PORTLAND, ORE., October 20.—Portland was. the
mecca for several representatives of sheet mu-
sic publishers during the past week. The Ed-
ward B. Marks Music Co. was represented by
Bernard Prager of New York who is making
a visit to the Pacific Coast, having left the East
September 1. The Marks' Waltz song, "Colo-
rado," which was presented to the Portland
audience by the eight Victor artists at their re-
cent concert, produced a call for the number
and Paul Whiteman's rendition of "Walla
Walla," another success, also is going strong.
Chappell-Harms, Inc., was represented by Rich-
ard Howell, who was featuring the lovely "Song
of Songs" and "In the Garden of Tomorrow,"
written by Jessie Deppen. Irving Berlin, Inc.,
was represented by Bill Jacobs, who is always
welcomed by the Portland sheet music dealers
because of his excellent catalog. Bill on this
semi-annual trip was featuring especially "Char-
ley, My Boy," "What'll I Do," and "Red Hot
Mamma."
One of the steady-selling and really delightful
little songs of the Witmark Black and White
Series is "Just Been Wond'ring," by Irene Ack-
erman Canning, which is being sung by a num-
ber of concert artists and is a great favorite
in the vocal studios. Recently Sousa and his
band gave a concert in Manchester, N. H., and
included in the program was "Just Been
Wond'ring All Day Long," delightfully sung
by Miss Marjorie Moody. Mrs. Canning, who
is the wife of the manager of the Keith Theatre,
Manchester, was able to enjoy the Sousa con-
cert in person, despite her illness, and not the
least of her pleasures was the thrill she got
from the genuinely enthusiastic reception ten-
dered to her charming song when Miss Moody
sang it.
The Public Picks 'Em
Jai_k Mills, head of Jack Mills, Inc., well-
known popular publishing house, recently sug-
gested that the publishers hold "A World's
Series" which should be in the form of a con-
test in which the public would select the win-
ning hit of the year. The idea might have
some value as a publicity stunt to stir up addi-
tional interest in current popular successes, but
other than that the public is already selecting
the winners each season as the sales barometer
of popular successes readily demonstrates.
