land avenue, Syracuse, N. Y., have just issued
a new novelty number called "Why Sing About
Bananas When We've Peaches Everywhere?"
It is written by Al Moquin, Donald E. Win-
stead and L. S. Stafford. It carries six extra
choruses and should particularly appeal to
vaudeville performers looking for real novelty
during the Summer season. Professional copies
of the song are already being sent to a num-
ber of vaudevillians and orchestrations of the
number in fox-trot form will shortly be heard
on dance floors. The same firm has just re-
leased a new waltz number called "Thoughts."
This number has been tried out through sev-
eral orchestras and has shown indications of
becoming popular.

accomplished at the James Theatre by Maurice
Sharr, musical director there. The orchestra
and pipe organ combined on the number, with
Sharr playing it as a violin solo, together with
elaborate lighting effects and slides. For an
encore the song was still more effectively done
with a special arrangement for cornet and two
trombones against both orchestra and organ.
The result was a real musical presentation and
the Ball ballad, conceded to be his best since
"Let the Rest of the World Go By," received a
tremendous impetus in popular favor and sales.

REVIEW
Irving Berlin, Inc., intends to make a fea-
ture of Universal Dance Folio No. 9 and a
special effort will be made to make its sales
particularly active during the Summer. The
ukulele additions should do much to add to its
Summer sale as that is the favorite season for
the instrument. It is planned to have dealers
feature the Universal Dance Folio with win-
dow displays and also give it a conspicuous
position on the sales counter.
The sales department of Irving Berlin, Inc.,
has some very original advertising plans in
giving publicity to the Universal Dance Folio
and these will undoubtedly help keep this at-
tractive collection before music purchasers dur-
ing the coming months.
