Fox Publishing Co., Cleveland and New York,
for the success of the firm's new orchestra
The interesting announcement by M. Wit- folio have been justified, according to the orders
mark & Sons, New York, that this firm is received from the trade in the past few weeks.
issuing a new, popular edition of Ernest K. This work, called the Sam Fox All-Star Orches-
tra Folio Vol. 1, was designed for use espe-
cially by school orchestras seeking composi-
tions, such as overtures, suites and the like. J.
S. Zamecnik, professional director of the com-

Ernest R. Ball
Hall's "In the Garden of My Heart" is certain
to be received by the trade with a great deal
of enthusiasm. Last year about this time the
Witmark house announced that general public
interest warranted a revival of Victor Herbert's
"Ah! Sweet Mystery of Life," and in a few
months this classic was outselling present-day
waltzes all over the country. The firm has
made the practice in recent years of waiting
for the precise time when a revival of a Black
and White favorite is most suitable, and then
the piece is repopularized by a detailed national
campaign. This has been done with several
Victor Herbert pieces, such as "Gypsy Love
Song," "Kiss Me Again" and others.
The lyric to "In the Garden of My Heart" is
considered by many to be as beautiful as the
musical setting and was written by Caro Noma
in her best manner. The new edition of the
song has a pictorial cover, which will draw at-
tention to it on music counters. This ballad
has always enjoyed a steady demand for con-
cert, theatre and radio use, and is available for
all vocal and voice combinations besides hav-
ing plenty of orchestra and band arrangements
in many kevs.
Release of Film "My Man'
Brings Revival of Song
A revival of interest in the song "My Man''
(Mon Homme) is vouchsafed for the trade with
the national release of the Warner Bros. Vita-
phone picture of the same title, starring Fannie
Brice, who did more than any other person to
popularize this number when it came out a few
years ago. "My Man" is published by Leo
Feist, Inc., New York, and has been a standard
seller in the Feist catalog for many years under
class C. The firm is prepared to assist the trade
in tying up with the Vitaphone picture and has
made available special window display material,
streamers and a large supply of sheet music.
The song is also available on the rolls and
records of practically every mechanical com-
pany.
