New York, who has spent
the past several months in
European capitals, has done
some unusual business for his
company over there.
The
most important arrangement,
according to reports from
London, is not only the re-
newal of this firm's close as-
sociation with Keith Prowse
&• Co., Ltd., for the British
Isles, but includes an elabo-
ration of past activities where-

The
outlook for future business
along present lines, he said,
was most promising and
he looked forward to a wider
expansion of Fox interests
under the new conditions and
the auspices which have al-
ready found such favor in
Great Britain and the other
territory included in the ar-
rangement.

man and Charles O'Flynn.
Will H&'ckwell, Eastern manager of Villa
Moret, inc., with offices at 1595 Broadway, New
York City, is expecting Charles N. Daniels, head
of the company, in New York shortly, when
^hey are to complete plans for an energetic
Eastern campaign. Mr. Rockwell states they

neath a Rose," "Don't Sing Aloha When I Go"
and "The Song of the Wanderer."
Irving Berlin Is Bringing
Out Two New Numbers
"Just a Little Longer" and "That's a Good
Girl" Make a Total of Five Written This
Season
Among the new songs that have been added
to the catalog of Irving Berlin, Inc., are two
by Irving Berlin, called "Just a Little Longer"
and "That's a Good Girl." This release closely
follows three other Berlin successes this sea-
son, namely, "Because I Love You," "How
Many Times?" and "I'm On My Way Home."
Aside from the show material Irving Berlin
has written and in addition to his popular selec-
tions, the release of all of these successful
songs in the same season establishes a new
record for this writer.
