CHAMBERLAIN REORGANIZES STAFF
'JUST FOR TONIGHT" SCORES
MUSIC MEN ASSOCIATION MEETS
Sidney Holden, Formerly With Fred Fisher,
Inc., Takes Position as Sales Manager
Continental Success, Published Here by Edward
B. Marks, Repeating Hit With Americans
Appoints Membership Committee and Plans to
Extend Scope of Organization
DETROIT, MICH., April 9.—The Chamberlain Co.
has increased its staff, and among others has
secured the services of Sidney Holden, who re-
cently severed his connections with Fred Fisher,
Inc., to take up the position of sales manager
for Chamberlain. Mr. Holden is well known to
the music trade and profession and also has
several songs to his credit, including "Sophie,"
Eddie Cantor's big hit in "Make It Snappy."
Richard W. Pascoe, of "That Tumble-Down
Shack in Athlone" fame, and a prominent figure
in the music business, has been appointed presi-
dent of the concern, and Howard Simon is now
general manager. Mr. Simon had formerly been
connected with Jack Mills, Inc., and the Roat
Music Co., of Battle Creek, Mich.
The leading song in the Chamberlain cata-
log is "Slumbering," a waltz ballad recently
released, and the firm predicts a big sale for
this number. It is an unusual counter seller
and is fast becoming popular.
The Edward B. Marks Music Co. recently
issued a waltz entitled "Just for To-night."
Before acquiring the American rights for this
number it had an unusual success in Europe,
being known on the continent as "Nur Eine
Nacht.'' Since its release to the orchestras here
the Marks organization has received a series
of letters from various orchestra leaders in
which tribute is paid to its merit. Among those
who have favorably mentioned it are Paul
Specht, Mai Hallett, Roy Bargy, Joseph Knecht,
California Ramblers, Ben Bernie, Howard Lan-
nin, Ernie Young, Jules Klein's Detroit Statler
Hotel Orchestra, Joe Gibson and his Moulin
Rouge Orchestra, Paul Biese's Orchestra, Mau-
rie Sherman and others.
Among the letters received the following is
a good example: "I was pleased to receive
some time ago orchestration for 'Nur Ein
Nacht,' which is to be called in America 'Just
for To-night' waltz. A friend of mine who re-
turned from Europe about a week ago was
thinking of me one day while over there and
purchased for and brought to me a copy of
this terrific hit. He told me that the people
over there were wild about the number and I
am positive that it will be a 'real go' over here
as well. (Signed) Edward Metzger, Colum-
bus, O."
The fifth regular meeting of the Association
of Music Men was held recently at the Old
Heidelberg Cafe, New York. There were
twenty-two members present, President Schulz
presiding.
The president appointed the following mem-
bers to serve on the membership committee:
Joseph Dunn, Chas. G. Schloz and A. J. Senger.
These are in addition to those previously ap-
pointed.
The matter of an outing was next discussed.
Vice-president Glassmacher suggested a very
good place and said that he would report at
the next meeting more particulars.
The advisability of holding meetings once a
month was taken up and after a lengthy dis-
cussion the Association agreed to hold the
meetings twice a month as at present, but the
time of opening the meeting was made 6:30.
For the benefit of those members who were
not acquainted with the way the Association
was founded Mr. Gunther told of its origin.
FOR SALZBURG COMPETITION
Announcement was made recently that the
American Hoard having the matter in charge
has chosen the following five American com-
positions to be submitted to the international
jury at Zurich for possible performance at the
international festival of contemporary music
next August in Salzburg:
Charles Martin Loeffler's string quartet, Har-
old Morris's trio, the late Charles T. Griffes'
Chinese songs, Louis Gruenberg's "Polychrome"
and Emerson Whithorne's piano suite, "New
York Days and Nights."
NEW GALLAGHER AND SHEAN BOOK
Jack Mills, Inc., has just released a new book
containing "The Funniest and Famous Special
Verses Sung by That Well-known Team, Gal-
lagher and Shean in 'Ziegfeld Follies.' " Each
chorus is illustrated in colors which adds to
the value of the Shumers contributions. The
title page is most attractive and the inside front
cover carries portraits of these successful artists.
There has been quite a demand for the Gal-
lagher and Shean extra choruses which induced
the publisher to issue the booklet.
"WHO'S SORRY NOW" NEW SONG
One of the new songs recently added to the
catalog of Waterson, Berlin & Snyder is the
ballad entitled "Who's Sorry Now?" The pro-
fessional department of the Waterson organiza-
tion has inaugurated a most active campaign
among professionals on this issue. A new com-
edy song has also been released, entitled "In
Hotsy Totsy Town."
Clarence C. Johnson, Vincennes, Ind., is the
publisher of a song entitled "Hoosier Girl." The
music is by Sheridan Hersee Isaacs.
"ELSIE" LOOKS LIKE HIT
The new musical show, "Elsie," which re-
cently opened at the Vanderbilt Theatre, New
York City, is seemingly a worthy successor to
"Irene," which last season had such a lengthy
run. The music of the show is by Sisslc and
Blake, of "Shuffle Along" fame, and Carlo and
Sanders, who will be remembered for the tune-
ful score of "Tangerine." M. Witmark & Sons
publish the Sissle & Blake numbers, "Baby
Buntin," and "Two Hearts in Tune." The Carlo
and Sanders numbers, published by Jerome H.
Remick & Co., include "Honeymoon Home" and
"Two Lips Are Roses."
Robert Crawford, sales manager of Irving
Berlin, Inc., recently returned from a trade trip
to the Middle West. His itinerary included
Kansas City, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland and
other large centers. Mr. Crawford found a most
active demand for "Dearest," "You Know You
Belong to Somebody Else," and the new issue,
"Down Among the Sleepy Hills of Tennessee."
