Directly for Motion Picture Organists

Number, "I'd Give It All for You," in Attrac-

Gene Buck in Charge of Program to Be Given
at Century Theatre on May 27
Hamilton S. Gordon, New York City, has
released a new organ series for the "Gordon's
Loose-Leaf Motion Picture Collection." The
composer is Walter C. Simon and the collection
is issued in two volumes (Opus 18). The ar-
rangements are most modern and should prove
particularly valuable to organists everywhere.
There has been a great need for development
of motion picture organists and any publications
tending to their education and the elaboration
of their work should be welcome.
The Gordon collection has been prepared with
great care and carries some particularly en-
lightening notes for organists' use. The mate-
rial is most comprehensive in character and
makes available a long range of works in sim-
plified form. The series also contains "original
organ marks," which are said to be more prac-
tical than the usual registration used on pipe
organ music.
Mr. Simon, who has given unusual study to
the needs of motion picture organists in his
introduction, says: "Owing to the fact that
most photoplay theatres have an organ, it might
be considered desirable to publish music with
three stave organ parts, but most organists in
motion picture theatres have *to read music at
sight and it is more practical to use a piano or
conductor's part."
Gene Buck will have charge of a series of
benefits planned by The Songwriters, a fra-
ternal organization consisting of the metropoli-
tan popular songwriters, to be held May 27
(Sunday night) at the Century Theatre, New
York.
A number of features are planned, including
specially composed marches by Victor Herbert
and John Philip Sousa. A distinguishing fea-
ture of the show will be that all the song mate-
rial employed will be absolutely new, never be-
fore heard, and most of it either awaiting publi-
cation or just in press. Louis A. Hirsch, Theo-
dore Morse and Lee S. Roberts are assisting
Buck with the show.
Each of the songwriters is framing a specialty
for the entertainment, which will be augmented

CHICAGO, III., May 5.—"I'd Give It All for You,"
one of the popular numbers of Eliza Doyle
Smith, Chicago publisher, was recently featured
by the Chas. E. Wells Music Co., of Denver,
Colo., in an attractive display. This number is
a recent release by the Chicago publisher. The
Chas. E. Wells Music Co., which is one of the
largest houses in Denver, Colo., sends an en-
thusiastic report to the publishers stating that
the result of the display was highly gratifying.
Eliza Doyle Smith has a catalog of thirteen
numbers advertised as the "lucky thirteen," in-
cluding the song hit, "Jonah," which is being
featured throughout the country.
POPULAR SELLERS IN PORTLAND
"JUST FOR TO=NIGHT" POPULAR
PORTLAND, ORE., May 4.—"The Singer," by
Elsa Maxwell and published by the Boston Mu-
sic Co., is having a good sale, according to
Kathleen Benoit Campbell, in charge of Mack's
Music Shop, at 124 Broadway. Sanderson's
"You Along o' Me," published by Boosey &
Co., is also active. Of the popular numbers that
are among the best sellers are Witmark's "Fate"
and Remick's "Failing."
Further proof of the return to popularity of
the waltz is demonstrated by the success of
the new Edward B. Marks number, "Just for
To-night." Originally popular on the European
continent, the number has been published for
American consumption in song form with a
lyric by Ballard MacDonald. The publisher has
planned an elaborate and extensive publicity
campaign on this new issue.
EDGAR F. BITNER RETURNS
Edgar F. Bitner, general manager of Leo
Feist, Inc., returned to his desk early this week
after a trans-continental tour of the country.
Mr. Bitner was accompanied by his wife and
while he called upon the trade in many parts
of the country the visits were more or less
social. The early part of his trip was made
through the Middle West, following which he
toured the Pacific Coast, returning East by the
Northwest route and Canada.

WASHINGTON, D. C, May 5.—Recent accessions

For fifteen years O. G. Sonneck, the chief,
labored to make the division representative of

become associated with G.-Schirmer's, Inc., New
York. The position was left unfilled until Jan-

Among the recent novelties iss-ued by G.
Schirmer, Inc., is a new addition to the "Chil-
dren's Songs Collection," by Edward Falck from
poems by Robert Louis Stevenson, issued under
the title "A Child's Garden of Verse," a series
of twenty-four songs. The book is described
as "eminently practical with catchy tunes simply
arranged and vocally possible for very small
children." Notwithstanding this simplicity, most
of the songs are adaptable for concert use by
adults and are already making appearances in
programs.
