Demand for Numbers of This Publisher Made

CiiicAco, In.., February 16.—Without stretching
the truth it can be said that a remarkable suc-
cess has been achieved by the Hearst Music
Publishers since the opening of the Chicago
headquarters for the United States recently in
the Garrick Building.
This organization and. its publications have
tor some time been popular in Canada, the home
of the company. Several months ago, however,
plans were formulated to put the catalog
equally as effectively before the American public.
In this respect great strides have been made
since the formation of an organization here un-

der the direction of Thomas J. Quigley, well
known for his activities in the music business.
Orders shown The Review representative testify
that the Hearst numbers have found their way
to all sections of the country and the leading
music stores and distributors are ordering in
large quantities stimulated by the demand
created by the leading orchestras and acts that
are using the numbers. This demand has, per-
haps, been accentuated by good music and beau-
tiful title pages.
The numbers now leading the catalog are
"For-Get-Mc-Not," words and music by Harry
Hanbuig, Art Conrad and Frank Gillen; "You
Can Take Me Away From Dixie," words by
Roger Lewis, music by Fred Rose, the latter
the writer of "Don't Bring Me Posies"; "Only
a Butterfly," words by Clyde Hager and music
by Jerry Sullivan; "Waiting for You," words
and music by Al Short and Fred Rose, and
numerous other familiar tunes. Beginning
March 10 the four numbers just mentioned will
be featured in the Balaban & Katz Theatres
here simultaneously each week in the order
named.
So large have been the demands upon the
Chicago offices since the opening that the com-
pany has taken over another office on the same
floor in connection with the large suite they
occupy. This office, which will be made into
a sales department, gives several hundred addi-
tional square feet and meets a great need of
the firm.
