personages prominent in social, theatrical and

AREYOVTHINKIW,
"Mills Music Means Modern Music" to Be
Used Hereafter—Jack Mills on Trip to the
Middle West
Jack Mills, Inc., New York, has adopted a
new slogan, which will be appended to the
firm's advertising literature hereafter. It is:
"Mills Music Means Modern Music." Jack-
Mills, head of the publishing house, will leave
shortly on an extensive business trip through
the West and Middle West, and states that
his catalog looks as promising as it has in any
Fall in the firm's history. The firm's No. 1
song is "I Can't Believe That You're in Love
With Me," written by Jimmy McHugh and
Clarence Gaskill. The extraordinary appeal of
this number is emphasized by the fact that it
is at present being used in six musical produc-
tions. Frankie Morris features the number in
•the current edition of "Artists and Models."
Cliff Edwards does it in the "Ziegfeld Follies."
The song is represented in "Allez-Oop" by
the clever rendition of Kellers' Sisters and
Lynch. Winnie Lightner is featuring it in "Gay
Paree," Jans and Whalen in "Padlocks of
1927," and Evelyn Hoey finds it a valuable ad-
dition to her song repertoire in "Yours Truly."

Julius P. Witmark, Jr.
publishing house of M. Witmark & Sons, New
York, only a short time ago. After graduating
from Columbia, "Junior" as he is known in the
trade, decided to follow in his father's footsteps,
and a short time before his marriage was made
manager of several important departments of
the firm, where he has already shown his mettle.
After a brief trip down the coast, Mr. and
Mrs. Witmark, Jr., will return to make their
home in the city, -and "Junior" will again get
back into harness. He'is looking forward to
an unusually busy Fall and Winter season, the
Witmark house having a tremendously enlarged
field to cater to since its successful entry into
the business of special publications and desirable
musical material for schools and colleges.

by Boosey & Go.
Among the recent song issues of Boosey &
Co., Ltd., London and New York, is "The
Green-Eyed Dragon," composed by Wolseley

part of his repertory. "A Slumber Song of the
