New Spencer Williams Blues
The Melody Music Co., 1547 Broadway, New
York, has just released a new song from the pen
of Spencer \yilliams, the popular blues com-
poser, entitled "Trombone Blues." The num-
ber was recently tried in vaudeville throughout
Brooklyn by Wilbur C. Sweatman's Orchestra,
and is now being featured nightly at Roseland,
Fifty-first street and Broadway, by Fletcher
Henderson's Orchestra, and Billie Fowler's Or-
chestra at the Club La Petite. So successful has
the little plugging on the number proven that
the publishers immediately decided to launch
one of the biggest campaigns on this number
ever afforded a blues song. Several of the lead-
ing mechanical companies have already recorded
the tune.
"China Girl" Issued
Sherman, Clay & "Co. have issued a new song
called "China Girl," the words and music of
which are by Henry Halstead, Don Warner and
I.oiiis Singer. The number is issued with spe-
cial ukuTete arrangement in the piano copy. The
Sherman-Clay organization issues only a mini-
mum number of popular compositions each sea-
son. These, however, invariably carry the type
of melodies that have made the Pacific Coast
compositions popular. "China Girl" is no ex-
ception.
