THE BUSHMAN'S CALL IN NEW SONG
BOOSEY & CO.'S BIG AD CAMPAIGN
ISSUES SONG WITH ONLY ONE VERSE
New Number by Brett & Motzan Entitled
"Coo-ee" Features the Australian's Call
Patriotic and Semi-Patriotic Songs in the Com-
pany's Catalog Being Strongly Featured in
Various Ways—Three Leading Numbers
Jeff Brannen Introduces Conservation Idea Into
Popular Music
We have had every kind of a song, including
Indian, Hawaiian, Japanese, Chinese and even
those bordering on the Arabian, but it remained
for Leila Brett and Otto Motzan to give us
something new and original. Their latest num-
ber is called "Coo-ee" (The Australian Bush-
man's Call). There is very little doubt but that
this number will be heard in one of the musical
shows during the coming season, as several of
the leading stars in the musical comedy field
have heard it and are very enthusiastic over its
future. Professional copies of the number are
now being issued and a live campaign of pub-
licity is planned by the Karczag Publishing Co.,
Inc., the publishers of the song.
Boosey & Co. have started a publicity cam-
paign featuring the patriotic and semi-patriotic
songs of their catalog. Of special importance
to the trade is the fact that the numbers with-
out exception have proven excellent sellers in
England and the British Colonies, including
Canada. While it is not true that all English
successes repeat their performance in this coun-
try it can be remarked that the ballads gen-
erally do.
Besides advertising their songs in a number
of publications other methods are being em-
ployed by Boosey & Co. not only calling the
trade's attention but also serving to attract the
public.

Along with all the talk of conservation and
economy, we now have with us the popular song
with a single verse, instead of the usual two or
three. The latest innovation is the work of Jeff
Hrannen, the song writer and publisher, and is
presented in the new number, "When the Sun
Goes Down in Normandy." Jeff declares that
nobody sings the second verse of a popular song
anyway, so why waste the effort to write and
