"Scenes de Carnaval"
Issued by Sam Fox
New Suite for Piano by Joseph Nussbaum,
Popular Arranger and Composer, Given Elab-
orate Printing
One of the most attractive standard publica-
tions to be released by the Sam Fox Publish-
ing Co., Cleveland and New York, during the
past year is a suite for piano, just released,
entitled "Scenes de Carnaval," by Joseph Nuss-
baum. Mr. Nussbaum, who has distinguished
himself in recent years as a popular arranger,
is beginning to loom up just as large in the
capacity of composer, having contributed the
highly successful novelty, "Fascinatin' Vamp"
to the Sam Fox catalog last Summer. "Scenes
de Carnaval" is a more serious work for piano,
descriptive in character.
The suite consists of four parts, "Pantomime,"
"Le Bouffon," "Scene d'Amour" and "Fete."
The work is thoroughly pianistic and, although
well within the range of piano students of the
third or fourth grades, makes a striking pro-
pram piece. The publication possesses a beau-
tiful title page in four colors, depicting the
gaiety of a carnival, the cover being printed
on heavy white stock in kid finish.
Many Revivals in Witmark
Black & White Series
Sales of Old Favorites Greatly Stimulated
Through the Medium of Radio Programs, It
Is Reported
The Witmark Black & White Series, respon-
sible in great part for the success and fame of
M. Witmark & Sons, New York, received fewer
additions during the past year than in practically
any other year of recent date. The reason for
this new policy is that there were a greater
number of revivals in this standard catalog
than in recent years. The special radio hours
have brought many of these classics to tin-
attention of both performers and listeners and
sales have followed in proportion to the re-
newed interest. Leading them all, of course,
are songs by the late Victor Herbert, whose-
music has been the feature of the year over the
air. The success of "Ah! Sweet Mystery of
Life," a success confidently predicted twelve
months ago and abundantly realized, has by no
means dimmed the luster of such other Herbert

Among the older favorites that seem to be

"Happy Ending" Gaining
Popularity in West
A telegram was received this week by Will
Von Tilzer, head of the Broadway Music Co.,
New York, from Ed Lowry, master of
ceremonies at the Ambassador Theatre, St.
Louis, Mo., with respect to the song "A Happy
Ending." This number is one of the new crop
of songs written by Albert Von Tilzer and A.
Seymour Brown and published by the Broad-
way firm. The telegram was as follows:
"Happy Ending running five and six encores
every show. Am delighted with it." Mr. Von
Tilzer states that sheet music sales of this
melodious number have been boosted recently
in various sections of the country due to
voluntary plugging of the song by enthusiastic
professionals. The waltz, "Dear, When I Met
You," by the same writers, is taking on well
also as the result of several nation-wide hook-
ups using the number.

president, in charge. The special guest was
John C. Bostelman, Jr., who had brought with
him from New York his "Visuola," which, it
was voted at the last dinner, should be given
a demonstration at some future time; and this
was the occasion. Also as guests were Bliss
W. Wiant, who is connected with the new
Pekin university at Pekin, China; and Grant
Schaffer, the composer, both of whom gave
brief talks following the dinner.
Mr. Bostelman's demonstration
of the
"Visuola" and his subsequent explanation and
statements occupied more than an hour and
he was bombarded with any number of ques-
tions, for the assemblage seemed disposed to
get a, really intelligent viewpoint of this at-
tachment which is undoubtedly such a help to
young beginners on the piano. Mr. Bostelman,
who gives his entire time to exploiting this
device, possesses an enormous fund of informa-
tion and so interested was his audience that it
was after ten before the members and their
guests dispersed. The attendance was unusually
large.

New Allert and Turk Song
Gets Quick Action
Fred Allert and Roy Turk recently placed a
composition called "I'll Never Ask For More"
with De Sylva, Brown & Henderson, Inc., New
York, which received fast action from the pub-
lishers. The song was accepted upon the first
hearing and was placed into work immediately.
"I'll Never Ask For More" has one of those
"homey" melodies such as Fred Allert has dis-
tinguished himself for in the past. The lyric is
excellent as well and gets an unusual treatment.
