CHAPPELL=HARMS' FINE RECORD
Consistent Publishing of Ballad Successes an
Indication of Judgment and Foresight
It is rather seldom that a music publishing
house can consistently issue one ballad success
after another. A demonstration of such ac-
curate judgment can be very well considered
as a remarkable feat, and this is what Chappell-
Harms, Inc., have accomplished during the past
year. Of the many successes which they have
recently issued four of them deserve more than
casual mention. These are:
"The Road That Brought You to Me," a de-
lightful little waltz song, very appealing, es-
pecially to those of sentimental temperament.
John McCormack's Victor record of this beau-
tiful number obviates the necessity of lengthy
comment. "The World Is Waiting for the Sun-
rise" is a song of unusual merit and very much

above the average. This song has met with
widespread popularity and is known and used
by many artists. "Smile Through Your Tears,"
the words of which are delicately tender in their
expression and with music which has the heart
appeal. "The Phantom Legions," a song that
would lend itself effectively to an orchestral
accompaniment; starts with a short recitative
and ends with a powerful martial movement
and a brilliant climax.
The Kondas Music Publishing Co., 52 Harbor
avenue, Ashtabula, O., has issued three songs
which are being featured by Ray Masino and
his Famous Garden Pier Orchestra at Atlantic
City. The numbers are entitled "Down the
Lane to Beginning Again," "Painting Pictures"
and "Aw' C'mon." Other orchestras are also
showing favor to these new issues and the
publisher is inaugurating a campaign in trade
circles to exploit the numbers.

"UP SHE GOES" A BIG SUCCESS
Songs Furnished by Harry Tierney and Joe
McCarthy—Leo Feist, Inc., Publisher
The new William A. Brady musical produc-
tion, "Up She Goes," for which Harry Tierney
and Toe McCarthy, of "Irene" fame, furnished
the songs, is said by many to be a bigger suc-
cess than their former production. This is
quite a compliment when it is considered that
"Irene" not only played for more than a year
on Broadway, but repeated its success in Lon-
don and had five road shows in the United
States.
Among the particularly pleasing numbers are
"Let's Kiss and Make Up," "Nearing the Day,"
"Ty-up" and "Journey's End." This latter num-
ber is said to be to "Up She Goes" what "Alice
Rlue Gown" was to "Irene." Leo Feist, Inc., is
the publisher.

REVIEW
CONCERNING THE SALE OF ORCHESTRATIONS
By M. WINKLER, President of Belwin, Inc.
There has long been a feeling in both pub-
lishing and retail circles that there are too many
orchestrations placed in orchestra leaders'
hands gratis. Attempts have been made, in
some instances with some success, in charging
for all orchestrations with the exception of
those for some of the leading dance combina-
tions which are considered the bipc factors in
several times the size of the ordinary orchestra-
tion. For these, of course, the publishers make
a charge.
Comparatively few dealers in the country get
the most out of a sale of orchestrations. Where
the proper attention is given to this feature it
has been the means of not only creating addi-
tional profits, but attracting musicians to the
DECEMBER 9, 1922
discount featured in the retailing of such goods
be discontinued.
What discount do you allow to orchestra
leaders? Why discounts? This is but another
phase of the music business which I would call
illegitimate. It is most peculiar that dealers
and professional musicians throughout the
country have not as yet come to the realization
that nothing can be deducted unless added on
first. Paper is patient—no printed copy of a
number will protest no matter what price you
decorate it with. Rut why all this camouflage?
, Would you like to see your own honest and
true language discounted? I am sure that you
are all acquainted with the phrase, "Discount
what he says." In every-day language it means
the fellow is lying. This is just the situation
governing the policy of discounts. It was
created years ago in a price-cutting spirit by
a few men in the publishing industry and has
gradually developed into a chronic disease,
forcing legitimate concerns to raise their prices
in order to combat this epidemic.
Why can't we publishers, assisted by the
dealers, inaugurate an educational campaign on
this matter? Why should the music industry
issue catalogs listing prices which don't mean
anything? Why continue making our patrons
happy by camouflaging? We all know that be-
fore a publisher or dealer marks a certain price
on an orchestral number he first thinks of the
price he is going to sell it for and next he
thinks of the discount, adds the two together
and everybody is happy. Why not resort to
truth and tell the "discount fans" that there is
no discount because the price marked is the
lowest and rock bottom? Let it be an honest
and true price and make them understand that
truth cannot be discounted.

Standard Pictorial Songs Published by M. Wit-
mark & Sons Make Gains in Popularity
There's always a healthy, steady improvement
in the popular standard pictorial songs issued
by M. Witmark & Sons. Much activity that
extends from coast to coast is ever noticeable
in the promotion of these hits and every local
office in important cities of the country co-
operates with splendid results with the main
professional offices in New York. The season
recently inaugurated sees many new sellers
issued by this firm carried over to make activity
for the New Year. Some of them are of very
recent date; others, like "Angel Child" and "Say
It While Dancing," are still popular. The vogue
of the dance craze still exercises its powerful
influence on the really popular songs of the day,
but it is significant that the Witmark numbers
can and do hold their own as mighty singable
and sellable songs, irrespective of their un-
doubted merits as dancing favorites. One of
the most promising of new songs, "Carry Me
Back to My Carolina Home," is by the same
writers as "Angel Child." Other favorites are
"For the Sake of Auld Lang Syne," by Ernest
R..Ball, a typical Ball-Witmark waltz ballad,
and a new one by this writer invitingly named
"The Little Gray House Without Any Key."
Growing fast in public demand and favor is
"All Over Nothing at All," with still newer
hits, such as "Fate," an uncommonly meritorious
number, and "Juliette," catchy and up to date.
In addition, mention may also be made of a
number of really successful picture songs issued
by Witmark—songs that are identified with the
screening of important productions and whose
sales are large. Heading the list, of course, is
the beautiful Penn song, "Srriilin' Through," the
only song on record which was not written for
a picture, but actually inspired it; also "Oliver
Twist," immortalizing Jackie Coogan in the
part; "Eternal Flame," featuring Norma Tal-
madge; "Suzanna," with Mabel Normand; "You
Know How 'Tis," inspired by Virginia Valli's
phrase in "The Storm"; "My Wild Irish Rose"
and "Lorna Doone," one of the really graceful
numbers that a picture has evoked.
