Under the title: "The Sky Is the Limit," the
Century Music Publishing Co., New York, pub-
lisher of the Century Edition of Music, has
issued an impressive folder giving the details
of its national advertising campaign for the
current season, the sixteenth year in which the
company has carried advertising in the national
magazines.
This season over thirty of the leading maga-
zines of the country, including such publications
as the Ladies' Home Journal, Cosmopolitan,
Child Life, Woman's Home Companion, Chris-
tian Herald, Photoplay, True Story, Needlecraft,
Judge, Life, Better Homes and Gardens, and
a score of others, will carry the Century an-
nouncements to over 60,000,000 readers.
To get the full value of this advertising it is
necessary of course for the dealer to tie up
closely with the national campaign. To this
end the folder lists over twenty-five selling and
advertising helps for the dealer's use which are
furnished free upon request. These include
trade-marks, advertising cuts, movie slides, box
labels, signs, price cards, window streamers
and a variety of special catalogs for dealer dis-
tribution.
The success of the national advertising of the
Century Co. is best indicated by the fact that
each year the company increases the extent of
its campaign until at the present time, in the
matter of magazines used and readers appealed
to, it is the most extensive of its kind in the
sheet music field.
Brown and Von Tilzer
Write Three Numbers
MY HEART KEEPS ON SPEAKING
OF LOVE
"I Love Vanilla," "Dear, When I Met You"
and "A Happy Binding" the Latest From
This Song-Writing Team
SONG IS ENDED
The song-writing partnership formed this
Summer by A. Seymour Brown and Albert Von
Tilzer, whose reputation as hit writers dates
back nearly twenty-five years, has been a fer-
tile one and has produced to date at least four
numbers of real consequence. The first song
to be written by these men this Summer was
"He's Our Al," the campaign song, published
by the Broadway Music Corp., New York, of
(I'm cryin' 'cause I know
LOSING YOU
I'm)
NEW UNIVERSAL DANCE
FCLIO No. 15
which Will Von Tilzer, brother of Albert, is
head. This song has made itself heard on
countless radio and dance programs already,
and is developing along with the national Dem-
ocratic campaign for Alfred E. Smith as presi-
dent.
Three other numbers by these writers have
been released recently by the Broadway firm
and are beginning to show up well for the Fall
catalog. The first of these is a comedy number
called "I Love Vanilla," the catch-line being
" 'cause it doesn't leave a stain upon my vest."
This song is of the "banana" order, and pos-
sesses lyrics catchy enough to take on in a big
way. The other two songs, "Dear, When I Met
You" and "A Happy Ending," are real quality
numbers with a pleasing melody in Mr. Von
Tilzer's best style.
E. B. Marks Go. Issues
March Folio No. 1
Publication Contains Fifteen Marches Issued
by House During Past Thirty Years With
Many Old Favorites
As a companion publication to the folio, "Old
Time Hits," recently released by the Ed. B.
Marks Music Co., New York, that firm is now
issuing a march folio, compiled from its entire
catalog and covering nearly thirty years. The
collection is entitled "Forward March Folio
No. 1," and contains piano arrangements of
about fifteen favorite marches by such com-
posers as Paul Lincke, George Rosey, Herbert
Walter and others. Not the least interesting
feature of the folio is the attractive title page
in red, white and blue, showing the name of
the publication on a large bass drum. The
following are outstanding among the contents:
"Honeymoon March," "Anniversary March,"
"Hail to the Bride," "Gainsborough March," all
by George Rosey, and "Folies Bergere,"
"Laughing Cavalier," "Police Parade," "March
of the Siamese," by Paul Lincke, as well as
other old favorites.
Moore With Walter Kane
Tom Moore, who has been identified with
the music jobbing house of the Crown Music
Co., New York, for the past twenty-five years,
has become associated recently with Walter
Kane, Inc., 1595 Broadway. Mr. Kane entered
business as a music jobber about fifteen months
ago, having previously been identified with the
Crown establishment about twenty years.

Triangle Issues Many
Piano Novelty Solos
Music Publishing Firm Has Nearly a Dozen of
New Compositions of This Type in Its Latest
Catalog
A corner in the piano solo market is claimed
by Joe Davis, head of the Triangle Music Pub-
lishing Co., New York, temporarily at least,
with the issue of nearly a dozen such novelties
by various composers. Mr. Davis is working
on these numbers in his usual competent man-
ner, and has found the well-known recording
pianists and radio artists to be particularly in-
terested in them. All of the new releases pos-
sess real individuality and the publisher is con-
fident that they will develop into standard
selections with a steady demand over a period
of years.
"Serenata," by Rube Bloom, composer of
"Soliloquy," and other piano solos, was issued
by the Triangle concern a short time ago, and
is the first of the new list. The others are as
follows: "Punch and Judy," by Paul Vincent;
"Solitude, 1 by Spencer Williams; "Barbecue
Rhythm," by Muriel Pollock; "Meditation," by
Thomas Waller; "Dominola" and "Dance of
the Fireflies," by Eugene Platzman. A special
concert arrangement for piano of "I Ain't Got
Nobody" has also been prepared for the Tri-
angle firm by Spencer Williams.
The Music Trade Review
form as a piano solo. An unusual title page
has been obtained and the publisher feels con-
fident that it will attract attention on any music
counter.
While this number and "Just a Dance Pro-
gram of Long Ago" are shaping up for the Fall,
Mr. Piantadosi is enjoying the fruits of "Loui-
siana," a hot fox-trot, which has been very
active a.11 Summer. The Paul Whiteman record-
ing of "Louisiana" was recently purchased by
John Coolidge, son of the President, and Mr.
Piantadosi is cashing in on this fact by means
of a postcard sent out to the trade, reprinting
an item from the New York Telegraph describ-
ing the incident.
Donaldson Writing Score
of "Whoopee" for Ziegfeld
Plans are now under way in the music pub-
lishing concern of Donaldson, Douglass &
Gumble, Inc., New York, for issuing the score
of the new Ziegfeld production, "Whoopee,"
which will be produced in the early Fall
starring Eddie Cantor. Walter Donaldson, of
the publishing firm, is at present collaborating
with Gus Kahn on the score, and it is antici-
pated that this combination will prove a winner,
in view of their highly successful work as co-
writers at various times in the past. The firm
is now working on Walter Donaldson's latest
number, "Just Another Night," which is the
first waltz in the firm's catalog.
"Lady Fingers" to Be
DeSylva, Brown & Henderson
Issued by Al Piantadosi
Issue a New Folder
Novelty Number, Successor to "Dancing
Shadows," Shortly to Be Released by That
Publishing House
In view of the success he has had with the
novelette, "Dancing Shadows," during the past
season, Al Piantadosi, music publisher at 1576
Broadway, New York, has secured another
novelty number entitled "Lady Fingers," which
will be used as its successor. This number,
written by Jack Glogau and Joe Zimmerman, is
now on the press and will be released with a
special orchestration and also in sheet music
THE OVER-NIGHT
SENSATION
fflem 'ries
(Golden Memory Days)
The Musical Theme o(-7he Philco Radio Hour.
DeSylva, Brown & Henderson, Inc., have just
issued an interesting little folder, envelope size,
entitled: "A Message—To You From Us," call-
ing particular attention to the numbers written
by that trio for the George White "Scandals,"
and to some of the good work they are doing
for other prominent productions now running
or in prospect. The front of the folder bears
a group photo of the three successful young
publishers and writers, and on the back are
listed some thirty or more of the company's
outstanding song successes. It is a bit of
unusual publicity of the personal type which
should prove valuable.
"Felix the Gat" Is
Recorded by Whiteman
Paul Whiteman's recording of the novelty
number, "Felix the Cat," made recently on
Columbia records is expected to stimulate the
sheet music sales of this number, according to
executives of Sam Fox Publishing Co., New
York and Cleveland. The number was released
several months ago and an active national cam-
paign has been worked out by the publisher
tying up with the Pat Sullivan cartoon of the
same title in both newspapers and films.
