Waterson, Berlin & Snyder Song Widely Ex-
ploited on National Scale—Many Artistic
Window Displays in Campaign
One of the best campaigns of the present
season was that of Waterson, Berlin & Snyder
on its popular song, "There's Everything Nice
About You." This has been far-reaching and

the country. Photographs have arrived from
many sections and these not only show artistic
window dressings, but invariably carry an-
nouncements of where the song is being heard
during the week of the showing.
We herewith reproduce two from the many
photographs that have come to hand of special
window showings on "There Is Everything Nice
About You." The first is one of Grinnell Bros.,
the well-known music merchants of Michigan,
in their Detroit store. Here is an artistic ar-
rangement of title pages of "There Is Every-
thing Nice About You," and in the forepart of
the window is a placard announcing the featur-
ing of the number by Arthur Gutow, the organ-
ist, at the Michigan Theater', that city. In this
same setting appears a baby upright piano and
instruments^ almost enough for a complete band
outfit. This combination window produced sales
and can be considered a clever combination
window.
The second photograph shown is that of the
A Typical Display of This Number
covered practically every town in the country.
It was' particularly well arranged due to the fact
that nearly every vaudeville theatre, photoplay
house and radio stations took an energetic part.
All the above was supplemented by unusual
sales activities, hooking up with the local ap-
pearances of artists. The Waterson organiza-
tion made every effort to get the most out of
these public appearances and, of course, when
brought to the attention of dealers in various
localities, co-operation was assured from these
sales angles.
And Another Example
The campaign resulted in there appearing a
large number of window displays throughout J. G. McCrory Store, Philadelphia, Pa. Here
is a window of massed title pages. Setting on
a pedestal is a large placard, as a centerpiece,
calling attention to the song. Underneath this
setting are a number of popular records of the
same song.
Court Rules Copyright
Law Applies on High Seas
HIT THE MARK!
It All Depends on You
According to a decision handed down re-
cently in Amsterdam, Holland, the law of copy-
right applies on the high seas. The Amster-
dam court held that a public performance of
a copyrighted composition on board an ocean
liner entitled a composer or author to perform-
ing rights fees.
The case was one in which a German com-
poser discovered, months after it had taken
place, that some of his music had been played
during dinner on board a ship, and promptly
claimed the royalties. In granting them the
court made two interesting decisions: First, that
it was a public performance, and, second, that
extra-territorial waters could be brought within
the scope of national laws.

Move to Have Foster
Buried in Kentucky
Bill to Be Introduced in State Legislature to
Bring Composer's Body to State He Immor-
talized
LEXINGTON, KY., May 23.—A move has been
launched here to have the body of Stephen
Collins Foster, famous song writer and author
of "My Old Kentucky Home" and other popu-
lar Southern melodies, removed from Pitts-
burgh, Pa., and reinterred at the Old Kentucky
Home, near Bardstown, Ky., immortalized by
his genius.
C. Frank Dunn, manager of the Lexington
Automobile Club, himself a song composer of
more than local celebrity, is sponsor of the
movement and has interested a number of
prominent Kentuckians in the project. Dunn
has just addressed a communication to Frank
E. Daugherty, Attorney-General of Kentucky,
requesting him to have a bill introduced at the
next session of the Kentucky Legislature,
which convenes in January, petitioning the
authorities of Pittsburgh to permit the removal
of the body to Kentucky and making the neces-
sary appropriation to defray the expense of the
transfer. Dunn points out that similar action
on the part of the Kentucky Legislature a few
years ago resulted in the removal of the body
of Daniel Boone from Missouri to the cemetery
at Frankfort, where it was reinterred with be-
fitting ceremonies, thus establishing a precedent.
While Foster was a native of Pittsburgh his
fame rests chiefly on his songs immortalizing
Kentucky and the South, particularly "My Old
Kentucky Home," and for this reason citizens
of Kentucky are anxious that his body be
brought back to "Federal Hill," where this
deathless song was composed and which has
recently been converted into a State memorial
shrine and christened My Old Kentucky Home,
in honor of its author.
While the records show that Foster was born
in Pittsburgh on July 4, 1826—the day that
John Adams and Thomas Jefferson died—he
spent much of his young manhood in Kentucky
and died in New York City on January 13, 1864.

week to William Wiemann, a sales executive of

and the pair are spending their honeymoon in
Atlantic City.
