Latest Addition to Catalog of J. W. Jenkins
Sons' Co. Has Won a Quick Success—Other
Live Numbers
In Addition to Ukulele Arrangements, "Hush-a-
Bye" Carries Arrangement for Eb Alto Saxo-
phone, First and Second.
The J. W. Jenkins Sons' Music Co., 1013 Wal-
nut street, Kansas City, Mo., recently issued a
new ballad which in a very short time has
achieved unusual success. The number is called
"As Long as I Have You." It is by Earl Haub-
rich, Al Lewis and Howard Simon. The suc-
cess of this number, besides having a very ap-
pealing melody and attractive lyrics, can be
accounted for through the fact that it has been
programmed frequently by professional singers
in theatres and through broadcasting stations,
and also because the number is most simple,
lending itself readily to playing by the average
pianist, has undoubtedly assisted this popularity.
Sherman, Clay & Co., the well-known publish-
ing organization of San Francisco, which have
been responsible for some of the best successes
in recent years and which are noted for their
book and folio publications as well, were one of
the first to include ukulele arrangement in piano
copies of sheet music.
Now this same enterprising organization has
established an innovation and one which
will doubtless be widely accepted for its con-
structive value, as the sales the idea will create
should add considerably to the volume of sheet
music. In its latest waltz success, "Hush-a-
Bye," is noted not only the usual ukulele ar-
rangement, but also an arrangement for first
and second Eb saxophone. Thus these piano
copies of "Hush-a-Bye" make possible the
sales of the number to a wide range of mu-
sicians besides the usual pianists. Invariably C
melody saxophones can play from the usual
piano arrangement and, as the alto saxophones
and C melody saxophones comprise the largest
volume of sales of saxophone instruments, the
extended arrangements in the piano copies
should create a new market and satisfy a great
need as there are hundreds of thousands of
such instruments in the hands of saxophone
enthusiasts in this country.

To its list of sacred songs the Oliver Ditson
Co. has added "See That Ye Love One An-
other," by Albert E. Wilshire. This number
has unusual musical qualities for a sacred song
and allows for vocal expressiveness while still
maintaining the spiritual mood. In the new Dit-
son list is also a new song by Stanley R. Avery
available for concert, recital and teaching. It is
called "The Cavalier's Song." There is also a
new number by L. Leslie Loth called "Ere the
Moon Begins to Rise," the music of which is to
a poem by Thomas Bailey Aldrich, and to the
songs of Edward Ballantine has been added
"Night at the Mission."
The McLean Music Shop, of Reading, Pa.,
and the Conrad Radio Shop, of that city, have
merged and are now occupying new quarters
at 908 Penn street, the new warerooms being
much larger than the old.

Volume of "Cheer Up" Songs
"Cheer Up," part songs for men's voices by
Lee G. Kratz, which includes forty-two num-
bers, has been issued under one cover by the
Oliver Ditson Co. These are mostly short
offerings of a cheerful and philosophical nature
of a type that particularly appeals to men, and
for that reason should have wide popularity.
