FEATURING REMICK HITS
Theater Organists in Many Places Select Remick
Songs for Special Organ Numbers.
In many cities the organists in motion picture the-
aters make it a rule to select a Remick hit for their
own organ arrangements for featuring with specially
prepared slides. The numbers on the theater programs
attract patronage to the houses and incidentally in-
crease the sales of Remick songs at the local sheet
music counters.
The custom adds to the popularity of the Remick
songs. Here are a few of the numbers favored by the
organists:
I Told Them All About You; Who Knows; I'll
Think of You; A Night in June; Swanee Shore;
Gorgeous; Just Like a Butterfly; Surrender; Twing
a Ling; Banjo Eyes; Sail Rose; Russian Doll; Be-
neath Venetian Skies.
