Fox Popular Numbers
Being Widely Broadcast
''Wings," "Neapolitan Nights" and "Broken
Dreams" Being Used Generally in Radio's
Most Popular Presentations
The Sam Fox popular catalog has been re-
ceiving an especially good "plug" over the radio
this season, most of the numbers being classi-
fied as request numbers in the repertory of the
well-known radio acts and artists. "Wings,"
which is the theme-song of the photoplay of
the same name, has been featured over WEAF
by Larry Brier and his orchestra, the Roaring
Lions; by Anna Byrne and her orchestra; by
the Paris Bluing Hour, and vocally by Helen
Clark, who is one of the Royal Typewriters.
"Neapolitan Nights," an orchestral specialty,
was featured recently by William Robyn of the
Capitol Theatre and was broadcast over the
regular Sunday evening radio concert. "Baby-
lonian Nights," a brand new orchestral special-
ty, was introduced recently by the Maxwell
House Hour under the direction of Nat Shilkret.
"Broken Dreams" is still being used by such
artists as Anna Byrne's orchestra, as well as the
quartet that sings with her hour each Friday
night; it is also used by the Hoover Sentinels.
"Polly" has been featured by the A. & P.
Gypsies over WEAF and a large hook-up.

New Schirmer List
"Four Negro Songs" Latest Work of Well-
known American Composer—Other Listings
of Month
The November publications of G. Schirmer,
Inc., New York, include an interesting new
suite, "Four Negro Songs," by John Alden Car-
penter. The numbers reveal a fascinating com-
bination of primitive simplicity and modern
musical sophistication and are quite different
from the present-day "jazz songs." The sepa-
iate numbers are: "Shake Your Brown Feet,
Honey!", "The Cryin' Blues," "Jazz-Boys" and
"That Soothin' Song." A secular song, "To
You," by Oley Speaks, arranged for four-part
chorus by Ralph L. Baldwin, is also included in
the new Schirmer publications. The piano solos
for the month include a group of twenty-four
concert etudes in all the major and minor keys
by Aurelio Giorni; also an educational group
of Piano Stories, No. 4, "In Vacation Time," by
Mathilde Bilbro, and a variety of others in this
classification.

"Anything to Make You Happy" and "From
Midnight to Dawn"
Several new numbers have been added re-
cently to the catalog of Bibo, Bloeden & Lang,

every angle. The song, "No One, No One But
You," originally published by Henderson, Kelly
& Myers, of Chicago, is now the property of
Uibo, Bloeden & Lang, who have placed it
with various vaudeville and radio acts. "Any-
thing to Make You Happy," by Buddy Valen-
tine, makes a good lively song or fox-trot and is

Denver Music Go.
Remodeling Department
Sheet Music Section of Colorado Music House
Being Expanded to Take Care of Complete
Stock Carried
DENVER, COLO., November 25.—Alterations have
been completed in the sheet music department
of the Denver Music Co., this city, and the
department has been completely rearranged.
One of the changes is the addition of another
unit of double filing cabinets, which are ar-
ranged to facilitate the handling of all sheet
music. The new unit will be devoted exclu-
sively to foreign and organ music.
Miss Nell Frost, manager of the sheet music
section, states that representatives from the
Eastern publishers never fail to comment on
the up-to-date and efficient system of filing at
the Denver Music Co. Their observation is
that it compares favorably with the departments
in the largest music stores in the East, not only
in the filing system but in the completeness ot
the stock. Miss Frost states that she endeavors
to have at all times a complete line of foreign
classics, special orchestrations and music of a
type that will fill the needs of any high-class
concert.

C. N. Daniels in Chicago
Charles N. Daniels, president of Villa Moret,
San Francisco, Gal., has completed his Eastern
visit of about three weeks to the company's
New York offices at 1595 Broadway, and has
stopped off in Chicago, preparatory to returning
to the Coast. Mr. Daniels expressed himself
as being highly pleased with the showing of the
firm's catalog in the East, especially "Moonlit
Waters," "An Old Guitar" and "Chloe." These
numbers were going big in the West before he
came East and Mr. Daniels now feels that t\yn
whole country has now been covered nicely for
their exploitation. He expects to remain in
Chicago for several weeks.
