Oriental Fox-trot Popular
"Sounds from the Orient," an Oriental fox-trot
published by South Bend Music Publishing Co.,
Inc., South Bend, Ind., is proving quite popular
with orchestra and band leaders throughout the
United States. The United States Navy Band,
Washington, D. C , has been featuring it in all
its programs. Four orchestras in Boston are
using it regularly.
Bert Cullen, with his
Cosmopolitan Orchestra; Karl Ginkel and Man-
hattan Society Orchestra, and Jessie Lobdell
are all enthusiastic over the number. Other
outstanding dance combinations are featuring
"Sounds from the Orient," as well as "Mara-
van" and "In Memoryland."
Crawford in the West
Robert Crawford, sales manager of Irving
Berlin, Inc., is touring the West, closing ar-
rangements for Fall and Winter campaigns on
the Irving Berlin catalog. While away Mr.
Crawford is especially featuring the new song
by Irving Berlin called "All Alone," which is
not only programmed in concert but is proving
exceptionally popular on the vaudeville stage.

The Review. In it advertisements are inserted

Pushes "Most Popular Songs"
Hinds, Hayden & Eldredge, publishers of the
"Most Popular Series" of music books, hns *ftt
out some trade and consumer literature which
calls particular attention to the availability at
all times of the books containing "The Most
Popular Songs for Every Occasion." The con-
tents of this book have songs that are appropri-
ate for Christmas, New Year's, Washington's
Birthday,.St. Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day,
Easter, and for all other noted occasions. It
has one hundred and seventy-five pages and the
contents, when brought to the attention of mu-
sic purchasers, should make it salable in every
season.
Featuring Marks Number
The song "There'll Be Some Changes Made,"
published by the Edward B. Marks Music Co.,
although about a year old, has shown some re-
newed activity in recent weeks. Marion Har-
ris, the well-known vaudeville and Brunswick
record star, who heard this number while tour-
ing the Pacific Coast, made an arrangement by
telegraph to restrict the number for her use on
Brunswick records. It has since proved one of
the best novelty songs in her program. Belle
Baker is another outstanding vaudeville star
using this number, and it is played by such or-
chestras as Ted Lewis and Fletcher Henderson.
Publish Gadman Opera
J. Fischer & Bro., the well-known publishers
of standard music, have just closed an arrange-
ment with Charles Wakefield Cadman whereby
they are to publish his one-act opera, "The Gar-
den of Mystery," which will receive its first
public performance in Carnegie Hall, New
York, on March 20 next. A book is by Nelle
Richmond Eberhart, who was also the col-
laborator with Mr. Cadman in "Shanewis."
New Place for P. S. Smith
PORTLAND, ORE., December 3.—The Seiberling-
Lucas Music Co. has secured the services of
Palmer S. Smith as manager of its small-goods
department. Mr. Smith has been in the small-
goods department of the Sherman, Clay & Co.
store since the department was installed a year
and a half ago. He is a musician of note, as it
is the policy of the Seiberling-Lucas Music Co.
to employ musicians whenever possible.
New Jack Mills Song
Jack Mills, Inc., has issued a new song enti-
tled "Nobody Knows What a Red-Headed
Mama Can Do." The number is already being
used by several vaudeville acts, and the atten-
tion it has created marks it as a favorite.

Jan Garber and his orchestra, who are to play
an extended engagement in Coral Gables, Flor-
ida, during the Winter season, are quite popular
with the officials of that State. John W. Mar-
tin, the Governor-elect of Florida, has selected
the Garber orchestra to play at the inaugural
ball next March. The interest that Floridians
take in this orchestra was recently shown when
Governor-elect Martin sent the following letter
to Mr. Garber:

PARIS, December 4.—During the height of the
season a new opera, by two Americans, will be
produced at Monte Carlo. It will be the first
time that a first production of an ail-American
opera will be given in France. The authors are
Joseph Redding and Templeton Crocker, the
latter being the librettist. The opera, which is
called "Fay-Yen-Fah," is a Chinese story, and
Redding's music is said to have a distinct

They first produced the piece in the form of
a musical play at the Bohemian Club in a Cali-

it as an opera. Last Summer they submitted it
