No doubt there are many people in the coun-
try who are interested in knowing how Irving
Berlin and Ellin Mackey are enjoying their
European stay and whether they are as happy
as anticipated. In his new song, "At Peace
With the World," Irving Berlin seems to answer
all these questions. The publishers expect to
make it one of the biggest successes Berlin has
ever written, and have arranged an energetic
campaign to exploit the song. They will doubt-
less find a responsive public.
"Keep One Hour to
Remember Me" Goes Big
New Enoch & Sons Ballad by Callahan and
Grey Receiving Good Reception
One of the newest ballads of the better grade
was recently heard over the radio when Am-
brose Wyrick, popular radio tenor and Gennett
record recording artist, sang "Keep One Hour
to Remember Me" over station WUJ, Chicago.
Although the number has been off the press
for a short time, the reception given it by
artists in all sections of the country has been
most cordial and there have been some gratify-
ing advance orders which has convinced the
publishers, Enoch & Sons, that their confidence
in "Keep One Hour to Remember Me" was not
misplaced.

tensively
Readjustments have taken place in the plans
of Frank Clark, Inc., the popular music pub-
lishing firm with headquarters at 1587 Broad-
way, New York City, and announcements have
been made that the firm would not only con-
tinue to be an active factor in the popular field
but would continue the exploitation of its cata-
log along the intensive lines inaugurated by the
late Frank Clark.
Max- Stark, former head of Stark & Cowan,
Inc., and a well-known figure in popular circles,
with long experience as a publishing executive
and professional manager, is now the directing
head of Frank Clark, Inc.
The songs "Burgundy," "Roses," "Wanna Go
Back Again Blues," "Coal Miner's Dream" and
the several others this house has sponsored will
be continued in their prominent positions in the
Frank Clark, Inc. catalog.
Mills Song Widely Sung
Among the prominent singers featuring the
Jack Mills, Inc., song, "So Is Your Old Lady",
are Belle Baker, Sophie Tucker, Van and
Schenck, Dolly Kaye, Cross and Healy, Brookes
John, Will Mahoney, Rae Samuels and others.
This is enough evidence of its success as an
attraction. The sales of "So Is Your Old Lady"
have been steadily mounting and bear indica-
tions of being the biggest success Jack Mills
has issued for several years and that really
means a great deal.
