Paul Schindler Dead
at Age of Fifty-six
Well-known Musical Comedy Composer and
Musical Director Commits Suicide in New
York Home
Paul Schindler, composer of "The Wizard of
Oz," "The Geezer of Geek," "The Isle of Spice"
and other well-known musical plays of twenty
years ago, committed suicide Saturday morning
of last week at his apartment, 141 West Six-
teenth street, New York City. The motive for
his act remains a mystery.
The fifty-six-year-old composer and his wife,
Mrs. Anne Schindler, twenty-five years his
junior, whom he married shortly after his
divorce from Vera Michelena, left home Thurs-
day night to go to a party.
Paul Schindler's first venture into the musical
comedy field was in 1900, when he produced
"The Tiger Lily." Fame came five years later

have the 500 radio broadcasting stations
which in a hurried manner are able to place
tunes before an audience of probably millions.
These new quick and extensive publicity
mediums are the factors that create a quick
sale and one that must be capitalized promptly
before the on-coming success arrives that
supersedes in its popularity, the month's fa-
vorite. This is why the publisher desires co-
operation from the dealer. It is necessary if
he is to get the sale he has created for his
works. He needs no help in advertising his
numbers, in fact he has a problem on his hands
to keep them from being over-advertised.
What he does require is that the dealer will
stock his prints in fair quantities and will sec
that they are placed in conspicuous positions
and, where the number justifies it, be given
an exclusive window display. Titles to a great
extent sell themselves when shown because
they have in song or melody form been
brought to the attention of purchasers.

with "The Geezer of Geek," his first real hit,
and after that he scored with several other
successes.
In 1909 Florenz Ziegfeld engaged him to con-
duct "The Soul Kiss." Vera Michelena was the
prima donna. Schiridler met her, they fell in
love and were married. Subsequently Schindler
became conductor at the Hippodrome, his wife
turned from the stage to the movies and
divorced him. Schindler, the son of a Boston
rabbi, shortly afterward married the woman
who now survives him. His work in later years
had consisted almost entirely of conducting.

Miss Lillian Kaplan, for four years connected
with Maurice Abrahams, Inc., is now with the
New York office of Villa Moret, Inc. Miss
Kaplan is very familiar with the New York
trade as well as the various other phases of
the music business.

New Forster Hit
, Will Rockwell, Eastern manager for Villa
Moret, Inc., has just returned from a two weeks'
vacation at Camp Carlisle, Silven Lake, N. Y.
He is now back in the harness and will put the
same force and energy behind "Lay My Head
Beneath a Rose" and "When You Waltz With
the One You Love" that he did in making
"Moonlight and Roses" and "Buggy Ride" suc-
cesses.
"Lay My Head" is already well on its way to
being a hit and with the entire Villa Moret or-
ganization behind it it should reach the same
heights that "Moonlight and Roses" and
"Buggy" attained. "When You Waltz With the
One That You Love" is a beautiful waltz ballad
by Charles O'Flynn and Al Sherman and it has
also started showing up in sales.
Charles Daniels, president of the firm, is ex-
pected to arrive in New York the latter part of
September.

CHICAGO, III., August 21.—The latest Forster hit
is the new fox-trot entitled "Meadow-Lark,"
song a few bars of whistling are introduced,
giving the number a distinctive and original
appeal. The number is being played by leading
orchestras and was featured recently at the
Aragon Ballroom, when thousands of whistles
carrying the picture of the characteristic
meadow lark were given away to the dancers.
Daly and Cool Back
in the Music Field
Now Associated With the Arthur J. Daly Music
Co., New York—To Exploit Popular Catalog
Arthur J. Daly and Harold L. Cool, who will
be remembered as the writers of several popular
songs some seasons ago, have returned to the
publishing field and are associated with the
Arthur J. Daly Music Co., 1482 Broadway, New
York City. The new company intends to ac-
tively exploit a series of popular songs. It has
associated with them, besides Daly and Cool,
William Jerome, one of the pioneer song writers,
and Harry Ellis, the well-known musical com-
edy and vaudeville singer.
The first number to be issued by the "new-
old" organization is called "When You Were
the World to Me." It has already been featured
by George Hall and his Arcadians, a well-known
orchestra.
Among the trade visitors to Aeolian Hall this
week were Rudolph Steinert, of M. Steinert &
Sons Co., New Haven, Conn., and G. W.
Greener, of the Corley Co., Richmond, Va.
