Billy James, Jack Harris and Louis Wolf Form
Company Largely for the Publication of Their
Own Numbers
The Janies-Harris-Wolf Publishing Co. has
been formed through the partnership of Billy
James, Jack Harris and Louis Wolf, at 1702
North liroad street, Philadelphia, in Wolf's
Talking Machine Shop. The three members of
the new publishing concern will engage in the
production of sheet music chiefly of their own
composition. Mr. James is well known as the
composer of "Cut Yourself a Piece of Cake"
and "Carolina Mammy" and other well known
hits. Among the publications to be printed are
the firm's specialties, "No Place Like Virginia,"
"You and 1 and the Moon," "After You Showed
Me How to Make Love" and the new radio
number, "Charley on the Radio," the latter
broadcasted on the radio and Victor. The firm
also distributes "Sunny Jim, the Kiddies' Pal."
Mr. Wolf has been engaged in the talking ma-
chine and music business in Philadelphia for
a little- over two years and conducts two stores
lure and another in New York. The Phila-
delphia stores are located at T'road and Colum-

Milt Hagen, writer of the A. J. Stasny hits,
"Heart-broken Rose" and "Play Me Slow," the
living Merlin success, "Yawning," and E. M.
Mark's "Trail O' My Heart," has written a
play entitled, "Reno-vated & Reno-mated," now
being produced at the Triangle Art Theatre in
Greenwich Village. The play is a satire on the
divorce colony in Reno, Nev., where Hagen vis-
ited one Summer on his way home to California,
l.eah Doffey and Charles Penman are the play-
ers featured and the action takes place in a
Pullman car in motion.

"Play Me Slow," a brand new high-class blues
written by Milt Hagen, writer of "Heartbroken
Rose," and Charles O'Flynn, looks like a
"natural," according to Paul Specht, Vincent
Lopez, Benny Selvin, Mike Speciale, Paul Van
Loan and other leaders who tried out the mel-
ody from the manuscript a few days ago.
As a result the A. J. Stasny Co., of 56 West
Forty-fifth street, have rushed out special or-
chestrations, made by the well-known arranger,
Al Moquin, who has just returned to his desk
after a prolonged illness. There are several ex-
ceptional "tricks" in "Play Me Slow" that make
the number particularly valuable for mechanical
reproduction.
One of the first big time vaudeville acts to
use the song is "Chief Little Wounds," with

Popular Sheet Music
Shows Gradual Revival
Bottom Point of Depression Passed and Steady
Advance Now Seen Ahead of the Trade
Sales of popular sheet music have somewhat
revived during the past ten days. Previously
they had hit their low mark of several seasons.
While it is true there is a long list of good songs
available for the music counters there seems to
be a feeling that some new and outstanding song
would arouse new interest.
The main thing is to lure people into the
music stores. This done, sales are not only
made of the number called for, but, invariably,
the prospective purchaser can be induced to buy
other songs or merchandise.
There is a tendency with some publishing
houses to withhold new songs for a more in-
viting period. If this is adhered to a distinct
revival in sales could be held off for a period
of weeks. Publishers may withhold exploitation
of sales activities for a short time, but having
meritorious numbers in manuscript form that
seemingly have good possibilities constantly
tempts them to issue the number. Most songs,
therefore, that should be exploited are generally
released without too long a delay, although
mistakes in judgment as to the opportune
moment are frequently made. With the slight

tendency for renewed activity of the past ten
days a more optimistic atmosphere is becoming
prevalent and the usual Spring and pre-Summer
campaigns will probably be carried out on as
large a scale as heretofore, if indeed it is not
larger. New Songs widely exploited and re-
newed activity on the more meritorious songs in
the older catalogs would, at least, command the
attention of the consumers and retailers and
would tend to get the most sales out of a none
too favorable situation.
"Nobody's Sweetheart"
Ben Bernie and His Orchestra, which opened
recently at the Hotel Shelbourne, at Brighton
Beach, have informed Jack Mills, Inc., that they
have received many requests for "Nobody's
Sweetheart," the Gus-Kahn Schoebel-Erdman
dance hit. Charley Doernberger, who, with his
famous Victor record orchestra, opened this
week at an exclusive Kansas City club, writes
that "Nobody's Sweetheart" is one of the favor-
ites of Kansas City dance "fans."
Play Jack Mills Numbers
Art Kahn, leader of the orchestra at the
Senate in Chicago, is featuring " 'Way Down in
Georgia," an unusually beautiful number, of
which he is the writer. The Kahn orchestra is
also exploiting "Hand in Hand," a novelty fox-
trot fantasy, of which Mr. Kahn is co-author.
Both of these numbers are published by Jack
Mills, Inc., and will be widely exploited by that
firm. The Art Kahn aggregation, incidentally,
is proving highly successful as recording artists
for the Columbia.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL., May 22.—The sheet music
department of Kohler & Chase is experiencing
a good demand for songs. The manager stated
that the sheet music business in this territory
has shown a decided improvement in May over
the past three months. Henry Grobe, of the
sheet music department, Wiley B. Allen store,
expressed satisfaction at the demand for sheet
music. He said that, especially in the matter
of standard music, he is finding radio broad-
casting advantageous in creating popular de-
mand for numbers, the people's reaction being
almost immediate.
