get
PHILADELPHIA, PA., January 22.—The annual con-
cert given by convict talent in the Eastern
Penitentiary of the State of Pennsylvania was
held at the institution here recently. A fifty-
piece convict band, trained under the direction
of F. Kenney, local manager for Leo Feist,
Inc., New York, gave an interesting program,
composed of current hits from the Feist cata-
log. Herbert Morse and Don Travelinc as-
sisted Mr. Kenney in preparing the band for
the concert and the program was* broadcast
ever the National Broadcasting Co. network,
through -Station W I P , at Gimbel Bros.
The following Feist numbers were featured:
"Jeannine, I Sing of Lilac Time," "My Black-
birds Are Bluebirds Now," "You're a Real
Sweetheart," "My Mother's Eyes," and "Sweet
Forget-Me-Not."
Compliments on the band
and orchestra work of the inmates poured into
the offices of the superintendent of the peniten-
tiary from all parts of the country with par-
ticular emphasis on the singing of the Feist
songs by Convict No. 1938, as the tenor of the
prison quartet whose wonderful voice captured
the hearts of his unseen audience.

Theme Songs Sell Big
FRANCISCO, CAI.., January 21.—Sheet music
dealers have been actively cashing in on photo-
play theme songs here in view of the live pub-
lic interest in pictures. John P. Broder, who
conducts a sheet music counter in the store of
the Union Music Co., is particularly enthusias-
tic over this class of popular music and has
effected several valuable tie-ups. One of the
best sellers, according to Mr. Broder, is "Sally
of My Dreams," theme of the William Fox
production, "Mother Knows Best." This num-
ber is one of many successful theme songs pub-
lished by De Sylva, Brown & Henderson, Inc.,
which is one of the best known publishing con-
cerns, with offices in New York City.
A group of hit songs is included in the pres-
i nt catalog of Irving Berlin Inc., New York,
which possesses several active photoplay theme
songs. Among the latter are "There's a Rain-
bow 'Round My Shoulder" from "The Singing
Fool," "I Loved You Then As I Love You
Now" from "Dancing Daughters"; "Marie," writ-
ten by Irving Berlin, from "The Awakening";
"I'd Rather Be Blue Over You (Than Be
Happy With Somebody Else)" from "My
Man," featuring Fannie Brice; "Pals, Just Pals"
from "Submarine," and "Heart of Mine" from
"Noah's Ark." Other popular songs are
Another Sensational Hit
headed by "I'll Get By," which is spreading like

wildfire. The firm predicts that "I'll Get By"
will be one of the outstanding hits of the year
within the next four weeks.
Irving Berlin's "How About Me" has already
-tepped out in first place and the other songs
that are beginning to look like real big hits
;«.re "Spell of the lUucs", "Whatcha Gonna Do
1)(> Now," " Fa Fa Father." The firm's cam-
paign will be concentrated on the songs men-
tioned in the preceding paragraph during the
next few months.
