was just about three years ago. We are all
professional musicians here, each one of us
having served his time in everything from the
old town band up, and we haven't forgotten
how, either. We are serving musicians in every
State in the Union to-day, even getting orders
from distant customers we never heard of be-
fore and don't know how they ever got our
catalog, but guess it must have been through
of the
some of our good boosters."
In addition to this attractive catalog, the
firm issues another paper called "The Musical
Booster." This is printed bi-monthly for band
and orchestra musicians and contains many ar-
ticles of interest and note. Incidentally, good
foresight has been injected in the way of a
supplement
which is sent with this little paper,
for your direct benefit
giving a list of all the late publications for
band and orchestra.

The music counter in this store is one of the
best in the entire chain. The department is lo-
cated on the second floor and requires several
girls to hand out the late tunes. Miss Flossie
Gross Tomlinson is in charge of the counter.
I caught her smiling and she said, "Why not?
The department is going way ahead and there
are more hits on the market now than there
have been in many a moon. The clicking of

Hit of "Nick Nacks of Now"
"If You Were the Only Girl," as Sung by Dillon

diences
One of the most pretentious acts of the new
vaudeville season now playing the Keith-Albee
Circuit is "Nick Nacks of Now," an "intimate"
revue produced by Jay Dillon and Betty Par-
ker, who conceived and wrote the vehicle and
appear in it as the stars.
"Nick Nacks of Now" is in reality a minia-
ture revue for there are eight scenes and it
enlists the services of seven people. There
is singing and dancing, as well as several short

sketches. But above all, is the splendid sing-
ing of the two stars. Miss Parker is the pos-
sessor of a fine soprano voice, and Mr. Dillon, a
tenor, very ably seconds her in the rendition
of their songs.
Tlie principal number in the act is "If You
Were the Only Girl," a number from the cata-
log of Chappell-Harms, Inc. This song is a
beautifully melodious tune and, as sung by
Dillon and Parker, makes the big hit of their
act. From the reception that the number gets
it is evident that it will be one of the big hits
of the season. Its delightful rhythm also pre-
sents every aspect of being a genuinely good
dance number as well.
"Nick Nacks of Now" has been mounted very
beautifully by Dillon and Parker. Several of
the scenes arc quite on a par with those of a
Broadway revue, with metal cloth hangings and
heavy scenery. It is truly an unusually clever
and enjoyable act and has been a huge success
wherever it has played.
