"Dancing Shadows" Is
in Good Demand
Sheet music demand for the novelty fox-trot,
"Dancing Shadows," written by Ernie Golden,
and published by Al Piantadosi, New York, has
taken a "boom" following the record release
recently by Victor of the number by Paul
Whiteman and his orchestra. The Victor com-
pany has released an attractive poster announce-
ment of this record for use by dealers, which
is also helping sheet music sales. Mr. Piantadosi
is very enthusiastic over the showing of "Just a
Dance Program of Long Ago," his latest re-
lease, which is being played by many of the
leading orchestras. He reports that several
mechanical companies have shown interest in
this number and expects announcements of
recording release dates soon.
