New Recordings of Marches New District Managers
by Columbia Executive
for Robbins Concern
Joseph M. Lacalle, musical director of the ex-
port department of the Columbia Phonograph Co.,
is represented in the February catalog of that
Joseph M. Lacalle
company by two marches composed by himself an-d
recorded by the Columbia band. They are "Hail
to the Flag" and "Friends Forever" and have won
popularity because of a clever combination of
characteristic Spanish melodies and American
form. Mr. Lacalle, who is a.native of Cadiz, came
to America as a young jpkn and has been asso-
ciated with the Columbia Co. for the past twenty
years.
New Type of Orchestra
Harry Kosarin, hailing from South America,
has organized an orchestra with special instru-
mentation, entirely different from anything ever
heard in the United States. The Combination
is known as the "Pan-American Orchestra."
All numbers will be specially arranged, and,
although the orchestra will play American mu-
sic as well as South American music, composi-
tions from South America will be principally
featured. Kosarin occupies the same place in
South American music circles as Whiteman oc-
cupies in this country. The deep impression
that South American music made on President-
elect Hoover, General Pershing and other prom-
inent Americans during their travels through
that country are responsible for the new ven-
ture.

Songs that Sell
Several additions to the staff of the Kobbins
Music Corp., New York, were announced this
week by J. J. Bregman, general manager of the
concern, who has charge of the organization
during the temporary absence of Jack Robbins,
now in California. These include Carl Zoehrns,
who will represent the Robbins' interests in
Baltimore, Washington and the entire State of
Pennsylvania, "Chick" Castle, who will cover
the Mid-West, concentrating on the Chicago
sector, and Robert Earle, who will be the firm's
sales emissary in the South.
Sig Bosley, in the meantime, continues to
represent the Robbins organization on the West
Coast, particularly in the "movie" territory;
Phil Wilcox is spreading the Robbins gospel
through the Middle Western States, and Ben
Goldberg serves the New England trade.
"Bernie" Prager continues, of course, as gen-
eral sales manager.
Mr. Robbins is expected to return to New
York within a few weeks, having been making
an inspection tour on the Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayer "lot" in Culver City.

New De Sylva Numbers
Sam Lerner, who has charge of the sales pub-
licity and photoplay version departments of
De Sylva, Brown & Henderson, Inc., New
York, will in the future handle all material per-
taining to masters of ceremonies using the
firm's numbers. Mr. Lerner stated this week
that "My Tonia," theme song of the photo-
play, "My Antonia," is living up to all predic-
tions made for it with the national release of
the film.
Four new numbers are showing up well in
the firm's popular catalog; they are "Sweet
Suzanne," "When the World Is at Rest," "Mean
to Me" and "Old Fashioned Lady." Mr. Lerner
stated that "Button Up Your Overcoat," from
the musical comedy, "Follow T h r u ' " is one of
the quickest production hits in years and that
"I'll Never Ask for More," is a best seller.

Joe Davis on Trip
Joe Davis, head of the Triangle Music Pub-
lishing Co., New York, left last week for a
short business trip to Chicago and a few other
points in the Middle West. Mr. Davis is ap-
pearing on radio programs in various cities,
and is singing several of the firm's numbers,
including a new one, entitled "It Ain't No Fault
of Mine." Mr. Davis is co-writer of this song
with Spencer Williams, composer of "I Ain't
Got Nobody." The song is a sensational com-
edy number and liked by professionals.
