Air. Openshaw has" written a number of bal-
lads and he, undoubtedly, was surprised at the
remarkable success of his latest offering. In
speaking of the achievement he said: "I always
thought that I would be terribly elated and set
up if I ever did achieve a really successful song,
but somehow it leaves me quite cold. I don't
feel a bit different than any time during the fif-

as emotion does to reason, or so I find it.
An unfortunate paradox in songwriting is
that you can't be a songwriter until you have
been a successful songwriter! It's only then
that you can afford to devote yourself to com-
posing!"
Irving Berlin, Inc., is exploiting what is ap-
parently one of the best ballads of the season,
"If the Rest of the World Don't Want You"
(Go Back to Your Mother and Dad). This
number is being widely exploited by vaude-
ville singers and dance orchestras.

Wigler Goes on Road
for Irving Berlin, Inc.
Will Cover New York, Pennsylvania, Baltimore
and Washington for House—Now on His
Initial Trip for Firm
Samuel Wigler, a member of the sales and
advertising staff of Irving 13erlin, Tnc, has been
appointed traveling representative for the firm
and will cover New York, Pennsylvania, Bal-
timore and Washington. Mr. Wigler, who has
been studying to be an attorney, found the
popular sheet music field so fascinating as to
lure him away from his student activities. On
his present trip he will feature the permanent
sellers, "Sittin' in a Corner" and "That Old
Gang of Mine," as well as new offerings, in-
cluding "Mindin' My Bus'ness," "If the Rest of
the World Don't Want You," and the songs
from Irving Berlin's "Music Box Revue" and
the musical show, "Topsy and Eva."
Songwriters Hold Frolic
The Songwriters of America held a frolic at
the Earl Carroll Theatre the evening of Feb-
ruary 28. This is an annual event with this
new organization, its purpose being to gather

funds for a Songwriters' Club House. At a
recent meeting of this organization a plan to
induce the press and the public, to discard "Tin-
pan Alley" as a designation for the music pub-
lishing district was proposed.
Martin Numbers Widely Sung
Enoch & Sons, who have been featuring a
number of compositions of Easthope Martin,
have found a willing response from concert
artists and other vocalists during the present
season. Among those who are giving the works
of this composer a prominent place upon their
programs is Frank Parker, baritone and teacher
in Utica University, who has been using chan-
teys from "Way of a Ship." Byron M. Hat-
field, who recently appeared in a recital at the
Metropolitan Opera House, used the Martin
song, "Come to the Fair."
Features "Rosita" on Tour
Felix Ferdinando and His Havana Orchestra,
direct from Hotel Almendares, Havana, Cuba,
headlined the bill at the Broadway Theatre
recently. Their special feature number is
"Rosita," the new Spanish tango hit of the Sam
Fox Publishing Co. catalog. The elaborate
Cuban atmospheric setting blends very well with
this number and the orchestral arrangement
used is quite effective, giving full play to the
guitars and mandolins. The number received
applause. Mr. Ferdinando and His Havana
Orchestra will use "Rosita" throughout their
present vaudeville engagement, due to the suc-
cess the number has achieved.

Friedman With Johnston Go.
Leo Friedman, who has been sales manager
for several well-known popular music publish-
ers, has taken over the managerial reins of the
Earle Johnston Music Co* 1658 Broadway, New
York City. Two songs, of which the late Earle
Johnston was co-author, are being exploited by
the company. They are "I Could Be Laughing
With Somebody Else") But I'd Rather Cry Over
You), and "When You're Tired of Calling Me
Sweetheart, You Can Always Call Me Pal."
Earle Johnston will be remembered as one of
the writers of "When the Leaves Come Tum-
bling Down." Sam Coslow and John Ricca
were the collaborators.
