THE
136
Secures Rights to "If
You Were the Only Girl"
Chappell-Harms to Put Big Campaign Behind
Number—"In the Garden of To-morrow" Go-
ing Well
"Songs that leave a lasting impression" might
well be the slogan of the house of Chappell-
Harms, Inc., which, in exploiting its publications,
has widely established such a reputation. Many
of its numbers have become universal favorites.
Such songs as "The World Is Waiting for the
Sunrise," "Roses of Picardy" and "Song of
Songs" readily come to mind. During the past
season the Chappell-Harms outstanding success
was "In the Garden of To-morrow," a beautiful
melody ballad which is becoming increasingly
popular.
Chappell-Harms, Inc., has secured the Ameri-
can publishing rights of "If You Were the Only
Girl." This song was a tremendous hit in Lon-
don, and it doubtless will duplicate its success
here, particularly as the American publisher in-
tends to arrange a campaign of wide scope and
of intensive character for its exploitation.
Another late publication in the catalog of
Chappell-Harms is entitled "By My Fireside."
Lieut. Gitz-Rice, who is the composer of "Dear
Old Pal of Mine," is responsible for this num-
ber, which already has made an impression
among concert, radio and vaudeville artists. It
apparently has unusual possibilities.
The plans for 1926 of Chappell-Harms, Inc.,
will be an adherence to its established policy of
issuing melody ballads of character.
New Publications by
the Oliver Ditson Go.
Six Rhythmic Pieces for the Piano by Mari
Paldi and Number of Others Have Just Been
Released
A new publication has just been issued by the
Oliver Ditson Co. called Six Rhythmic Pieces
for the Piano. It is by Mari Paldi and includes
such numbers as "Fantastic Dance," "The Jug-
gler," "Minuet," "Polka Francaise," "Spring
Time" and "Valse Espagnola," complete in one
volume. The publication has been given a very
attractive cover, with silhouette dance figures
lending the appropriate atmosphere to the music
enclosed.
There is also a new publication, arranged for
four hands, by George F. Hamer, called "Ma-
jesty of the Deep," which will prove particularly
interesting to teachers and students.
For the piano there have been added Alfred T.
Mason's "The Lure of the Sea," G. Bonaldi's
"'On the Go," and to the piano solos of Carl
Wilhelm Kern have been added "Silver Flash,"
a little number by Mathilde Bilbro for the piano
called "Little Cavatina," and two other offer-
ings from the pen of Frederick A. Williams
called "Judy" and "In Colonial Days." Jane
Munn Spear has written a series of three num-
bers for the piano called "Flowers From My
Garden"; each is preceded with a short poem by

New Numbers Added
to the Feist Catalog
DECEMBER 12, 1925
Lew Pollack Will
Visit Chicago District
Will Direct Campaign on "In Your Green Hat,"
Ager, Yellen & Bornstein's New Number,
There
Lew Pollack, the song writer and an execu-
tive member of the professional department of
Ager, Yellen & Bornstein, Inc., will, shortly
after the first of the year, spend several weeks
in the Chicago territory, arranging the cam-
paign of his company on the firm's new song,
"I'm Sitting on Top of the World," "Five Foot
Two, Eyes of Blue" and "Everybody Stomp"
Among the New Compositions
Among the new songs added to the catalog
of Leo Feist, Inc., are "I'm Sitting on Top of
the World," "Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue"
and "Everybody Stomp." There is also a new
song by the writers of the song, "The Pal That
I Loved," called "Be on the Level With Mother"
(and the World Will Be Square With You).
On the new Feist list also we see the revival
of Joe McCarthy's and Jimmie Monaco's "If We
Can't Be the Same Old Sweethearts" (We'll
Just Be the Same Old Friends). This number
has been heard frequently on the radio with the
result that a demand has been created for it. In
its new form it is issued in the regulation stand-
ard size and has been given a very attractive,
modern title page.

Kahn Writing Symphony
Roger Wolfe Kahn is completing a jazz sym-
phony to be known as "Americana," the basis
of which are the most famous of the negro
spiritual themes. It is understood that one of
the talking machine record manufacturers has
made arrangements to make the first mechani-
cal rendition of this composition.
"Moonlight in Mandalay"
"Moonlight in Mandalay" is the title of a new
fox-trot added to the catalog of Jack Mills, Inc.,
148 West Forty-sixth street, New York City.
Both the professional and band and orchestra
department of the Mills organization expect the
number to have big popularity from the first
returns.
House Sends Out Substantial Mounted Covers
Which are Convenient and Useful in Proper
Display
The problem of dealer window and counter
displays has been given study by Peters Edi-
tion, which has prepared substantial mounted
"covers" which can be substituted for the actual
copies of the edition for window and counter
use. These covers are available for all dealers
in the Peters Edition.
Mr. Hinrichsen, American representative of
Peters Edition, states that this method has
many advantages over the old method of dis-
playing actual copies of the music. They do
not become shopworn, torn, and they keep in
shape over a long period. When laid flat in the
window the new covers have the appearance of
actual scores. They lend themselves to any
sort of display and can be grouped in a manner
