Some Recent Fox Co.
Publications of Promise
THE DAWN BROUGHT ME
LOVE AND YOU
AT THE END OF THE
DAY. WITH YOU
The Sam Fox Publishing Co. reports a very
satisfactory demand for a number of its recent
publications, including the ballad "At the End
of Cobblestone Road" by Carlo & Sanders and
Tom Burke, which is being featured by the
Happiness Boys, the Capitol Family and on sev-
eral radio programs; "When Twilight Comes,"
by H. J. Pandler, which has been recorded by
John McCormick, and "Bambina," a lively fox-
trot by Allan Stewart and Don Kendall. The
latter is a fox-trot that has a very appealing
melody.

Benny Davis Featured
Artist at the Capitol
Benny Davis was a featured artist at the
Capitol Theatre during the entire week begin-
ning April 11, presenting a number of his song
successes including several from the catalog of
Davis, Coots & Engel, Inc., among them
"Sharing," which he wrote in collaboration
with J. Fred Coots, and the popular "Dream
Avenue." Mr. Davis also appeared with the
Capitol Theatre Family in its radio program
on Sunday evening, April 13. Later on Mr.
Davis embarked on a fifteen-week vaudeville
tour over the Loew circuit.
Late in July Benny Davis and J. Fred Coots
will leave for the Coast to write additionaal
songs for the forthcoming film production of
the stage success, "Sons C Guns" in which Al
Jolson will be starred.
While in New York recently John Abbott, of
the English firm of Francis, Day & Hunter,
closed a deal with Harry Engel whereby his
company will represent the Davis, Coots &
Engel catalog abroad. Altogether the new
company appears to be making noteworthy
progress in all directions.
"Song of the Islands," the Hawaiian hit pub-
lished by the Edward B. Marks Music Co., bids
fair to set some new high marks in the number
of times it is being recorded by the various
phonograph companies. To date there arc three
Victor records of the number, one a Hawaiian
recording, the second a waltz arrangement by
Wayne King and his orchestra, and the third an
organ record by Jesse Crawford.
Okeh has gone Victor one better by listing
four separate records of "Song of the Islands,"
one by the famous Armstrong Orchestra, an-
other an Hawaiian orchestra, then an organ
solo and a vocal quartet. Records have also
been made of the number by Brunswick, Co-
lumbia, Cameo, Velvetone, Perfect, Banner, and
other records.
Now Professional Manager
For Davis, Coots & Engel
Elmore White, formerly professional man-
ager for DeSylva, Brown & Henderson, has
joined the firm of Davis, Coots & Engel in the
same capacity, and has also become a junior
partner. He will be assisted by Matty Levine,
also formerly of the D. B. & H. staff.
Tony Pace, well-known orchestra and re-
cording man, has joined the stafF of Davis,
Coots & Engel as assistant to Nat Schaiken.
