Irving Berlin, Inc., Secure
Rights to New Theme Song
HERE IT IS!
Will Publish "I'd Rather Be Blue Over You
(Than Be Happy With Somebody Else)" Fea-
tured by Fannie Brice in "My Man"
The Song you've had so many calls for
and thought it was an old one.
BUT IT'S NOT—IT'S NEW
and A NATURAL
Irving Berlin, Inc., New York, has secured
publication rights to another theme song that
bids fair to be as big a hit as "There's a Rainbow
'Round My Shoulder" from the "Singin 1 Fool."
The new number is the theme song sung by
Fannie Brice, entitled "I'd Rather Be Blue
Over You (Than Be Happy With Somebody
Else)" in her new Warner Bros, talking pic-
ture, "My Man." The picture had its premiere
on Broadway at the Warner Theatre recently,
and a record sale for a theme song in New
York has been reported after the picture had
been opened only a few days.
The firm is waging a tremendous campaign
on this song through all its branch offices, and
judging from the way the song has taken hold
it will undoubtedly become one of the big hits
of the new year. The company also reports
that Irving Berlin's song, entitled "Marie," fea-
tured in "The Awakening," is getting bigger
every day and also looks like a tremendous
success. The picture is being released in Keith
theatres everywhere, and orders for the number
are pouring in from all sections of the country.

ment of a bequest of $5,000 made to the Library
of Congress by the late Oscar G. Sonneck,
former Chief of the Division of Music in the
Library, and vice-president of G. Schirmer, Tnc,
New York, at the time of his death last October,
has just been made public here. It was Mr.
Sonneck's wish that the money be used for the
purchase of an original manuscript of Bach,
Handel, Haydn, Mozart or Beethoven. In addi-
tion to this gift, Mr. Sonneck, who has put his
residuary estate in trust for the benefit of his
immediate relatives, has left to the Library a
share in it, to become available at the termina-
tion of the trust when the personal beneficiaries
shall have deceased. The gift is unusual in that
it is., according to investigation by the Library
of Congress, the second bequest by a govern-
mental official to the Government.
