NEW RICHMOND=ROBBINS NUMBER
"She Wouldn't Do," Comedy Fox-trot, Already
Meeting With Wide Popularity
Richmond-Robbin s, Inc., has released a new
novelty comedy fox-trot song, entitled "She
\Vouldn't Do. " The song was originally re­
Itased with a few orchestrations to some of the
leading Broadway dance orchestras. These or­
ganizations invariably included a vocal rendi­
tion when playing the number, with the result
that it jumped into immediate popularity.
The publisher, therefore, has started an exten­
sive campaign on "She Wouldn't Do" and this
includes a wide distribution of orchestrations
with special arrangements with lyrics cued in.
Among the orchestras who have taken the num­
ber up is Gene Rodemich, who records exclu­
sively for the Brunswick records and who makes
St. Louis his headquarters.
ITALO MONTEMEZZI ARRIVES
Well-known Italian Operatic Composer Now
Visiting the United States
Italo Montemezzi, composer of several operas,
among them "The Love of Three Kin~s," ar­
rived here last week on the "Conte Rosso," o.f
the Lloyd Sabaudo Line, accompanied by his
wife, the former Miss Catherine Leith, of this
city, whom he married in Paris three years ago.
He said he was at work on a new opera named
"Paul and Virginia."
Signor YIontemezzi said that permanent opera
companies could be maintained in every Ameri­
can city if the Government carried out the plan
in effect iII j\lIilan, where the theatres and movie
houses were compelled to divert 2 per cent of
their proceeds for the expenses of La Scala.
"In this way good art could be built up at
the expense of, poor art;" he said.
Signor Monteme zz i is one o,f the leading
Italian composers today.
