Details
At a meeting of the Board of Directors of
the Harry Von Tilzer Music Publishing Co.,
James Fero was appointed treasurer of the firm
and Sammy Smith secretary. Harry Von Tilzer
continues as president, chief writer and general
director. This firm, in the past few months,
has made very rapid strides among other things
having taken large, well-appointed offices at
1587 Broadway, in the heart of the theatrical
district, an accessible location for vaudeville
performers, orchestra leaders and others.
Sammy Smith, who has been in Chicago with
two men carrying out a Middle West drive on
several of the Harry Von Tilzer publications,
is being joined by Mr. Fero, who will take an
active part in the further exploitation of the
firm's catalogs. Two numbers from the catalog
have already gone over on a wide scale, namely,

The tendency towards the restriction of a

heralded by Lyon & Healy, Inc., as a substan-
tial benefit to the trade.
In the past many compositions have been
