Abe Olman, head of the recently organized
music publishing firm of Olman, Inc., with
offices at 148 West Forty-sixth street, New
York City, announces a concentrated campaign
on two of the leading numbers of the Olman
catalog. The songs selected fOT this special
exploitation are "I Thank You" and "I Wanna
Go Home." These numbers were written by
Jack Yellen and Abe Olman, both of whom have
contributed many successful sellers to the popu­
lar field during the past two years. Yellen will
be more recently remembered for "Lovin' Sam,"
"Louisville Lou" and "\Vho Cares" and 01­
man probably never will be forgotten for his
"Oh! Johnny, Oh!", "Karavan" and "Down by
the O-H-I-O." "I Thank You" is a waltz num­
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

be broadcasted by one of the local radio sta­
tions at least once a week.
This enterprise will be managed by George
N. Seegitz, well-known local baritone singer.
Mr. Seegitz covers Ohio, Pennsylvania and
Michigan for the Artists Publishing Co. He
made a name for himself as an entertainer dur­
ing the war,. singing for American soldiers in
France. He has been associated with prominent
music publishers. Lately he has been doing
much to increase interest in music and attract
