Shop of Portland, Ore., received a request from Nor-
way for a copy of the song, "Every Little Move-
ment Has a Meaning of Its Own." Just why the
request was sent to Portland Mr. Sklare w r as unable
to say, except that possibly the solution of it is that
the song was advertised in the Oregonian years ago
and the paper may have just reached faraway Nor-
way.
The new novelty number, "Rag Doll," composed by
