Los ANGELES, CAL., January 27.—Arrangements
Hinds, Hayden & Eldredge, Inc., has issued
a new song, entitled "Lincoln," which is quite
appropriate for February concerts and trade
displays. The words of the number are by Ed-
win Liebfreed, with music by Robert Braine.
The title page carries a reproduction of the
marble head of Lincoln from a photograph of
George Grey Branard's bust, which was do-
nated to France and will be in the Luxembourg
Gallery in Paris. Due to a clever carving of
the eyes, properly placed lighting gives them
the effect of opening and closing, an optical
illusion uncanny in its realism. The frontis-
piece vividly carries out these effects.
The Richmond Music Supply Corp., 133 West
Forty-first street, New York City, one of the
best-known sheet music jobbing organizations
in the United States, has extended its activities
and is now stocking talking machine supplies
and accessories and will also introduce to sheet
music dealers a line of popular-priced talking
machine records.
The Richmond Music Supply Co. is headed
by Maurice Richmond, who for the past twenty-
five years has been connected with some of the
leading jobbing organizations of the United
States.. Max Mayer, the treasurer of the com-
pany, recently returned from a visit to the
leading trade centers in the East and states that
he found the retailers most active everywhere.
are completed and fixtures already installed for
a sheet music department in the George J.
Hirkel Co.'s store. The department will be
owned and managed by Hatch and Mathews,
who are well experienced in the business, H. W.
Hatch having been with the Los Angeles
branch of G. Schirmcr, Inc., and with the Hatch
Music Co., of Philadelphia, while Mr. Mathews
was for three years retail sales manager of
Schirmer's Los Angeles branch.
R. NEIL WRIGHTMAN IN THE WEST
R. Neil Wrightman, head of Wrightman,
Music Publisher, 20 East Jackson Boulevard,
Chicago, 111., is now making a trade trip through
Middle West territory, featuring the firm's song,
"When Uncle Sammy Blows That Pay Day
Song." This number is known as the National
Bonus Song and has been featured by many
American Legion Quartets. At the National
Convention of the American Legion held in
New Orleans, La., last Fall it was rendered by
the Legion Quartet of Post No. 34. The pub-
lisher is extending unusual co-operation to the
trade in exploiting this issue and this includes
some attractive advertising helps.
