Wendell W. Hall Gomes
to New York for Recording
Well-known Singing Composer Completes

Record for Victor Co.
"Century
Preferred!
Jack Mills, Inc., has released its 1923 Dance
Folio. The contents contain some thirty num-
bers, including "Just a Girl That Men Forget,"
"Mr. Gallagher and Mr. Shean," "Love Is Just
a Flower," "House of David Blues" and other
outstanding selections. The Mills Co. plans to
nationally advertise this compilation.
The following news item appeared in the
Chicago Evening American, which is unusual
proof of the popularity of Wendell W. Hall,
the well-known singing composer, as a radio
entertainer:
For Wendell W. Hall, the "red-headed music
maker" of KYW and the Chicago Evening
American Westinghouse midnight shows, has
heard the call of the record studio. Mr. Hall
has left Chicago for New York for another
season at making his radio songs immortal on
Victor records. He made records of a number
of his ballads last Summer.
This time he will sing a number of new
"blues" which he has been singing for you
from station KYW. These songs are "Blue
Bird Blues," "Struttin' Hound," "Hoodo Blues"
and "Blue Island Blues."
He also is going there to get his book of
ukaditties in print. You remember Mr. Hall has
been singing these cute little ditties, called
Ukaditties, "over the air" and they have be-
come quite popular. So you will soon be able
to get all fifteen of them in book form.
While he is in New York he has made
arrangements to appear at station WEAF fif-
teen minutes an evening, five nights a week. So
Chicago radio fans who wish to hear him from
"over there" can do so during the next two or
three weeks.
However, he promises to hurry back home
to KYW and the Chicago Evening American-
Westinghouse revue.
Carrie Jacobs-Bond Is 111
Orchestras Play "Yawning"
HOLLYWOOD, CAL., January 10.—Carrie Jacobs-
Bond, song composer, is seriously ill at her
home here. Mrs. Bond has been ordered to
take a sea voyage, and if she is sufficiently
recovered will sail January 29 for Hawaii.
The Carrie Jacobs-Bond Week conducted by
the Boston Music Co. proved a big success,
according to all reports.
"Yawning," a new Irving Berlin, Inc., fox
trot just off the press, seems to have favor
with hotel orchestras, judging by the bands now
featuring the number, such as Paul Specht and
his Alamac Hotel Orchestra, Vincent Lopez and
his Hotel Pennsylvania Orchestra, Al Epps and
his Hotel Astor Orchestra, Harold Stern and
his Majestic Hotel Orchestra, etc. The number
is always received with applause.
