PLANNING A BIG CAMPAIGN
Waterson, Berlin & Snyder to Use Sunday
Newspapers in Exploiting a Number of Their
Latest Song Productions
Waterson, Berlin & Snyder are making a big
publicity drive, featuring a number of songs
from their popular catalog. In addition to a
campaign with the vaudeville singers, orchestras,
cabarets and other avenues for popularizing
music, they will use a long list of Sunday papers
on March 30, inserting good-sized announce-
ments calling the attention of the readers to
the numbers. The papers used are among the
biggest in the country and it is estimated that
over eleven million people will read the adver-
tisements. The songs mentioned include:
"Don't Cry, Frenchy, Don't Cry," "When You
See Another Sweetie Hanging Around," "The
Music of Wedding Chimes," "Mickey," "How
'Ya Gonna Keep 'em Down On the Farm,", "My
Barney Lies Over the Ocean the Way He Lied
To Me," "Come On, Papa," "Down the Lane
and Home Again," "Heart of Humanity,"
"What'll We Do On Saturday Night When the
Town Goes Dry," "Jazz Baby," "The Tumble
Down Shack in Athlone" and "False Faces."
McKinley's New Song Success
GREATEST "JAZZ" SONG EVER PUBLISHED
THAT if prohibitionists could be compelled to
listen steadily to some of the anti-prohibition
songs now going the rounds, they would prob-
ably yell to have the Constitutional Amend-
ment repealed.
THAT some of the songs are not exactly con-
vincing, but they are certainly trying to the
nerves.
THAT the big question right now is, who is
going to secure the services of Irving Berlin
under contract. The news is about to break.
THAT
Al
Kornheiser
has
received
his
dis-
charge from the navy and has returned to his
old job with the Century Music Co.
THAT Harry Newman has turned from selling
ballads to selling underwear. Sort of turned
from heart tillers to heart coverings, as it were.
THAT Germans in the occupied areas are
arousing the ire of the doughboys by declaring
that most of the American popular songs played
by the army bands are based on old German
melodies.
THAT the peculiar thing is that the same claim
had been made even before the war in this
country, and sometimes with reason.
THAT more than one popular song writer of
the day can credit much of his success to the
excellent musical ideas of the dead masters of
Europe.
That Gilbert & F'riedland, Inc., are now the
selling agents of the song "Could I Change
Your Name."
