speaking countries the vocal rendition of these
numbers has been given little or no prominence.
Eric Borchard, the foremost German exponent
of modern type instrumental music, has left
Bremen for the United States for the purpose
of taking back with him some of the best jazz
singers. Seemingly the vocal renditions of
songs sung by negro quartets and other vocal-
ists have been quite popular on phonograph
records and have created a desire for the per-
sonal appearance of this type of singer. There-
fore, Mr. Borchard said that a good quartet and
a new American band will win honors and popu-
larity in Germany. Eric Borchard played for
American soldiers in camps during the war and
later on the Rhine.
"Willie the Weeper"
Latest Melrose Issue
Chicago Music Firm Announces Several Other
Novelties and New Re-issues
Melrose Bros. Music Co., Chicago, are intro-
ducing as their latest song hit "Willie the
Weeper." The number is an unique combina-
tion of novelty comic-song and excellent fox-
trot, and it is thought will be a popular sheet
music number as well as orchestra and band
selection. It is written by Grant V. Rymal,
Walter Melrose, and Marty Bloom with eight
extra verses.
Two other new numbers which have recently
been added to the Melrose catalog and which
are also very popular, include "Sax Appeal" and
"Sha-wan-da-moo." This latter number is an
Indian love song of striking beauty with a
weird melody based on the tribal Indian songs.
The company also announces that it has taken
over the publishing rights of the well-known
selection "A Sweetheart of Sigma Chi," from
Richard E. Bernor Publishing Co., Albion,
Mich. This number has enjoyed a good demand
tor the past fifteen years, and Melrose Bros,
announce that they will issue a new piano,
dance, and band arrangement and also the song
with a new attractive title-page. This song is
not only popular among the Sigma Chi frater-
nity but also other fraternal and collegiate
organizations.
Triangle Songs Abroad
The Triangle Music Publishing Co. has just
placed several of its songs with English publishing
houses. These numbers are "Oriental Moonlight,"
with Lawrence Wright & Co.; "Honeymoon
Waltz," with Keith Prowse & Co., and "You
Never Get Nowhere Holding Hands," and "Lonely
Nights in Hawaii," with Campbell Connelly & Co.
A deal was also closed with L. F. Collin Pty,
Ltd., of Melbourne, Australia, whereby it will
handle the entire Triangle Music Co. catalog.
