THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
NEW CENTURY NUMBER
"Just At the Break of Day" the Latest Addition
to Century Catalog
ThousandsConvinced!
This war has proved that "America's In-
dustries" can produce as good and better those
things we greatly depended on Foreign Coun-
tries supplying before the war.
"CENTURY" has played an important role
in this field by convincing thousands of mu-
sicians (who before the war would use nothing
but high-priced European Editions) that they
could get the same as good or better in the
"ALL-AMERICAN 'CENTURY' CERTIFIED
EDITION" at only 10c a copy. And they buy
more of it because they can afford to—hence,
your eventual profits are very much greater.

Century Music Pub. Co.
The Century Music Co. announce to the trade
a new song by Sidney Rosenfeld and Gertrude
Finney entitled "Just At the Break of Day."
On this new issue, which is published in black
and white, known as the Will Wood edition,
they are making a very special price on both
the initial and the first repeat orders. Accord-
ing to all reports the trade is finding a ready
sale for this new song and it is said the song
needs only to be demonstrated for it to be sold.
The Century Music Co. make only a limited
number of additions to their catalog each year
and the above announcement has been in the
nature of a surprise to the trade.
STASNY SONG GOING BIG
The A. J. Stasny Music Co. has not felt any
slump in the sales of "It's Never Too Late to
Be Sorry," their leading song, during the holi-
day season. This is a condition that several
publishing houses felt in regards to their hit
songs which this year continued in demand de-
spite the precedent established years ago that
there should be a lull in the demand.

"SMILES" BIG HIT IN FRANCE
So Declares Helene Davis, Who Sang That Song
on Tour of Y. M. C. A. Huts
Upon returning from France last week after
having toured the army camps in that country
as a member of the Over There Theatre League
of the Y. M. C. A. Helene Davis (Mrs. Ned Way-
burn), the singer, gave an interview to the New
York Globe in which she said that the favorite
song of the doughboys just now was "Smiles."
"The song was just beginning to catch on
when we started over," declared Miss Davis.
"I knew enough of popular songs to spot it as
a sure-fire hit, so I taught it to the gobs and
the buddies and the ship's crew and the cap-
tain on the way over. Then when we got there
I taught it to the tommies and the poilu and the
little French kids. Did they like it? My dear,
they ate it up. They won't drop it even now,
and probably ten years from now the black
babies in the Congo will be singing whatever is
Congo lingo for 'Smiles.'
"I sang it so much myself that the boys be-
gan to call me 'Smiles,' and nothing else. I bet
most of them over there think that's my reg-
ular name."
