Popular Numbers
Irving Berlin, Inc., the popular publishing
house, announces for release between October

numbers including several successes from the
pen of Irving Berlin. Among the outstanding
numbers are "Always," "How Many Times,"
"At Peace With the World," "When the Red,
Red, Robin Comes Bobbin' Along," "I'd Climb
the Highest Mountain" (If I Knew I'd Find
You), "In the Middle of the Night," "Give Me
a Little Kiss, Will Ya, Huh?," "Say It Again,"

secular and sacred, vocal duets, choruses, an-
thems, musical readings and compositions for
piano, organ and violin.
Next June Harold Flammer, Inc., will cele-
brate its tenth anniversary. The firm in this
short space of time as standard publishing firms
go has made good progress. In fact, it has sub-
stantially added to its importance each year. In
gathering together its present material, selec-
tions were made from over 7,000 manuscripts.
In 1923 it purchased the catalog of Christian
Science songs by Frances Porter Ross, and in
1925 the catalog, good will and long-established
business of Luckhardt & Belder.
The new catalog is printed in good clear type
with emphasis on the names of the composers,
accompanied by the titles and the various
voices, etc., for which the numbers are available.
Throughout the catalog appear several pages
of half-tone reproductions of important com-
poser-contributors. The back cover is given
over to the names of some of the outstanding
artists who program the Harold Flammer, Inc.,
songs.

Harold Flammer, Inc., has just issued a new
complete catalog of all of its publications, in-
cluding the consolidated offering from the cata-
log of Luckhardt & Belder. The music coming
from this young firm covers practically every
phase of musical activity, including songs, both

compositions of the late E. T. Paull, the E. T.
Paull Music Co., has just announced after look-
ing through this composer's manuscripts, that
it has found many numbers that the composer
planned to issue later and these, it is now stated,
are to be published from time to time. The
first is known as "Top of the World," a de-
scriptive march and two-step, which describes
through musical treatment a trip to and dis-
covery of the North Pole, with the usual stirring
expressions that gave prominence to Mr. Paull's
works.
The publisher of this souvenir edition of "Top
of the World" has given it a particularly at-
tractive title-page in color with a reproduced
half-tone of Lieutenant Commander E. R. Byrd.
It is a coincidence that the late E. T. Paull
was a Virginian by birth and spent the early
part of his life in Richmond and Lieutenant
Commander E. R. Byrd, to whom this splendid
march is now dedicated, is also a native of that
city.

trip. Aside from several short trips Bill will

According to Mr. Jacobs the retail music
field had a very active Summer season and is
undoubtedly doing the largest business in its
history this Fall. The attention that the music
dealer now gives popular music, lie said, is
along the most active lines, and the majority
of dealers are making substantial profits from
popular departments.
In addition to the fact that more and more
people go to the legitimate dealer for their
sheet music, the fact that in recent years the
retailer has done a heavy business in small
musical instruments of all kinds has encour-
aged him in popular music activity. Besides
the sheet music that is sold for the home piano
y>layer, much popular music is sold for the small
instrument, and this together with popular
music books has become a profitable factor in
the gross business of the dealer with a sheet
music section.
"Lullaby Moon' Is Popular
'Night in Araby" Featured
With Valentino Film
W. A. Quincke & Co., of Los Angeles, Cal.,
which recently introduced a new ballad called
"Lullaby Moon," has made this offering very
popular in Pacific Coast territory. The plans of
the company now are through its various agents
in other sections to further continue the exploi-
tation of "Lullaby Moon" on a more national
scale.
Waterson, Berlin & Snyder sometime ago is-
sued a popular song called "A Night in Araby."
This number in co-operation with United Artists
is being exploited in conjunction with the Ru-
dolph Valentino photoplay "Son of the Sheik."
Each copy of music carries a separate half-tone
photograph of Valentino as a gratis presenta-
tion.

kinds, which demonstrates that many dealers do
strive to enlarge the sales of their popular de-
partments.
One of the latest ideas and one that is quite
original is from the Poppler Piano Co., Grand
Forks, N. D. This firm, in recent months, has
been sending through its mailing list mimeo-
graphed sheets carrying a thematic of part of a
chorus of popular numbers together with one or
two lines of the words, just enough to remind
the recipient of the number he has already heard
or sufficient material for the pianist to grasp
its significance. The idea originated with Elmer
G. Uggen, of the company.
Of course, popular music is all copyrighted
and it would not do for a retailer or any other
person to make an extensive use of mimeo-
graphing music of this character. As long, how-
ever, as only a very small portion of the theme
is used, there will doubtless be no complaint.
In this instance the creator of the idea used a
smaller portion of the thematic than would ap-
pear on the back cover of a piece of popular
music. Therefore, he would hardly be charged
with an infringement. The idea is quite good
and the above is only stated so that the copy-
right angle is brought before others who may
desire to carry out such inexpensive propaganda.
It might also be stated that the Poppler Piano
Co. found this form of calling attention to popu-
lar sheet music a profitable method of creating
sales.
Sam Perry and His Harmonica Pals are now
arranging a program of popular songs which
will shortly be heard over station WEAF and
its co-operative chain. Among the songs they
have already decided to use are "Susie's Feller,"
"Elsie Shultz-en-heim" and "I'm On My Way
Home," the latter the newest number by Irving
Berlin. Besides Sam Perry, Harmonica Pals in-
clude twelve boys and girls from the different
public schools of the city of New York. '
Jack Mills on Trip
Jack Mills, head of Jack Mills, Inc., is away
on a sales trip through New England territory.
He is introducing the new song novelty "When
Banana Skins Are Falling" (I'll Come Sliding
Back to You) and his firm's more legitimate of-
ferings "I Don't Mind Being All Alone," and
"If You Can't Tell the World She's a Good
Little Girl."
