"Charleston" on the Coast
Popularity of "Charleston" type of numbers
in Eastern territory has not been duplicated in
the Middle West. The Pacific Coast, however,
is showing inclinations of favoring this type
of melody. Tune-House, Inc., 1547 Broadway,
New York, publishers of "It's Too Bad Jim,"
carrying a Charleston rhythm, has found an
active demand for this number in Pacific Coast
territories.
"I Knew" a Hit
Over 300 letters have been received the past
week from high-class singers, both male and
female, who are singing Charles K. Harris' lat-
est barcarolle, "I Knew," who claims it to be
one of the most novel and unique songs written
in a decade.
A list of the prominent singers now using
this song is to be published shortly.

Him—His Latest Successful Compositions
KANSAS CITY, MO., June 22.—Willard Robison,
composer of several songs published by the J.
W. Jenkins Sons Music Co., has recently joined
Paul Whiteman in New York, taking his own
band with him. The two late issues, "Deep
Elm" and "Peaceful Valley," written by Mr.
Robison are being used by both his own and
the Whiteman bands.
"Peaceful Valley" has been quite a radio sen-
sation both locally and otherwise. In fact the
number has been called for repeatedly. Leo
Fitzpatrick, known as The Merry Old Chief,
has sung the song on the Kansas City Star
broadcasting programs with such response that
the Jenkins company has included his photo-
graph on the front cover of the publication.
The "Bouquet" has been popular on records
in the Jenkins record department as well as
other stores handling Victor records. The re-
cent release of dance record of that name,
played by the orchestra of the Kansas City
Athletic Club, Charles Dornberger, director, has
been especially good with the trade.

J. S. Downey, formerly of the Art Publication
Society, is now associated with Carl Fischer,
Inc., and left recently on his first business trip
representing that well-known publishing house.
Mr. Downey's will be a roving mission for the
purpose of arousing interest in Fischer prints
for the benefit of local dealers. His activity
will cover schools, conservatories and teachers
in the territory he covers. In every instance he
will work with local Carl Fischer representa-
tives and his methods should not only make
possible the selling of more Carl Fischer pub-
lications by the retailer but should also lend
itself to a closer relationship between the
dealer and the teaching fraternity.
