DEALERS SHOULD BE ON GUARD
Posing as Songwriters, Strangers Endeavor to
Cash Fraudulent Checks With Dealers
Dealers throughout the country should be on
their guard against strangers entering their
establishments posing as successful songwriters.
The names of most successful composers have
been used from time to time to cash fraudulent
checks and in other ways of obtaining money
under false pretenses. Recently, in Los Angeles,
Cal., one claiming to be Gus Kahn made his
appearance. He called upon the local Remick
store in that city and, naturally, was at first
well received, being a contributor to many of
the numbers in the Remick catalog. However,
a telegram to the Detroit office of the Remick
Co. brought back a reply from Gus Kahn
charging the Los Angeles Remick store to keep
an eye on the party using his name.
NEW SICKLER BLUES NUMBER
Jesse D. Sickler is the composer and publisher
of a song called "Tall Corn Blues." Mr. Sickler
is publishing the song from his home, Ogden,
la. It has had some popularity in the Middle
R.B
The Century Music Publishing Co. has just
added fifty new issues to its catalog. The num-
bers are being published with particularly at-
tractive title pages, which lend themselves ad-
mirably to display purposes. They include
vocal, piano, violin and piano, one or two violins
and a piano, and violin, 'cello and piano selec-
tions. The titles are all well-known works and
undoubtedly will have a readv sale.

CHICAGO, I I I . , April 7.—Forster Music Pub-
lisher, Inc., recently erected a large electric sign
that is entirely original in construction and ex-
ploits the late and popular numbers of this
house and its jobbers. The sign is located in a
prominent position, attracting from three to four
hundred thousand people who pass on the
streets and the elevators. Different numbers are
exploited from time to time. Those that are
being shown this week are "Mellow Moon,"
Forster's biggest seller; "Dearest," Irving Ber-
lin's number, and "Wonderful One."
"Underneath the Mellow Moon" is now one
of the most popular hits in the country and is
practically 100 per cent mechanically reproduced
on records and rolls.

STARTS CAMPAIGN ON NEW NUMBER
"PEPITA" SCORES BIG HIT
"You Tell Her, I Stutter" and "Dearest" Having
Good Run—"Rose of the Rio Grande," of
Stark & Cowan, in Demand
McKinley Music Co. Launches Campaign on
New Number "My Virginia Rose"—Other
Numbers Very Popular
PORTLAND, ORE., April 3.—Maud McCauley,
manager of the sheet music department of the
McDougall-Conn Music Co., states that the
sales of the Irving Berlin number, "You Tell
Her, I Stutter," are more than satisfactory and
she anticipates a big run on the number. The
"Rose of the Rio Grande," of Stark & Cowan,
Inc., is also going good and the Seiberling-
Lucas Co. has a big wall display of this number,
as well as one of "Dearest," the Irving Berlin
number.
"In the Sweet By and By" is a composition by
Cecil Teague, the composer-organist of the Ma-
jestic Theatre, which has appeared on the coun-
ters of all the sheet music dealers throughout
the city.
CHICAGO, III., April 7.—The McKinley Music
Co., publisher of the "World Famous Music"
and popular ballads, announces that an intensive
campaign has been started on the Summer song,
"My Virginia Rose." This is said to be the
most promising fox-trot number that the com-
pany has published for years and is meeting
with a big reception from the orchestras, as
well as acts. Phonograph recorders and music
I oil cutters are rapidly reproducing the number.
F. Henri Klickman, who wrote the music for
this number, and E. Clinton Keithley, who wrote
the lyric, have produced many big sellers for
the McKinley house, including their present
very big success, "The Trail to Long Ago."
This latter song now enjoys a nation-wide sale
and promises to be one of the biggest popular
successes of the season.
D. W. Foster, of the McKinley Music Co.,
reports that dealers are fast replenishing their
stocks after Easter and are showing a consider-
able interest in the sheet music business. Espe-
cially is this true of the standard songs and
tiie big hits. The McKinley standard teacher
and concert music which sells for 15 cents is
also enjoying a rapid growth.
The Oliver Ditson Co. issued some time ago
a Mexican operetta called "Pepita," with the
text by Philip A. Hutchins and music by Augus-
tus C. Knight. It has been performed several
times with success. A word from E. S. Pitcher,
Supervisor of Music in Public School, Auburn,
Me., as to its actual value, which we reproduce
below, is a better tribute to the worth of the
operetta than could be given by the reviewer
who has not had the opportunity of seeing it
played. He says: "We played 'Pepita' twice to
crowded houses and the audience was delighted
with the operetta, which was, in the general
opinion, the best ever given here. The princi-
pal of the school and the teachers were highly
pleased with the work."
The operetta is exceedingly good for such
productions as these.

YORK,
N. Y.
A report from the Vera Cruz, Mexico, Con-
sular District shows quite a demand for Ameri-
can band orchestrations and sheet music.
Nearly every city and town in the district has
a band generally specializing in classical and
semi-classical music, also marches, one-steps and
waltzes. Jazz music is not popular. Nearly
every home has a piano and popular songs find
an excellent sale.
