Jerry J. Vogel, general manager of the sheet
music division of the Plaza Music Co., New
York, has been awarded $23,858 in his suit
against the John Franklin Music Co., and its
president, John Franklin Sheridan. The suit
was based on Mr. Vogel's claim of twenty-five
per cent interest in the song, "Marcheta,"
alleged to have been promised him by Mr.
Sheridan, the composer, provided the former
use his influence in the music business to make
the song a "hit." The song netted Mr. Sheri-
dan and his concern about $400,000, according
to Mr. Vogel, and the latter received only
$10,000, hence the claim for $89,400. After
several preliminary hearings and postpone-
ments, the case was finally tried by Supreme
Court Justice Sherman in New York last week
with the resulting verdict awarding Mr. Vogel
$23,858.

Feist, Inc., New York. The record is operated
by the projection booth operator of the theatre
simultaneously with the showing of the song
slides, showing the latter to synchronize with
the music on the records. This process is
called the Slide-a-phone, which has been
booked for Publix and Stanley circuits as talk-
ing shorts, and will replace in part the slide
material used by theatre organists for this pub-
lisher.
The first Feist Slide-a-phone release is of
"I'm Sorry Sally," and the second will be "I'm
Betting on You" and others are scheduled for
release later. The records used are known as
Vitaphone stock and are about three inches
thick, which assures their non-breakability. The
record carries the same selection on both sides
so that the picture operator may pick up either
side for convenience and, in addition, the record
will have double wearing value.
