"BOMBO" SONGS FEATURED IN H. A. WEYMANN WINDOW
Songs Sung by Al Jolson Respond in Sales to Display Made by Philadelphia Music House—
"Morning Will Come" and "Don't Cry, Swanee," Proving Steady Sellers Along Route of Show
Some time ago Al Jolson introduced two new
songs in the musical show, "Bombo." Both of
the numbers are having active sales, particularly
BRINGING THE TANGO BACK AGAIN
Feist Number, "La Mome Tango," Used in Illus-
tration of Steps in Dance
Some of the leading dance orchestras of the
country are programming tango dances with the
object of reviving interest in this form of the
dance art which had some vogue several sea-
sons back. The indications of the return of the
tango have also been recognized by the press
and no little space has been devoted to explain-
ing what is generally considered the intricate
steps.
Recently a paper in Washington, D. C, illus-
trated the dance of Vanda Hoff, who has been
appearing in prominent functions in that city.
With the picturization of these steps an expla-
nation was given of the various movements.
The article went on to show that the tango,
which in most cases has heretofore been con-
in the territory where the Jolson show has ap-
peared. The numbers are entitled "Morning
Will Come" and "Don't Cry, Swanee."
Jolson songs have quite
a following and this in-
duces the trade to co-op-
erate with the publisher in
exploiting the numbers he
features. Many window
displays have appeared in
the retail establishments
throughout the country on
these latest two offerings,
some of them most attrac-
tive, and all naturally add-
ing to the sales of "Morn-
i n g W i l l Come" and
"Don't Cry, Swanee." We
reproduce a window re-
cently shown by H. A.
Weyinann & Son, Inc.,
Philadelphia. This is a
particularly attractive dis-
play, considering the small
space in which it appears
and which proves that the
proper arrangement of the
window will create atten-
tion. li» this instance the
>ales of the number during
the showing were substan-
tially increased over pre-
vious weeks. The cam-
paign on "Morning Will
Come" and "Don't Cry,
Swanee," will be continued
during the S u m m e r
months.
Proper window display
always justifies itself in
business.
fined to the dance stars, has now been simpli-
fied in a manner making the dance available for
all.
The Leo Feist, Inc., number, "La Mome Tan-
go," was used in presenting the above dance
and was taken by the paper as one of the most
prominent of this simplified tango dance music.
