It is not unusual for business organizations to
have musical combinations as members of their
staffs. However, most such combinations are of
the band or orchestra type. Recently we have
Roy Turk and J. Russel Robinson are co-
authors in the music and lyrics of "The Plan-
tation Revue," which recently opened up at the
Forty-eighth Street Theatre, New York. The
Bide Dudley, the well-known humorist who
runs a daily column in the New York Evening
World, has at various times tried to "crash
the gates" and enter the realm of those who are
known as writers and co-writers of musical
comedies. This particular chap,, who has been
more than successful in parading the weaknesses
of his fellowman, has, despite his wealth of ex-
perience, failed in his endeavors in that direc-
tion, withthe exception of his latest effort, "Sue,
Dear," which recently opened at the Times
Square Theatre, New York City. It is true
that in this instance the well-known Air. Dudley
was assisted by C. S. Montanye in preparing
the book. However, he is exclusively guilty of
the lyrics for the songs. The music is by Frank
H. Grey, in whom the composing profession
acknowledges an energetic worker and a per-
sistent caller at the "doorsteps of publishers."
In extenuation we might say, however, that
Mr. Grey, despite his voluminous offerings, has
succeeded in writing a number of successes which
were nationally acknowledged and to continue
further on this line we might add that "Sue,
Dear," which is described as a musical comedy
of youth, love and beauty, is, as a musical
offering, a decided treat.
Among the songs that are incorporated in
the show are "Smile and Forget," a very op-
timistic offering; "Lady Lingerie," "Love's Cor-
poration," "The Loveship," "Hiram Skinner's
Comb," full of life; "My Little Full Blown
Rose," "Lovers' Lane With You," and to be
up-to-date, there is a song "By Radiophone,"
and the other offerings include "Up on River-
side," "Piggie Wiggie," "Key to My Heart,"
and "Lorayne." Leo Feist, Inc., publish the
music.
NEW SAXOPHONE SERIES
The Triangle Music Co. has released the first
of a series of saxophone solos by Rudy Wiedoeft
entitled "Saxophobia," and "Saxemax" in E
flat alto. This series was originally published
in the key of C and it is now proposed by the
company to release all the Rudy Wiedoeft sax-
ophone compositions in the new key.
