"PASSING SHOW" A SUCCESS
New Winter Garden Attraction Proves Delight-
ful Entertainment—Remick Publishing the
Production Numbers—Waterson, Berlin Inter-
polation a Hit—"Smiles" the Big Song
"The Passing Show of 1918" opened at the
Winter Garden, New York, on Thursday of last
week. This is the seventh of the series, and
proved all in all one of the best productions the
Shuberts have ever produced at this season. The
book and lyrics are by Harold Atteridge and the
music is by Sigmund Romberg and Jean
Schwartz, the whole being staged by J. C. Huff-
man.
There are two acts and thirteen scenes, some
of them quite thrilling, such as the one showing
the bombing of London by aircraft. The show
proved a good entertainment and the New York
papers almost without exception predict a long
tour for it after the New York engagement
closes. As a music show it is up to par and a
number of the songs will without doubt become
favorites of the season. One of the leading
numbers, "Smiles," has already taken the town
by storm. Probably one of the most talked
about numbers of the whole show was "My
Baby-Talk Lady," which was sung by Frank
Fay, Charles Ruggles and a bevy of girls desig-
nated as Thrift Stamp Beauties. Other num-
bers are "I'm Over Here and You're Over
There," "The Galli-Curci Rag," "Trombone
Jazz," "Salome," "Oh, Those Vampire Girls,"
"The Squab Farm," "I Really Can't Make
My Feet Behave," "Go West, Young Girl,"
"Won't You Buy a War Stamp" and "Dress,
Dress, Dress," all published by J. H. Remick &
Co. There were several interpolations, includ-
ing a song by Joe Young and Jean Schwartz
entitled "I'll Make an Angel Out of You," pub-
lished by Waterson, Berlin & Snyder. Among
the stars in the new production are Eugene and
Willie Howard, George Hassell, Frank Fay,
Charles Ruggles, Virginia Fox Brooks, Fred and
Adele Astaire and Isabel Lowe.
Otto P. Schroeder, traveling representative of
the Waldo Music Co., Utica, N. Y., is now mak-
ing a Western trip visiting the trade. He is as
usual featuring the firm's big selling number,
"Face to Face."

Committee Makes Trip to Massapequa to Ar-

Los Angeles Publishers Secure Sole Rights to
New Number—Two Other Catalog Additions
Are Proving Themselves Popular
The entertainment committee in charge of the
annual outing of the Greater New York Music
Publishers' and Dealers' Association on Tuesday
of last week made an automobile trip to Massa-
pequa Inn, Massapequa, L. I., to make arrange-
ments for the outing on August 20. The trip
was made in Maurice Richmond's car and the
committee was composed of J. T. Roach, chair-
man; Maurice Richmond, Walter Eastman and
Joseph Glassmacher. Thomas N. Hinds, of
Hinds, Hayden & Eldredge, Inc., and Edward
Sullivan, of the Witt Co., Pittsburgh, Pa., ac-
companied the party as guests. While all the
arrangements were carried out most success-
fully, there was much disappointment on the re-
turn, and it was even said there was gnashing of
teeth when it was discovered that Joe Glass-
macher, the treasurer of the above association,
refused to permit the expenses for the day to be
charged to the association. Joe on several occa-
sions has shown he is proper guardian of the
loot.
W. A. Quincke & Co., the well known music
publishers of Los Angeles, Cal., announce that
they have purchased from Bickhart's Song Shop,
Minneapolis, Minn., all the rights to the clever
rag entitled "Town Talk," composed by Elmer
Olson, author of several successful numbers.
J. N. Hall, sales manager for the Quincke firm,
is convinced that "Town Talk" will go over for
a sure hit.
"What little publicity we have thus far given
it has proved not only a worthy investment,
but showed that the sales were larger than we
had anticipated," he said. "Town Talk" is pub-
lished as an instrumental number for piano solo
and for orchestra under the Quincke & Co. copy-
right and imprint.
"Blue Devils" March, and "Falling Leaves"
Reverie, are two new additions to the Quincke
catalog, having just been placed on the market.
They are not only attractively gotten up, but
show possibilities of a very bright future, so
far as sales totals are concerned.
