Hale and Hearty After Breakdown
Carlo and Sanders, writers of the song hits
in the successful musical comedy, "Tangerine,"
have written, in collaboration with Sissle and
Blake, the score for the new show called "Elsie,"
scheduled for its New York premiere at an
early date. The Carlo and Sanders numbers
are published by Jerome H. Remick & Co., Inc.,
and most prominent among these are: "Honey-
moon Home," "Two Lips Are Roses," "Elsie,"
"I'll Find the Key to Your Heart," "Clouds
of Love," "One Day in May" and "Glow
Worm." Following its.-.appeai'anGe.s in- Cincin-
nati, O., the "Elsie" show is re ceding.its fin-
ishing touches in Dayton anj^ Minneapolis, idle

The trade is well aware that Maurice Rich-
mond, head of the Richmond Music Supply
Corp., found it necessary, as a result of a break-
down in health, to spend many months of last
year away from his office. It was, therefore,
somewhat surprising to see him back at his
desk in his old-time form, showing no traces
of the experiences which resulted in keeping
him away from business. Mr. Richmond credits
his renewed condition and vigor to one, Bill
Brown, whom he calls "The Miracle Man," and
he is. anxious that every one in the trade who
finds it, necessary to take a week or two of
rest should be acquainted with this "Miracle
Man," who operates what is known as Browns-
dale, at Garrison-on-the-Hudson. Three hundred
and fifty acres are here devoted to building up
run-down business men.
The campaign of the Better Music Bureau of
the Music Industries Chamber of Commerce
for the purpose of exposing and eliminating
fake publishing concerns in order to protect
the amateur songwriter has had the consistent
support of the Music Publishers' Protective
Association, the Music Publishers' Association
of the United States, the National Association
of Sheet Music Dealers, and, according to the
latest announcement, the Music Teachers' Na-
tional Association. This latter Association at
a recent meeting passed a resolution deploring
the evil practices of the fake music publishers
and gave support and encouragement to the
Better Music Bureau in its activities in connec-
tion with such organizations.
LEO FEIST'S GIFT TO ACTORS' FUND
In commemoration of the twenty-fifth anni-
versary of the establishment of Leo Feist, Inc.,
Mr. Feist recently donated $5,000 to the Actors'
Fund. The only stipulation with the gift was
that an equal amount be raised in a drive. The
latter program has been carried out by the
New York Clipper. Mr. Feist has always taken
a decided interest in the activities of actors
and his business being closely allied to that
profession, he felt the urge to do something
substantial for the fund.

resentative, formerly with Harold Flammer,
