The Marks Co. is issuing the first of Nichols'
special arrangements embracing seven of the
greatest favorites in its catalog. These are be-

"Ida, Sweet as Apple Cider," "Roly Boly Eyes,"
"My Gal Sal," "Original Dixieland One-Step,"
"Ballin' the Jack," "Jazz Me Blues" and "Shim-
Me-Sha-Wabble." Cables received from Mr.
Marks in England report that his description of
the Nichols arrangements has met with en-
thusiastic approval in that country and the
promise at least of substantial orders when the
orchestrations are ready. The Marks salesmen
over here anticipate a record sale for all.

Nichols' orchestral arrangements during that
time. Mr. Nichols is recognized as one of the
premier exponents of modern rhythms. His so-
called "hot" arrangements have been the sensa-
tion of the past season. Not only is he un-
doubtedly among the best-known "hot" trump-
eters in the world but his genius in extracting
the ultimate from modernistic syncopation
amounts to virtuosity.

"Lady Lindy, We're All for You," Dedicated to
First Woman to Fly the Atlantic Ocean
A new, topical song, "Lady Lindy (We're All
for You)," inspired by the trans-Atlantic flight
of Amelia Earhart, has just been released by
M. Witmark & Sons, New York. The number
is a tuneful waltz and was written by Henry
W. Neely and Harold Levey. The song was
given a big send-off on the occasion of the
initial radio appearance of Amelia Earhart in
Madison Square Garden, New York, on
Wednesday, July 11, over WiEAF and a hook-up
of forty stations. The program was sponsored
by the Chrysler Motor Co., when introducing
the new Chrysler motor car. The new song,
dedicated of course to the aviatrix, was sung by
Tudson House, tenor, after which Howard
Wade Kinsey, well-known song leader, re-
hearsed the entire audience before the appear-
ance of Miss Earhart. It was later played by
the band when "Lady Lindy" made her en-
trance in a new Chrysler car.
The Witmark house has issued an attractive
souvenir edition of the song with a fine portrait
of Miss Earhart on the cover. Inasmuch as
she is to make a tour of the entire country
within the next few weeks a big demand is
anticipated by M. Witmark & Sons, who are
at work on plans to enable dealers to tie up
with her appearances in each locality.
