A
Reminder!
The dealer who features "CENTURY"
Certified Music and lets his trade in on
the very biggest value known in sheet
music is not only looking out for his
customer's best interests, but is walking
away with the cream of the trade and
making his—the store of the town.
Are you HE—or is it your competitor ?

CHICAGO,
I I I . , February 1.—A
new company
known as the Bob Chamberlain Co. has made
its bow to the Chicago trade..
It maintains
headquarters at 608 South Dearborn street, Chi-
cago. It is offering a new number entitled
"When Johnny Comes Marching Home." The
words and music are by "Bob" Chamberlain,
whose father was the writer of the Illinois State
anthem, "Illinois." Another number, "Pussy
Willow Time," by the same writer, is meeting
with good success in the local theatres here.
GILBERT AND FRIEDLAND BACK HOME
Wolfe Gilbert and Anatol Friedland, the well-
known song writers and publishers, who have
been appearing in Western vaudeville houses,
are scheduled to return to New York early next
week and will be booked in the larger houses
in this vicinity.
"Heart of the Rose," a song from the Leo
Feist catalog, is being sung by a number of very
successful singers. The song is in the success-
ful show, "The Better 'Ole," and is in the high-
class catalog of the above firm.
McKinley's New Song Success
GREATEST "JAZZ" SONG EVER PUBLISHED
THAT SO many song writers are finding it
necessary to go to winter resorts in order to
complete their compositions that the alibi
threatens to be worn out.
THAT the publishers do not care particularly
so long as the song writers pay their own ex-
penses.
THAT Sam Fox, the Cleveland publisher, has
been sojourning in New York informing the
trade with due modesty of the good things in
the Fox catalog.
THAT Russell Weiss, publicity director of the
Fox house, arrived here a week or two before
his boss. Sort of advance agent.as it were.
THAT song writers and pluggers are being re-
leased from the military forces in droves, and
are scrambling to make up for lost time and
money.
THAT all the larger publishers appear to have
the song-buying habit. It has the advantage of
saving time in developing the numbers.
THAT the Prohibition Law will result in sub-
stantial saving to the professional departments,
in the matter of expense bills and pluggers.
THAT incidentally a lot of fellows are going
to stop singing the popular songs when the sup-
ply of liquid courage is cut off.
THAT the "Prohibition Blues" number bids
fair to become a second national anthem in the
near future.
THAT one of the soldier songs brought back
from France has thirty verses, only three of
which can be sung in public or in the'presence
oi: ladies.
THAT to date there is no record of any pub-
lisher trying hard to secure the rights to the
number in question.
THAT with the wartime ban off music roll
and talking machine record productions the old
mechanical royalty statements promise to grow.
THAT these same royalty statements have kept
many a struggling publisher in business.
