Associated With Jack Mills, Inc.
Sherman, Clay & Co. have been chiefly noted
lor their representative music stores in Pacific
Coast cities and the publication of music folios
and a series of
p o p u l a r songs
which became in-
ternational suc-
cesses. It is not
so generally known
that the music pub-
lishing department
of this enterpris-
ing concern has
also a catalog of
songs such as are
termed of standard
variety.
The fact, how-
ever, that Colin
Colin O'More
O'More, the well-
known concert and exclusive Vocalion record
artist who has been giving a series of con-
certs in the metropolitan district, has been sing-
ing with great success the song "Just a Bit of
Irish Lace," from the catalog of Sherman, Clay
& Co., gives recognition to that house as pub-
lishers of music of the better sort.
"Just a Bit of Irish Lace" is from the pen
of Alfred Solman, who has contributed many
songs in years past, chiefly of the popular
variety. It is understood that this new song
will be released on leading talking machine
records in the near future.
During the recent visit of Van and Schenck,
the well-known musical comedy and vaudeville
stars as well as record artists, to Buffalo, N. V.,
they particularly made it a point to visit some
of the sheet music retail establishments.
Arriving at the W. T. Grant store, of that city,
which had just received a large shipment of
"Who Did You Fool After All?", written by
Van and Schenck and Johnny S. Black, they
saw a full window display of the number. This,
they felt, was an invitation to visit the music
counter, with the result that the manager of
the store, upon recognizing these well-known
Columbia artists, requested that they autograph
all the copies of the song sold. This proved a
big attraction and created a heavy volume of
sales. Goodman & Rose, Inc., are the pub-
lishers of this number.
Herewith is reproduced a photograph of
Henry Lange, one of the best-known com-
posers of contemporary American music. He is
a pianist of rare ability and a record artist of
note. Henry Lange also has the added distinc-
tion of being the pianist with Paul Whiteman's
BILLY VITCHEL HAVING SUCCESS
CHICAGO, III., December 18.—Billy Vitchel, who
was recently appointed Chicago representative
for Richmond-Robbins, Inc., has been on the
ground for about a month or more and reports
an unusual success with the companys' cata'og,
which includes "Burning Sands," "Baby Blue
F.yes," "Old Fashioned Girl" and other songs.
"LOVIN' SAM" IN BROADWAY SHOWS
Featured by Two Productions in Well-known
Gotham Theatres—Hit With Audiences
"Lovin' Sam" (The Sheik of Alabam'), pub-
lished by Ager, Yellen & Rornstein, Inc., has
the distinction of being among the featured
songs of two Broadway productions. At the
Globe Theatre, in the musical show, "The Bunch
and Judy," Grace Hayes renders it in the last
act to an audience tbat invariably receives it
by demanding repeated encores.
Greenlee and Drayton also feature it in the
second act of the new colored musical show,
"Liza," now playing at Daly's Sixty-third Street
Music Hall. It is also necessary here to give
repeated encores of the number.
Harriet Moran, well-known vaudeville enter-
tainer, is singing with success the Joe Mitten-
tiial, Inc., fox-trot, "To Have and to Hold,"
which was originally issued for exploitation in
conjunction with the famous photoplay of the
same name.

Orciiestra, which in itself gives him national
importance in that particular field.
Besides the above, Mr. Lange finds time to
be the directing head of several well-known
orchestras, most of them now playing on
Broadway. He was recently added to the staff
of composers of Jack Mills, Inc., where he con-
tributes to the catalog of representative Ameri-
can piano solos. His composition, "Cho-Piano,"
has been most prominent and contains the most
popular strains of Massenet's "Elegie," "Ma-
dame Butterfly" and the "Minute Waltz."
"Symphanola," another Lange piano composi-
tion from the same catalog, is a unique work
which has a particular appeal to the accom-
plished pianist. Mr. Lange is an important
addition to the Jack Mills staff.
