WRITE "GRANDMA'S BOY" SONG
Special Number Written to Be Featured with
Photoplay of That Name
Pathe Exchange, Inc., has completed arrangements
with Stark & Cowan, Inc., music publishers, in New
York City, for the publication of a song, "Grand-
ma's Boy," to be used as an additional exploitation
accessory for the Harold Lloyd-Associated Exhibi-
tors feature of the same name, produced by Hal
Roach. Herbert Crooker and Jean Havez, well-
known lyric writers, wrote the words, and the mu-
sic is by Pete Wendling, who has many song hits
to his credit. The melody is a fox-trot and the
words the idea of the photoplay theme.
TO RELEASE "NANOOK"
S. C. Caine, Inc., to Release Fox-trot by Writers
of "Isle of Zorda"
Milt Hagen, Victor Nurnberg and Herb
Crooker have written a novelty fox-trot, called
"Nanook," written after the successful Eskimo
picture of the same title, and to be released with-
in a few days. The trio are writers of "Isle of
Zorda," also a picture song, and it was the ex-
ceptional success of the latter which inspired
them to write the "Nanook" song. S. C. Caine,
Inc., is the publisher.

NOW 18 THE TIME
C C CHURCH AND COMPANY
HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT
Hartford—New
Boston recently witnessed the premieres of
two of the most successful musical shows that
have ever been produced in that city. The first
was George M. Cohan's "Little Nelly Kelly" at
the Tremont Theatre, a typical Cohan title and
a typical Cohan success, surpassed by nothing
the popular actor-manager-author-composer has
ever done. Mr. Cohan wrote the whole of "Lit-
tle Nelly Kelly," book, lyrics and music, besides
staging and producing it. The result is a
George M. Cohan triumph of the first water.
Among the numbers are such typical titles as
"You Remind Me of My Mother," "Nelly
Kelly, I Love You," "Dancing My Worries
Away," "All My Boys," "The Name of Kelly,"
" 'Till My Luck Comes Rolling Home," "Pretty
Girls," "The Hinkey Dee," "All in the Wear-
ing," "The Voice in My Heart," etc., etc.
The other big opening was the now tre-
mendously famous "Shuffle Along" at the Sel-
wyn Theatre, direct from its run of considerably
over a year in New York, with all the original
stars and company and the same galvanic "pep"
that made it what it always was—the most
talked-of show of the year. All the numerous
song hits, a dozen of them, like "Love Will
Find a Way," "Serenade Blues," "Bandana
Days," "I'm Just Cravin' for That Kind of
Love," "I'm Just Wild About Harry," "Gypsy
Blues" and others were already familiar to
Boston by reason of their enormous popularity.
In recognition of the fact of two such smash-
ing successes simultaneously in the city, the
Oliver Ditson Co. gave M. Witmark & Sons,
publishers of the music of both shows, a solid
window display, divided equally between "Little
Nelly Kelly" and "Shuffle Along." It was a
most unusual display in every sense of the word
and created much comment.
JACK MILLS^RETURNS
Jack Mills, head of Jack Mills, Inc., returned
early last week after a trade trip to the larger
centers of the Middle West. He states that he
found a substantial demand for such numbers as
"Kitten on the Keys," "Deedle Deedle Dura,"
"Finale Hopper" and "Mr. Gallagher and Mr.
Shean."

Some time ago Carl Fischer issued a catalog
on the "Carl Fischer's Music Library," which
is to be distributed to the retailers for general
use. This collection is most comprehensive and
includes standard compositions, instructive
works and musical classics for piano, voice, vio-
lin and various how and wind instruments. The
arrangement of the titles in the catalog and their
particular values appear in simplified form
with the aid of an index. Thus particular works
and their use can be immediately located. The
catalogs have been gotten up in a very attrac-
tive form on quality stock and should prove of
value, particularly to teachers.
