Plant "Century Edition" Now
The big feature of the convention of the Feist
managers last week, and for that matter a dis­
tinct feature in the pop ular music and theatrical
world, was the opening of the elaborate new
Feist professional studios at 711, Seventh ave­
nue. A. lthough the n ew offices have be en occu­
pied for several weeks the formal opening was
delayed until everything was complete.
The n~\\ s tudio s, which occupy an e ntire floor,
are without question the m ost elaborate of their
kind in th e country. The entrance is through
an Italian Re naiss ance doorway, paved with '
ground Caen sto ne, and opcninf" into th e main
rec eption room or rialto. The rialto itself is a

Chas. K. Harris Secures Rights ·to New Num­
ber Based on Successful Play
C has. K. Ha rris ha s secured the publishing
rights to a new song, entitled "Da ddies," writ­
ten by .\bel Gree n and Sam Coslow. The num­
ber is taken from a comedy of the same name
produced under th e direction of David Belasco,
which is' still pl aying in th e L yceum Theatre,
New York, and scoring big. .
The lyric and music closely follow the play
and the title page is taken from one of th e
scen es . Ina smuc h as t.his show will tour the
road from coast to coast for several seaso ns
the song will be long before the public.
.\ new song entitled "Breezes" ("Blow My
Baby Back to Me" ) is being rushed into print
by Shapiro, Bernstein & Co., Tnc. The number
has been received with enthusiasm by both the
professional and sales staff of the firm and it
is predicted th at it will be one of the bigge st
sellers of th e year.

stained glass windows, a handsome fountain of

entire plan of the establishmetit was conceived
by Leo Feist himself, who spared no expensp. in
carrying out th e idea, and he is enti tled to sin­
c<"rest co ngratula tions.
Just to insure good luck, the anci ent Swastika
symbol appears at frequent intervals in th e
decorative sche me, and although official atten­
tion has not been called to th e fact, the num­
ber 71 J, the address, . is not in any sense to be
considered a s an omen o f ill luck. Those mys­
tic figur es have brought good fortune to more
than one man who lik'es to take chances in
!tying his luck.
