Orton Bros., Butte, Mont., one of the best­
known music establishments of the Far West,
dealers in Chickering and Kimball, as well as
other makes of pianos, give considerable atten­
tion to the sheet music department, as well as
their small goods section. Not only is minute
attention given the needs of pupils, teachers
and conservatories and their demand for s tand­
ard music of all types, but, in addition, the
prominent popular selections of the current
period are exploited in a manner to get the
largest volume of sales out of the demand
crea ted for them.
Among the popular numbers that have been
given this unusual attention by Orton Bros.
during the present Fall season is "Waltz Me

mental success from the catalog of the A. J.

MAKING A RECORD IN RECORD TIME
Lopez Records Forster's "Amber Nights" Four
Days After Receipt in Manuscript Form
What is without question the fastest time
ever made in getting out a record of a popular
number was recently accomplished by Vincent
Lopez and His Pennsylvania Orchestra. On
Tuesday, November 13, Dan Winkler, Eastern
representative for Forster, Music Publisher,
Inc" received a manuscript piano copy o,f a song
called "Amber Nights"; on Wednesday, Novem­
ber 14, he took it to Vincent Lopez, who liked
thenllrnber so' well he booked it for his next
recordi'ng date, Saturday, Novemb'e r 17. Wink­
ler was doubtful that it would be possible to
make the orchestrations, etc., for that date, but
Lopez insisted that with the perfect functioning
of his organization it was more than possible
a nd he would prove ·it.
So, four days after the song was rec,eived in
New York, Lopez had an arran ge ment of the
number made and recorded a record and, in ad­
dition, the same night broadcasted "Amber
Nights" with the new arrangement. F. J. A. For­
ster, head of the puhJishing organization bear­
ing hi, name, "listened in" at the Lopez rendi­
tion from his Chicago residence. All of which is
mighty fast work and demonstrates that the
popular publisher, with the co-operation of the
successful, modern orchestra leader, can take
advantage of the speed and rapidity available
through modern inventions to get quick action
on numbers of merit.

contributed many successful sellers to the popu­
lar field during the past two years. Yellen will
be more recently remembered for "Lovin' Sam,"

ber and "I Wanna Go Home" a fox-trot; both
are ballad form in lyrics.

CLEVELAND. 0., November 26.- A new method
for increasing interest in music locally by an
individual firm has been started by the Artists
Publishing Co., of which David P. Pringle is
president. Cleveland has never had a perpetual
freE' concert of the latest music published, and it
is with that idea in mind that quarters have
been opened in the musical instrument estab­
lishment of H erman Wodika, at 822 Prospect
avenue. This store is unusually well located,
being in the heart of one of the principal busi·
ness avenues of the downtown district, and hav·
ing two entrances, the rear being on Huron
road. Th ese avenues run almost parallel, but it
is a long way around the block for people to
get from on e to the other The Wodika store,
with this change, will be made a veritable ar·
cade, with people using it in going from one
thoroughfare to the other. The business-pulling
power of this feature alone is significant.
In addition, a singer, with megaphone, will
sing rrumbers throughout the day and evening.
Likewise, Mr. Wodika, who conducts several
orchestras in town, plans to have twice-a-week·
concerts by his orchestras, these also playing

Michigan for the Artists Publishing Co. He

ing the war,. singing for American soldiers in
