MILLER MUSIC, Inc.
"Cigarettes, Cigars," "The Picture Bride,"
"Broadway Reverie" and "Your Sunny South-
ern Smile." Those who have collaborated in
providing the lyrics and music for the Fol-
lies include J. P. Murray, Barry Trivers, Ben
Oakland, Mac Gordon, Harry Revel, Gene
Buck, Dave Stamper and others. All the
numbers have been orchestrated under the di-
rection of Charles Miller, head of Miller Mu-
sic, Inc.
Miller Music, Inc., are also publishers for
the music of a new all-colored show, "Fast
and Furious," which had its tryout last week
at the Boulevard Theatre, Jackson Heights,
before being brought to New York. Harry
Revel and Mac Gordon are responsible for
the music of the piece, which is of the type
to become quickly popular.
Although the company has been in business
only about a year it has built up a very
successful catalogue of popuIaT music includ-
ing "Are You Sincere?", "One More Kiss,"
"Some Day, Sweetheart," "When The Roses
Bloom Again in Normandy," "Nighty Night,"
etc. The company also publishes all the com-
positions of William H. Woodin which have
been orchestrated by Mr. Miller and have a
wide appeal in many quarters.

NEW RUDY VALLEE SONG
USED AS RADIO SIGNATURE
"Toodle-Oo, So Long, Good Bye," Rudy
Vallee's overnight success published by the
Sam Fox Publishing Co., New York and
Cleveland, is rapidly becoming a recognized
closing signature for featured radio hours
throughout the country.
One of the most prominent radio artists suc-
cessfully using "Toodle-Oo, So Long, Good-
NEW YORK, N. Y.
Bye" is Allen Daniels, of radio station KEX,
Portland, Ore. Mr. Daniels has received
hundreds of telegrams and letters requesting
and commenting on this new parting song.
MAJORITY OF PUBLISHERS
RAISE WHOLESALE PRICES
Following the announcement by one pub-
lisher some weeks ago that the wholesale
price of popular sheet music would be in-
creased from 16J^2 to 18 cents per copy, a
great majority of the publishers have put the
same prices into effect during the month and
it now prevails generally.
As stated in THE REVIEW last month the
low price was adopted in the belief that it
would serve to stimulate sales sufficiently to
warrant its continuing. In actual practice,
however, the publishers were unable to note
any improvement and found that they were
simply inviting additional losses.
Although standard publishers have not
shifted wholesale prices a dozen or more of
them have adopted a new rule in reference to
copies of music ordered by dealers to be
shipped direct to the buyer. Hereafter, a
special service chaTge of ten per cent will
be made for all such shipments direct to
buyer which publishers claim will simply
cover the actual cost of packing and mailing.
