DENVER, COLO., February 8.—Miss Nell Frost, of
the Denver Co.'s sheet music department, says
there seems to be no let-up on the sale of
"Three o'Clock in the Morning." More than a
thousand copies of it have been sold thus far.
A new song, "If Love Were All," put out by
Richmond-Robbins, Inc., promises to have quite
a run. "Call Me Back, Pal of Mine," is another
big seller and the Fred Fisher, Inc., "Chicago"
is going strong. "Honeymoon Time," a new-
waltz, heard at the Orpheum Theatre the past
week, is being called for.
Arthur A. Hauser, representing Carl Fischer,
and George W. Furniss, of the Oliver Ditson
Co., were callers in this department a few days
ago en route to the Pacific Coast.
Bill Jacobs, of Irving Berlin, Inc., was also
a caller. "Aunt Hagar's Blues" is one of the
much called-for song hits. Another visitor was
Henry Orr, of Sherman, Clay & Co.
CHICAGO, I I I . , February 10.—Beginning Febru-
ary 1 the Forster Music Publisher, Inc., 235 South
Wabash avenue, through the aid of Wendell
Hall, manager of its promotion department,
started an intensive campaign on its new hits,
including "Mellow Moon," "Thru the Night,"
"Fuzzy Wuzzy Bird" and several others.
Wendell Hall, known as the radio ragtime
king, has had wide experience in promotion
work. He is especially known through his pop-
ularity in introducing the Ludwig song whistle,
made by Ludwig & Ludwig, drum manufac-
turers of this city. He "was also head of the
Dellwoods Music House and is thoroughly fa-
miliar with the publishing business.
With the aid of Elizabeth Forsyth, who is
on the professional staff of the Forster Music
Publisher, Inc., Mr. Hall will appear through-
out the city in many theatres and concert halls,
featuring "Mellow Moon" and other numbers
with a xylophone program. The program has
already been given at several theatres with
great success, as Mr. Hall appeared on Febru-
ary 1 at Orchestra Hall and on February 4 at
the Stratford Theatre. Following this a pro-
gram was given at the Lyon & Healy Concert
Hall on February 12. He will appear at Sen-
ate Theatre on February 25, as well as at sev-
eral other houses.
The American Society of Composers, Authors
and Publishers, which some time ago arranged
a form of contract whereby radio broadcasting
stations throughout the United States would
pay various royalties to the Association based
upon the area covered, announces that the
license agreed upon under the new contract was
effective February 1. It is understood that legal
action will be taken by the Association against
broadcasting stations which fail to arrange for
license. The annual meeting of the members
of the Association will be held the evening of
March 1 at Keene's Chop House, West Forty-
first street, New York.
PAULL STILL CONFINED TO HOME
E. T. Paull, head of the E. T. Paull Music
Co. and secretary of the Music Publishers'
Association of the United States, has been ab-
sent from his office for over a- period of six
weeks owing to a severe attack of synovitus
rheumatism. While Mr. Paull is slightly im-
proved it is understood he will be unable to be
at his office for some time to come.
