All Sections of Country
Feist Number Being Exploited Widely by
Dealers and Bringing Home the Money to Its
Backers
The Leo Feist, Inc., success, "Horses," is cer-
tainly one of the most novel numbers that has
been issued in years. It is of an entirely dif-
ferent type to anything in the popular line that
has been heretofore presented, and its originality
applies to both the words and the music.
Examples of the unusual possibilities in at-
tracting the attention of music purchasers to
"Horses" are shown by enterprising dealers in
various parts of the country through original
window displays. Bailey's Music House in
Spokane has a window of wooden horses,
stuffed horses, toy horses of various sizes, a
saw-horse and a large horse borrowed from a
harness shop. Among these figures are plenti-
fully displayed the sheet music, records and
rolls of "Horses," with a prominent sign read-
ing, "This Is the House of Music—But We Sell
Horses."
Another dealer of Louisville, Ky., has a win-
dow full of playing cards and on each card is
the name of a horse entered in the Kentucky
Derby. Scattered among the cards is an as-
sortment of records, rolls and sheet music of
"Horses."
Bandmasters at all the Spring race meetings
are playing "Horses" as their feature number,
and the Central Park Riding Club in New York
City ordered 200 copies of it, presumably for its
members. "Horses" is certainly big, and with
the appropriate Summer season coming on it
should be even bigger. "Horses" is so novel
that there is hardly any likelihood of one tiring
of its melody, as witness John O'Donnell, the
radio critic of the New York American, in re-
viewing a recent radio program:
"As far as we are concerned, the night would
have been ruined if we hadn't found our
favorite 'Horses' galloping through the micro-
phone at W E A F . The Clicquot Eskimos were
performing. They were good. We liked them
in that jocund 'So's Your Old Lady' number,
in 'High Jinks' and in that singing by the male
quartet of 'Bye, Bye, Blackbird,' but, to our
bigoted mind, nothing runs even with the un-
bridled vitality of 'Horses.' Try to hold us in
a chair when that music runs wild."

"The
Pianist's
Thumb," Text-book for
Teachers and Pupils, a Valuable Contribu-
tion to Art
The Oliver Ditson Co. has brought out a new
book by Howard Wells called "The Pianist's
Thumb," a text-book for teachers and pupils.
Mr. Wells is the author of "Ears, Brains and
Fingers."
"The Pianist's Thumb" carries a number of
illustrations giving emphasis and clarity to
some of the important points brought out by
the author. It includes as well a summary of
what is required of the thumb and its value.
There are numerous exercises, some excerpts
of thumb passages .and clearly denned and illus-
trated uses of the thumb. This book not only
calls to the attention of the teacher and student

the importance of the thumb, but constructively
proves its value. "The Pianist's Thumb" is
certainly a valuable addition to the music stu-
dent's library.
