THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
FEIST NUMBER, "TOOT, TOOT, TOOTSIE," IN DISPLAY
Chicago Dealers Feature Number Attractively During the Engagement in That City of Al Jol-
son's Musical Success, "Bombo"—Cut-Outs Prove Profitable Sales-Builder
During the long run of the Al Jolson musical
show, "Bombo," in Chicago, the Leo Feist,
Inc., number, "Toot, Toot, Tootsie," was inter-
polated as one of the feature songs. The suc-
cess of "Bombo" encouraged a number of sheet
music and talking machine dealers to give window
displays to the outstanding songs in sheet music
and record form. Among this series was the
accompanying display showing Al Jolson on the
observation platform of a speeding train with
Columbia records of the same title. The ma-
terial used "in the displays in every case proved
to be profitable to the dealers who used it.

Tootsie," shown to advantage. Surrounding the the leading moving picture houses, the Newark-
