"WILD ABOUT HARRY" A HIT
Number From "Shuffle Along" Now Being Ac-
claimed Everywhere
"Shuffle Along," the musical show that ran
well into the second year at the Sixty-third Street
Theatre, New York City, made popular a series of
songs, but it was not until the closing months
of its popularity that Sissle and Blake's "I'm
Just Wild About Harry" received national recog-
nition in dance circles. The number has been
quite active during the Summer months and M.
Witmark & Sons, the publishers, found it neces-
sary to supplement its popularity by a special
campaign.
PHIL OHMAPTAS SOLOIST
Prominent Pianist Appearing With Paul White-
man's Orchestra as Soloist
Phil Ohman, who has recorded for both the
Q R S Music Co. and the Victor Talking Machine
Co., has been playing some piano solos with Paul
Whiteman's Orchestra at the Palais Royal, New
York. Piano solos, by the way, are jumping into
prominence in orchestra circles, and there seems
to be a demand for them on the part of the
public. In response to this Mr. Ohman has
written a novelty, called "Try and Play It,"
which Richmond-Robbins, Inc., have accepted
for publication.

Prominent Tenor Uses "In Maytime" at Nuptials

New E. B. Marks Co. Number Used in Con-
junction With Film Production
John Steele, well-known American tenor, at-
tended the Pickford-Miller wedding in California
early this month and took part in the musical pro-
gram connected with the festivities. Among the
songs he sang was "In Maytime" (I Learned to
Love), a number which he has featured on his
tour of the country. Mr. Steele is now appear-
ing in the Middle West and the publisher of the
above song recently received a letter from him in
which he stated that "In Maytime" (I Learned
to Love) is being received favorably everywhere.
Jack Snyder, Inc., publishes the number.
In conjunction with the motion picture, "For-
get-Me-Not," now playing at the Criterion
Theatre, Broadway and Forty-fourth street, the
Edward B. Marks Music Co. has issued a song,
entitled "One Million Hearts Are Calling 'For-
get-Me-Not'." The picture is propaganda for
the protection of orphans and one-half the pro-
ceeds of the exhibit is given to the orphan
asylums of the country. Billy Baskette is the
writer of the number.
FIVE GOOD NUMBERS
TWO POPULAR NUMBERS
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL., August 7.—"Nobody Lied"
(Remick) seems to be one of the coming favor-
ites in California, according to Henry Grobe, of
the Wiley B. Allen store, and other important
dealers in sheet music. "Three O'Clock in the
Morning" (Feist) continues to hold its own, both
in sheet music sales and in the number of per-
formances given of the number in restaurants
and other places where the masses congregate.
The firm of Waterson, Berlin & Snyder is
opening up its Fall professional campaign with
the following songs: "Mary, Dear"; "Dancing
Fool"; "By the Sapphire Sea"; "In My Home
Town" and "Just Because You're You."
NEW PIANO SOLO BY ROSS
Jack Mills, Inc., has issued a new piano solo
by Henry W. Ross, entitled "Tickles."
