PORTLAND, ORE., March 21.—I. E. Sklare, man-
ager of the Portland Remick Song & Gift Shop,
spent the past ten days visiting the sheet music
dealers of Spokane, Seattle, Vancouver and
several other cities, in the interests of his firm
and reports having received many orders for
"Shedding Tears Over You," "Falling," "I'm
Just a Little Blue," "When Will I Know,"
"Sweet One," and "Rocky Mountain Moon."
Mr. Sklare says that O. G. Olsby has again taken
charge of the Seattle branch as manager, after
spending several months in California.
The Liberty Theatre of Portland featured
"When Will I Know" with attractive slides,
while Roy Alexander, tenor, sang the song,
making a big hit, accompanied by Henri Keates
on the Wurlitzer organ. The same song was
also featured at the Hippodrome by Cappen's
Jazz Orchestra.
When Kathleen Benoit Campbell resigned as
manager of the sheet music department of Lip-
man, Wolfe & Co. to take charge of the Louis
Mack store on Broadway, Nellie L. Torgler
was placed in charge of the department. Miss
Torgler is a talented musician, holds a B. M.
degree from the interstate branch of the Chi-
cago Conservatory of Music and is a teacher
and concert pianist of ability.
AKRON, O., March 24.—At the various down-
town music shops, especially in the syndicate
stores, sheet music sales are reported to have
increased considerably in the past three weeks.
Popular sheet music is having an exceptionally
good run, while the standard and classical num-
bers are also in big demand.
At the store of the Kratz Piano Co. it was
said that all sheet music sales have been brisk
since the first of the month. Popular numbers
are running second to teaching music and the
more sedate numbers. This store reports sheet
music sales were way off the first six weeks
of the year.
The department store of the M. O'Neil Co.,
which maintains one of the most complete sheet
music departments in greater Akron, reports
that the appearance here of Ted Lewis and his
band with the Greenwich Village Follies greatly
stimulated sheet music sales, especially "Fate,"
for which number there has been an unprec-
edented demand. "Toot, Toot, Tootsie" and
"Three o'Clock in the Morning," other Lewis
band hits, also have been going big. Absence
here this season of musical shows has kept
musical comedy hits of the current season at
a minimum.
Kresge's music department reports sheet
music sales the best of the year since March 1
and that popular numbers predominate. The
Metropolitan Store music section also reports
big sale of popular numbers. Twenty-five cents
is the popular price for newest song hits, dealers
said.
erosity of Hiram W. Siblcy, of this city, the
University of Rochester has just come into
ownership of the original musical manuscript
of "Home, Sweet Home." The approaching
centenary of John Howard Payne's writing of
the song makes Mr. Sibley's gift a matter of
unusual interest. The folio, which was pur-
chased for him at the recent dispersal sale of
the library of Mrs. Luther Livingston at the
Anderson Galleries in New York City, is already
in Rochester and in the safe custody of the
Sibley Musical Library of the Eastman School
of Music.
