BERLIN NUMBERS BIG IN WEST
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.
