Hlack and White number suddenly becoming a
hit is the delightful little song, "Mammy's Lit-
tle Kinky-Headed Boy," written by George J.
Trinkaus and Joseph White. This number was
given a strong plug recently over the air by a
number of prominent artists, among them the

1927 a Year of Progress
for House of Witmark
plies particularly to their now famous catalog,
"A World of Good Things for Schools and Col-
leges," which has been enriched by several very
noteworthy and already successful additions
since January. These include a fine selection of
part songs of all kinds, as well as several
distinctive cantatas from the pen of the gifted
Richard Kountz, such as "Caravan," "In Wood-
land" and "American Ode," and two new oper-
ettas to the long and favorite series by Arthur
A. Penn, these last two being "Tommy Murphy's
Christmas," and "The Vagabonds."
In the popular field the Witmark house has
more than held its own. One of the biggest
musical comedy successes Broadway has ever
enjoyed, "The Merry Malones," has a brilliant
and popular score published by Witmark. The
production is rich • in George M. Cohan song
hits, among which are "Molly Malone," "Like
.the Wandering Minstrel," "Roses Understand,"
"Blue Skies" and "Easter Sunday Parade."
Finally there is that Gibraltar of the Witmark
business, the Witmark Black and White Series.
Songs may come and go, but the Witmark
