style. It is a versatile number. It is an
appealing song and it has what makes ballads
sell—heart interest.
Dealers throughout the country have co-op-
erated with Irving Berlin, Inc., the publisher,
Irving Berlin's new song "All Alone" has
taken a prominent position on the sales coun-
ters throughout the country. The name of
Berlin on a song naturally gives any such new
offering immediate attention and a hearing.
This is all most of the Berlin songs need be-
cause the melody and the lyrics are persuasive
enough to close sales.
"All Alone" is not only played by a great
number of orchestras throughout the country
but it has taken a prominent position in vaude-
ville programs and in no few instances has
appeared in the repertory of concert artists.
The song is unusual for a popular number
inasmuch as it is readily available for both the
average vaudeville singer and to those of the
concert field who take great pride in their art.
Another attraction is that it can be sung in
strictly ballad song or in a syncopated fox-trot

"Rock-A-Bye Baby Days"

"Follies"
Eddie Cantor, who has played for a year at
the Earl Carroll Theatre, New York, in the
musical comedy, "Kid Boots," recently intro-

Display of "All Alone"
in presenting "All Alone" to the music-buying
public. Besides counter displays it has been
frequently given exclusive window showings.
Recently the J. G. McCrory store of Phila-
delphia, Pa., in conjunction with a campaign on
"All Alone" held in Philadelphia territory not
only displayed the title pages of "All Alone"
throughout the music department but dressed
one of the most attractive windows featuring
this song that has so far been arranged, as the
accompanying photograph shows.
Court Upholds Publisher
RICHMOND, VA., December 20.—Motion picture
houses and theatres must pay royalties to com-
posers or publishers when they use any portion
of a copyrighted song or air during their pro-
grams or performances, according to an opinion
rendered to-day by Judge John Rose, of the
United States Circuit Court of Appeals. He
affirmed the decision of the District Court at
Charleston, S. C, that the Pastime Amusement
Co. must pay M. Witmark & Sons, publishers,
for the use of a copyrighted song in its motion
picture theatre.
Charles R. Warfel Back
Charles R. Warfel, manager of the trade de-
partment of Hinds, Hayden & Eldredge, Inc.,
returned early this week following a ten-day
trip through some of the trade centers in New
England. Mr. Warfel will spend the holidays at
home, but plans a trip through the West shortly
after the first of the year.
Eddie Cantor
the Leo Feist song, "Rock-a-Bye Baby Days."
This undoubtedly is one of the most successful
Cantor songs he has sung in years and the re-
sult of this added publicity for this popular num-
ber has been reflected in the sales.
Owing to sickness in the family of Will
Rogers, who has a stellar role in this season's
Ziegfeld "Follies," he is out of that show and
making a hurried trip to his former home in
Oklahoma. During his absence his place is taken
each performance by Eddie Cantor, who again
introduces the Feist song "Rock-a-Bye Baby
Days." This gives this number two good plugs
in two of the leading musical successes now
playing in New York. Cantor takes special de-
light in the rendition of "Rock-a-Bye Baby
Days." It is the type of song that he can and
does sing well.
"Jest" Becomes Opera
ROME, ITALY, December 24.—A new opera by
Umberto Giordano, based on the play known
in the United States as "The Jest," which had
a considerable success in New York, was pro-
duced recently at the Scala Theatre in Milan.
