exhibitors by "the National Screen Service as

focus popular attention on the number, which
has real merits as a song, judging by its early
reception. "; '
"The Woman Disputed" will have its first
showing at the Rivoli Theatre in New York in
the near future, where it will remain in-
definitely. To announce this event, the United
Artists, Inc., had a full-page pictorial adver-
tisement in the Sunday rotogravure section of
the New York "Herald-Tribune" recently, part
of which was devoted to a photograph of
Harold "Scrappy" Lambert, Brunswick record-
ing artist, holding and looking at a copy of the
song, "Woman Disputed, I Love You." Fifty
thousand copies of this page were sent to
United Artists' exhibitors with a suggestion
that they reproduce same in their local papers.
Music dealers will be provided with tie-up ma-
terials, window displays and the like during the
national run of the picture.

N. Y., recently and developed a real stimulus
to sheet music sales. Sam Braverman, music
buyer for the thirty-five Neisner Bros, stores,
most of them in Central New York State, was
responsible for the display and used similar
windows in all of the stores. During the week
of the Jolson display, sheet music sales ex-
ceeded those of the previous week by 95 per
cent and sales of Jewel and Perfect records
were increased by 85 per cent over the pre-
ceding week, which was quite a fair one by
itself.
The window was dressed attractively with
sheet music copies, records and music rolls
of "Sonny Boy" as well as with about seven
posters of Al Jolson. To clinch public interest,
a street loud-speaker playing a^ record of the
song caused thousands to pause.
