Unquestionable!
"CENTURY CERTIFIED EDI-

and "Black Bottom."
The new firm announces among its first offer-
ings "It All Depends on You," now being sung by
Al Jolson in "Big Boy." It has a novelty
number called "I Wonder How I Look When
I'm Asleep," being featured by singing orches-
tras. Other novelties are "Keeper, Keeper,
Keep the Boy Away," and "Oh, Baby, Don't
We Get Along." It is also introducing "I
Want to Be Miles Away From Everyone," de-
scribed as a rag ballad.
The orchestrations will be by Joe Nussbaum
and Louis Katzman, for the most part, although
other arrangers will be called in from time to
time. The members of the firm are now en-
grossed in completing five musical comedies
and some of these undoubtedly will be produced
this season. The new firm is located at 745
