William Jerome Starts
Own Publishing House
Prominent Song Writer Opens Publishing Of-
fices in New York Under the Title of "The
House of William Jerome"
William Jerome, one of the pioneer song writ-
ers, has opened up music publishing offices, 1595
Broadway, New York, under the firm name "The
House of William Jerome." The first release
of the new firm is a song called "She's An-
other Sweet Mother Machree." The number,
although only recently introduced, has created
an initial sale with the music jobbers and at
music counters, which would indicate that it
has possibilities of wide success. Another song
released by the same house is called "Cornalia",
the words of which are by William Jerome and
the music by Jean Schwartz. This is a novelty
number of similar character to one of Mr.
Jerome's earlier songs called "Bedelia".
A decade or so ago William Jerome was one
of the most consistent writers of popular suc-
cesses. Just before the war he operated the

Wendell Hall, Radio
Artist, Now a Publisher
"Red-Headed Music Maker" Launches Music
Publishing Business of His Own in Chicago
—His Initial Offerings
Wendell Hall, well-known radio artist, known
as "the Red-Headed Music Maker", has entered
the music publishing business under the trade
name Wendell Hall, with offices in the Loop
End Building, 177 North State street, Chicago,
111. Hall has published some of his numbers in
the past, later, however, turning them over to
larger publishing houses. Among these are
"Underneath the Mellow Moon" and "It Ain't
Gonna Rain No Mo' ", the latter, it is said, sell-
ing over a million copies and the former almost
as many—both being exploited by Forster Music
Publisher, Inc.
The business management of the new firm
will be under the direction of Monte Wilhite.
The company plans to have ten representatives
in the key centers of the country and will con-
centrate on radio and orchestra exploitation.
Among the songs to be issued by Wendell
Hall are "Hot Feet", a new song and dance
selection; "Down Kentucky Way", a chatter
song written by Hall, Al Gumble and Haven
Gillespie; "I Told You I'd Never Forget You,"
by May Singhi Breen, Peter De Rose and Wen-
dell Hall.

Paul Whiteman has commissioned Roger
Wolfe Kahn, the jazz orchestra conductor and
composer, to write a composition in the vein
of elevated jazz, which is to be presented by
Whiteman at his annual concerts next season.
Mr. Kahn recently departed for Europe and
will spend six weeks in Berlin and Paris, and
devote some of his time to this new work.
Bibo, Bloeden & Lang has just issued a new
novelty song called "I Walked Back From the
Buggy Ride". This number was originally pub-
lished in Dallas, Tex., and Charles Lang, a
