Germany, Hungary and Austria.
It is understood that Mr. Diskay is only one
of a great number of European artists, former
members of opera companies, who are com-
pelled, on account of the depression in Europe
and the consequent harmful effects upon the
arts and sciences, to try their fortunes in
America.
Among the songs appearing in the repertoire
of Mr. Diskay are "Sonja," the Russian ballad,
and "Love's Lament," the European waltz suc-
cess, both of which are published by the Ed-
ward B. Marks Music Co.
TWO POPULAR WALTZES
Quincke & Co. Meeting Much Success With
Two Recent Releases
Charles Warren
who will, in the near future, introduce both
"Little Nellie Kelly" and "Shuffle Along" to
the London stage. The music of both these
big American successes is published by M. Wit-
mark & Sons.
Therese Prochazka, soprano, is including
"L'ile Heurese," by Chabrier, in the French
group of her recital program this season.
Enoch & Sons are the publishers.
Los ANGELES, CAL., November 25.—That the
waltz is definitely coming back is well evidenced
in the reception being accorded two new num-
bers of this type recently released by W. A.
Quincke & Co., music publishers of Los An-
geles. These songs, "Drifting Along" and "I
Can't Keep You Out of My Dreams," are not
only finding favor with professional singers,
but with the dance orchestras all over the
country. So many flattering comments have
come in to the Quincke Co. and such a grati-
fying demand is being made for the numbers
that this firm believes it has picked two sure
winners this season.
