Sam Fox Go. Develops
Musical Score Department
Dr. Edward Kilenyi Appointed to Assist J. S.
Zamecnik in Handling This Important
Division of Company's Business
Rapid strides have been taken recently by the
Sam Fox Publishing Co., New York and Cleve-
land, in developing the musical score depart-
ment of the business, the preparation of which
has been handled in the past principally by
John S. Zamecnik, well-known composer and
arranger, who is head of the Fox professional
staff. Announcement was made this week by
Sam Fox, president of the company, of the ap-
pointment of Dr. Edward Kilenyi, another
prominent composer-arranger, who will assist
Mr. Zamecnik in working on special scores. An-
other new addition to the Fox ranks is Albert
Sanger, who is taking full charge of the copying
and extracting of scores to be issued by the
Sam Fox firm.
Mr. Zamecnik is at present engaged in writing
scores for two large motion picture features,
which will reach Broadway shortly and give
every indication of equaling the success of
"Wings," for which he also wrote the musical
setting. The new pictures are: "The Wedding
Latest Entrant Into Jobbing Field Has Had to March" and "Abie's Irish Rose," the latter film

Last Ballad by Ernest
R. Ball in Strong Demand
"Watching the World Go By" Widely Featured
in Vaudeville and Concert Fields—Posthu-
mous Work of Prominent Writer
The death of one of America's best-known
writers of ballads, Ernest R. Ball, was a great
Kiss to all song lovers; but it is the happy
fortune of those who write for the public that
they are never forgotten. Thus, many songs
that Ernest R. Ball wrote continue to be asked
Boy of Mine," "Let the Rest of the World Go
By," "Turn Back the Universe" and "A Little
Bit of Heaven." Since the publication of this
typical Ball ballad it has been sung by many
vaudeville headliners and in every field of mu
sical activity, so that to-day it ranks amon^
the best of the Ball sellers and gains in nm
mentum every month.
Sherman, Clay & Go. Have
Record for Successes
"Doll Dance" and "Charmaine" Among Out-
standing Features of Company's Catalog This
Year—Other Popular Numbers
Bernard Pollack, Eastern manager for the
music publishing division of Sherman, Clay &
Co., San Francisco, Cal., in commenting on the
past year, states that the firm's popular catalog
broke all records in 1927 from the point of
view of sales volume and endurance of hits.
The Eastern offices of the company, established
about two years ago at 745 Seventh avenue,
more than doubled the sales totals of last year
and have extended their influence into a wide
variety of new channels.
Reviewing the success of the individual num-
bers in the present popular catalog of Sherman,
Clay & Co., Mr. Pollack brought out some
interesting facts, which are recounted, in part,
below. "Doll Dance," written by Nacio Herb
P.rown, was originally featured in the Holly
wood Music Box Revue and was taken out
of the show and exploited as a popular number.
This instrumental number enjoyed an extremely
high degree of popularity and was featured in
practically every large motion picture or vaude-
ville theatre in the country. For example, "Doll
Dance" was featured at the Roxy Theatre in
New York for "three weeks, at the Paramount
Ernest R. Ball
Theatre for two weeks, and also at the Oriental
fur over the music counters of America. The Theatre in Chicago by Paul Ash for seven
famous Ball ballads are sung and played, bought weeks. "Charmaine," written by Erno Rapee
and sold throughout the length and breadth of the Roxy Theatre and Lew Pollack, started

To them is added the posthumous ballad, Price Glory?" and has become known as. the

"Diane," by the same writers as "Charmaine,"
& Sons, just before his sudden death in Cali-
fornia last May. The lyric of this song is by is the theme for "Seventh Heaven" and looks
J. Keirn Brennan, with whom Ball wrote some like even a bigger hit than "Charmaine." "Some-
of his greatest successes, including "Dear Little body Lied About Me" is a number that is show-
ing up very big on the Coast and was written
by Carl and Frank Emler and Gus Kahn. The
number will be published in both fox-trot and
waltz form and the orchestrations will be
ready soon.
In addition, the Sherman, Clay catalog in-
cludes "Dainty Miss," by Bernard Barnes,
