EXPECTS THE TANGO TO COME BACK
In Anticipation of Revival of That Dance Leo
Feist, Inc., Buys "La Mome Tango"
In recent months there have been several
announcements in dancing circles to the effect
that the tango was coming back. However, it
has been a long time making its appearance in
the United States, although reports from Lon-
don seemingly indicate that it is a prevalent
dance there this season. There now are some
indications that it may yet have a vogue here,
though it is only occasionally that a real tango
is played by American orchestras. At least
one publisher is under the impression that the
tango is to return, as is indicated through the
acceptance by Leo Feist, Inc., of the French
popular dance, "La Mome Tango," written by
Emile Doloire, orchestra leader of the Folies
Bergere.
SAM FOX SAILS_FOR LONDON
Sam Fox, head of the Sam Fox Publishing
Co., of New York and Cleveland, O., sailed
for London on the Cunarder "Berengaria" on
Tuesday of this week. It is understood that
Mr. Fox while in England will close arrange-
ments for a new English representation for his
house. Negotiations for such an arrangement
have been under way for some time and those
interested are considering opening an English
house carrying the Fox trade name.
NEW NUMBERS IN FEIST CATALOG
Among the new songs recently added to the
catalog of Leo Feist, Inc.., is a ballad entitled
"Crying for You," by the writers of last season's
success, "Why Should I Cry Over You?",
"Jennie," a new fox-trot, and "La Mome
Tango." The latter number is being heard fre-
quently in dance circles with the indications of
the revival of the tango. "Runnin' Wild" and
''Apple Sauce," two other recent additions, are
both having good popularity, particularly the
former, which has had a feature place on many
dance programs during recent weeks.
WANTS TO LICENSE MUSIC TEACHERS
City Chamberlain of New York Suggests Legis-
lation to Control That Profession
Harold Dellon and Jack Stanley have formed
a new music publishing company known as
I)ellon-Stanley, Inc., organized under the laws
of the State of New York and incorporated for
$5,000.
Dellon was for several years professional man-
ager of Harms, Inc., and Stanley is well known
as a songwriter. The Dellon-Stanley catalog
at present comprises nine numbers, some of
which are going into productions.
Temporary offices have been arranged in the
Knickerbocker Building, New York.
Philip Berol/heimcr, City Chamberlain, has
written to Mayor Hylan asking him to recom-
mend to the Legislature that a law be passed
iorcing the licensing of music teachers as a
protection to the public and to the musical pro-
iession. Last August the Mayor appointed Mr.
Berolzheimer a committee to investigate the
question because of the number of complaints
received from the citizens who had been de-
frauded by incompetent teachers.
In his letter to the Mayor Mr. Berolzheimer
attaches a report submitted by a sub-com-
mittee which included Dr. William C. Carl, of
the Guilmant Organ School, and Dr. Frank
Damrosch, director of the Institute of Musical
Art. He adds:
"Your committee is of the opinion, especially
in view of the keen interest evinced in music
by your Honor during your five years' admin-
istration, that it might be well to go one step
further in this interest and make an attempt
to protect both the public and the music teach-
ing profession. It could take concrete form of
a recommendation to the Legislature that some
law be passed for this purpose. In fact, we
believe with many others that eventually we
shall come to the State licensing of music teach-
ers under the auspices of recognized leaders of
the profession acting in an advisory capacity to
the authorities. This would put them in the
same attitude toward the public as the members
of the legal and medical professions."
A new blues song written by Milt Hagen
and Charles O'Flynn, the title of which has not
as yet been, selected, will soon be released by
the Clarence Williams Music Co., Gaiety The-
atre Building, New York City, publisher of the
well-known success, "Sister Kate."
Los ANGEI.KS, CAL., February 16.—The rapid
growth of the College of Music of the Univer-
sity of Southern California and its increasingly
high position among similar institutions has
resulted in a development program for the music
school in which $200,000 will be spent.
IMPORTANT DITSON PUBLICATIONS
Two Particularly Interesting Masses Included in
Recent Issues by Boston House
In addition to the most interesting group of
part songs for mixed voices, for men's voices,
for women's voices and for school use, which
includes such important features as Dvorak's
"Goin" Home," the Volga "Boatmen's Song" and
rCdgar Belmont Smith's "Creole Love Song,"
recent issues by the Oliver Ditson Co., Boston,
embody an impressive Mass in B flat by Henry
Farmer, designed for solo, chorus and orches-
tra, and Mozart's Twelfth Mass in G, works
that are particularly appropriate for Easter-
time.

a hit as any Southern ditty
of recent years. Its extremely
catchy melody and infectious
rhythm are -mainly responsible
for this, and the song, pub-
lished by M. Witmark & Sons,
is equally popular with the
dancers and orchestra leaders
all over the country. Prob-
ably nowhere did "Carolina
Home" go over bigger than it
did last week at the Maryland
Theatre in Baltimore, where
it was splendidly and most ef-
fectively featured by Maureen
Englin and the Southland
Entertainers. Commemorating
this engagement in great style
was the splendid window dis-
play all week by the S. S.
Kresge Co., in Baltimore. A
