Demand Come-Back From Publishers for Lick-

The first luncheon of the Greater New York
Music Publishers' and Dealers' Association to
be held at the new rendezvous, Browne's Chop
House, occurred on Wednesday of last week,
and with over twenty-five numbers and guests
present, it seemed as though the new location
was a popular one. A special dining-room was
provided for the music men, with a table d'hote
luncheon served at the nominal price of a dollar.
Among the guests at the first luncheon at
Browne's were S. Ernest Philpitt, of Florida,
and his son, Marshall Philpitt, as well as John
Barnes Wells, the well-known composer. The
luncheons, as in the past, will be held each
Wednesday at 1 p. m.
PUBLISH "ATTA BOY" NUMBERS
Al. Piantadosi & Co. Add to Catalog Several
Songs From the New Soldier Show
Several of the most popular numbers in "Atta
Boy," the soldier show now playing at the Lex-
ington Theatre, New York, are now included in
the catalog of Al. Piantadosi & Co. They in-
clude: "I Love Her," "My Salvation Army Girl,"
and "The Stars in the Service Flag," all songs
strongly featured in the play, of which Frank
Tinney is the star.
"TRENCH TROT" PROVES A HIT
Lieutenant Jack Frost and F. Henri Klick-
mann have written a new song called the
"Trench Trot," which is being published by the
McKinley Music Co. The number has also
been issued in dance form, and it is now being
frequently heard in the dance halls and cabarets.
Lieutenant Frost has also written another new
song entitled "Cheer Up, They're Coming Home
To-day," published by the same company, which
is proving very popular.

Los ANGELES, CAL., January 11.—Raymond W.
Heffelfinger, proprietor of the sheet music de-
partment of the George J. Birkel. Co., secretary
and treasurer of the National Association of
Sheet Music Dealers, and one of the most
prominent music retailers in the country, died
at his home here yesterday of influenza and
pneumonia. Mr. Heffelfinger was only thirty-
four years old. He was married to Miss Pearl
Jordan in 1903, and leaves a widow and three
small children. His business was founded in
1903, and, in addition to retailing sheet music,
he also branched out to some extent as a jobber
and publisher.
* * *
The death of Mr. Heffelfinger is to be par-
ticularly regretted as removing from the ranks
of the really com-
paratively
small
number of exclusive
sheet music dealers
of the country one
of the most active
members. Mr. Hef-
felfinger was always
active in movements
designed to b r i n g
about better condi-
tions in the retail
s h e e t music field,
and was one of the
R. W. Heffelfinger
p r i m e movers for,
and organizers of, the National Association of
Sheet Music Dealers, which came into being in
1915, and of which he was secretary and treas-
urer. He was a man of strong convictions,
outspoken in his opinions, and proved a great
factor in bringing publishers to a realization of
some of the evils that existed in the trade and
which the Dealers' Association desired to have
eliminated.
The news of Mr. Heffelfinger's death was re-
ceived with great regret among the music pub-
lishers and dealers in and about New York, with
whom he did business and who realized of what
importance he was in the industry as a whole.
The officers of the National Association of
Sheet Music Dealers, the Music Publishers' As-
sociation of the United States and the Greater
New York Music Publishers' and Dealers' As-
sociation through J. M. Priaulx immediately or-
dered floral tributes by telegraph and extended
condolences to Mrs. Heffelfinger, both as of-
ficials and individuals.
Michael Keane, manager of Boosey & Co., ex-
hibited a keenly generous spirit when he tele-
graphed to Mrs. Heffelfinger offering to send
one of his experienced men to Los Angeles to
take charge of and run the business temporarily
until permanent arrangements could be made for
its continuance.

Although we have yet to see the first real
snow of the winter in New York at least, repre-
sentatives of local music publishers and vaude-
ville actors are already planning some active
meetings on the baseball diamond during the
coming season. The melody merchants wal-
loped the Thespians in a fourteen-inning game
last summer and the desire for revenge rises
strong in the breasts of the actors. The train-
ing will be done at various Broadway restau-
rants in view of the fact that most of the popular
cafes will have the "to let" sign on them after
July 1. The battle itself will take place at the
Folo Grounds according to present schedule.
DEATH OF ISRAEL JOSEPH
Israel Joseph, pianist and composer, who had
accompanied Max Rosen and other noted musi-
cians, died last week at his home in New York,
after an illness of two days of pneumonia. He
was born in Russia thirty-one years ago, and
came to New York when three years old. He
studied music under the leading teachers in this
city and made his first appearance as a pianist
when nine years old. His compositions in-
cluded "Japanese Lullaby" and "Hebrew Mel-
odies."
"KENTUCKY DREAM" USED
Arthur R. Zita, who conducted the orchestra
at the inauguration of Al. Smith, the new Gover-
nor of the State of New York, playing at the
inaugural ball, featured several numbers pub-
lished by Joseph W. Stern & Co., including
"Kentucky Dream" waltz. Mr. Zita incidentally
features Stern numbers very regularly in his
general program.
SINGING NEW MOTHER SONG
Among the prominent stars who are singing
"That's What God Made Mothers For," the
big ballad from the catalog of the Meyer Cohen
Music Co., is Marty McHale, former pitcher
for the New York Yankees, and more recently
a member of Uncle Sam's fighting forces, but
who since his discharge from the service has
accepted a long vaudeville engagement.
