workings of the former Frederick Harris Co.
Their trade bulletin, as the fellow would say,
"is up to snuff," a budget of knowledge for the
light material as well as the standard and clas-
sics.
A. Cox
This congenial personage is extremely alive
and active at 26 Queen street East. He reports
his wholesale and retail business both entirely
up to his expectations and he has recently pub-
lished a number of attractive collections of the
popular types that sell well in Canada.
T. Eaton Co., Ltd.
The music department in this wonder store
of Canada, the greatest emporium in the Do-
minion, looks as good as usual, though Mr.
Noble, the head of the music section, was ex-
tremely busy taking inventory. We all know
what that means. Being of the exacting type,
unless every part of his displays are 100 per cent,
he is never quite satisfied. The best popular
sellers at Eaton's are the following: "The Pris-
oner's Song," "Remember," "Sleepy Time Gal,"
"Sitting on Top of the World," Brown Eyes,"
"Bam Bam Bamy Shore," 'That Certain Party,"
"I'addlin' Maddlin' Home," "Dream Pal,"
"Sometime" and "Pal of My Cradle Days."
Leo Feist, Ltd., Canada
Gordon V. Thompson, the chief engineer and
manager of the Feist works up here, had a slight
cold while I was in town, but, being a "never-
say-die kind," what's a little cold in his young
life 5 He will be hitting on all cylinders again
in a day or two, whether he takes rock and rye
or not. The Feist best sellers are: "S+eepy
Time Gal," "Sitting on Top of the World," "Five
Foot Two," "Pal of My Cradle Days" and
"Don't Wake Me Up." All the other Feist
songs in the catalog are getting better. The
co-operation of the mechanical companies is ex-
A. L. Greenberger Visits
Trade in Middle West
Sam Fox Advertising Manager Reports "Love
Bound" Is a Spontaneous Success
CHICAGO, III., February 1.—A. L. Greenberger,
advertising manager of the Sam Fox Music Co.,
Cleveland, O., stopped in the city last week
on a trip lie is making around the mid-West
visiting dealers as well as the professional trade.
He reports that such well-known Fox suc-
cesses as "Little Bluebird," "Neapolitan Nights,"
"Nola," "The Day When My Dreams Come
True" and others are continuing to be featured
by the leading artists and orchestras through-
out the country.
"The new number, 'Love Bound,' " said Mr.
Greenberger, "is also just as popular in this
section of the country as it is in the East. The
leading orchestra leaders whom I have visited
personally say that the number has a spontan-
eous appeal and is very popular for dance music
as well as ballad rendition.
Triangle Releases a
New Hawaiian Folio
Second Folio in Series Includes Ten Waltz
Songs With Words, Music and Ukulele
Arrangements
Ion Cant Go Wro
With Any Ff/SrSo
The Triangle Music Publishing Co. has just
released "Hawaiian Song Folio No. 2." This
new edition contains ten waltz songs complete
with words, music and ukulele arrangements. It
includes the following numbers: "Silver Sands
of Waikiki," "Down Hawaii Way," "Golden
Memories of Hawaii," "I Love You Hawaii,"
"My Hawaiian Evenin' Star," "Dreamy Nights
in Honolulu," 'Honolulu Sunshine," Hawaiian
Song of Love," "In Hawaii by the Sea" and
cellent and every other means of promotion is
coming along fine. So says Gordon V. Thomp-
son.
The Feist chief seems to know a good deal
about the part of America called U. S. A. This
is what he had to say: "America is called the
land of sunshine and the greatest of moon-
shine."
Remick Song Shop
Just before leaving the city I dropped in for
a line or two from the manager of Remick's,
Harry Goldby. But he was on a trip to Mont-
real, undoubtedly booking a lot of orders for
the Remick catalog and perhaps in between a
few steins of real beer—and you must go to
Montreal if you want them. My attention was
particularly drawn to the excellent window dis-
play. The Victor line of records was well dis-
played, as well as many other specialties. The
Remick catalog has many big numbers right
now up here in "Sometime," "Bam Bam Bamy
Shore," "Good Morning," "Let's Wander Away,"
"What Could Be Sweeter?" and a number of
others. The location is at 27 Yonge street,
right in the center of everything.
Musgrave Bros.
George Musgrave does a double turn mostly
every day. He plays for the customers in the
store in the daytime and then repeats in strict
dance tempo for dancing in the evening. His
business for the last lap of 1925 was satisfactory
and it looks very encouraging for this year.
He employs several young men, all A-l musi-
cians, and the novel way in which they display
their musical ability with a two-piano idea all
day is going over big. This is called the Yonge
Street Arcade Music Store.
"Wally," the Incurable Batch, Lives Here
Here's the reason:
Oh, my love is like a melody
That's sweetly played in tune.
Ah, yes! She gave the air to me;
Her "notes" I'll send back soon.
"Sunny Smiles of Hawaii." In conjunction with
the exploitation of this new folio Joe Davis,
head of the Triangle Co., is sending out an at-
Iractive two-color circular as an announcement,
the material of which can be used for window
hangers.
George V. Hobart Dies
in Cumberland, Md.
Well-known Writer of Musical Comedy Libretti
Dies a 1 - Age of Fifty-nine
CUMBERLAND, MD., February 1.—George Vcrc
Hobart, author or co-author of more than fifty
musical comedy librettos and plays, died in the
Allegheny Hospital here to-day. Death was at-
-tributed to a general breakdown. Mr. Hobart
was fifty-nine years of age.
The playwright had been under the care of
physicians for several months and entered the
local hospital almost immediately after arriving
here, two weeks ago, from his Ventnor, N. J.,
home to visit his mother-in-law, Mrs. Anna De
Vries.
Suffering from kidney and heart complica-
tions, his condition gradually became worse,
and after two heart attacks on Thursday he
was so weakened that hope of recovery was
abandoned. His two children, Vere and Bayne,
were at the bedside.
Triangle Accepts Dale Song
Joe Davis, head of the Triangle Music Pub-
lishing Co., has just accepted from Pete Dale
a new novelty song, entitled "Struttin' at That
Funny Paper Ball." Pete Dale makes records
exclusively for Columbia and is a weekly fea-
ture at radio station WJZ. Al Bernard has
also introduced the soup: on the air through
station WJZ.
