New Berlin Number
Heard in New York
The latest contribution of Irving Berlin to
the publishing firm bearing his name is "Sun-
shine," and was written by the popular com-
poser while he was visiting in California. The
number was introduced in New York recently
at the Roxy Theatre, where it received an en-
thusiastic welcome. The catalog of Irving
Berlin, Inc., is now a strong one, with such
popular numbers a s : "Four Walls," by Billy
Rose, Dave Dreyer and Al Jolson; "Back in
Your Own Back Yard," by the same writers;
"Havin' My Ups and Downs," by Peter De
Rose; "Mary Ann," by Benny Davis and Abner

Publishers Get Decrees
for Copyright Violations
BUFFALO, N. Y., February 27.—Two decrees
against Buffalo district resorts for violation of
song copyrights to the extent of $138.40 each
have been filed in favor of Shapiro-Bernstein,
Inc., and Leo Feist, Inc. One is against the
Rendezvous, Buffalo, for infringement of "Side
by Side" and the other is against Oscar's Place
at Greenhurst for using "Sundown" in violation
of copyright. Four other complaints of similar
nature were entered at Buffalo.
Von Tilzer Songs on Records
Harry Von Tilzer, proprietor of the publish-
ing house bearing his name, reports that record-
ings of several of his former hits are being
made by the leading record companies. Among
the old-time favorites to be released in new
form with new arrangements are "Cubanola
Glide," "When the Harvest Moon Is Shining"
and "Last Night Was the End of the World."
a popular catalog that is stronger than any the
company has had thus far. The three leaders
are, of course, "Among My Souvenirs," "To-
gether" and "Henry Made a Lady Out of
Lizzie," all of which arc being used nationally
by the entertainment world at large. Sheet
music copies of these songs are selling on a
hit basis, and they have been recorded at least
100 per cent mechanically.
"Together," the latest product of the trio,
represented in the name of the firm, has just
been recorded three ways by Victor,—as a vocal
solo by Frank Bauer, a dance recording by
Fred Waring's orchestra, and a concert record
by Paul Whiteman and his orchestra. A special
dance arrangement of "One More Night" by
Frank Skinner has been released and is proving
highly popular with the large orchestras. Slide
presentations of "Tin Pan Parade" and several
other numbers are proving popular with motion
picture organists throughout the country, and
the results of this campaign are being reflected
consistently in dealer sales.
Recently, an intensive campaign in Jackson-
ville, Fla., on "Henry Made a Lady Out of
Lizzie," brought the song to the attention of
everybody, when the Royal Motor Co., local
Ford dealers arranged a special parade with a
huge wooden record mounted on one of the
new Fords. The stunt was arranged by Charles
S. Morrison, manager of the Arcade Theatre,
