Miss Helen Moore, the soprano who lias ap-
peared at the many motion picture houses
the presentation of the Mary Pickford photo-
play "Rosita," the management arranged for
Miss Moore's appearance. She was staged in
the prologue for this picture show in conjunc-
tion with the vocal rendition of the melodious
Spanish fox-trot and song "Rosita" from the
Sam Fox Publishing Co. Catalog. Miss Moore
was attired in a Spanish dancer's costume and
interpolated a snappy Spanish dance, giving a
most realistic opening for the silent drama
"Rosita." This number was also used as a
musical theme throughout the showing of the
picture.
Finds Marks Numbers
in Wide Popularity
Charles Lang and Bernard Prager So Report
After Returning From Trips Through Mid-
West, New England and Canada
'
Helen Moore
throughout the country, has found such audi-
ences most responsive. Her work in the photo-
play field has caused more than a little com-
ment and the fact that she is invariably booked
for return engagements speaks well for the
merit of her programs. On more than one occa-
sion she has appeared at the Sheridan Theatre,
Greenwich Village, New York, so, in planning

Charles Lang, sales manager for the Edward
B. Marks Music Co., and Bernard Prager, assis-
tant sales manager, recently returned to New
York after completing their first trip of the
year, which started New Year's week. Both
covered different routes, including the New
England, mid-Western and Canadian territories.
In the Middle West and in New England
these hustlers found that some of the Marks
numbers had already been in demand. Among
these were "I've Been a Fool," which was listed
among the best sellers in Minnesota. "Colo-
rado," the waltz, was a favorite in many cities.
Eddie Leonard had preceded Charles Lang with
his vaudeville act throughout the country, with
the result that Lang found calls waiting for
"Oh Didn't It Rain," the famous minstrel's big-
gest hit since "Ida."
Similar reports are being received from other
sections of the country.

Spontaneous Tribute to
the Late Woodrow Wilson
Roland Hayes, Tenor, Sings Ditson Publication
"Goin' Home" at Recital at Symphony Hall,
Boston
At his recital on Sunday afternoon following
the death of ex-President Wilson, the great
negro tenor, Roland Hayes, stepped to the front
of the platform at Symphony Hall, Boston,
Mass., and holding up his hand for silence, said
simply: "I have just learned of the passing
of a great soul and am going to sing something
you will find appropriate." In the profound
played in Carnegie Hall, New York, thirty years
ago, this same haunting melody moved the
audience to tears. That it should have spon-
taneously suggested to Mr. Fisher, Dvorak's
pupil, the words "Goin' home" in the form of
a negro spiritual was only natural, and its sing-
ing on Sunday by the greatest of negro singers
made the occasion unforgettable to all present.
Herewith is an Oliver Ditson Co. window
dressed during the week of Mr. Hayes'
appearance.
