AN ACCIDENTAL HIT
"Me-ow," the New Sam Fox One-Step, Sur-
prises Even the Publishers by Its Popularity
Sam Fox, of the Sam Fox Pub. Co., who has
been spending the last two weeks in New York,
in a recent talk with The Review stated that
the success of "Me-ow," one of the featured
instrumental one-steps from his catalog, was an
accident. Now everyone in the trade is familiar
with accidental hits, but once a number is a
success there are few publishers who will admit
that the merit of the piece was not clearly fore-
seen before its publication. Mel Kaufman is
the composer of the number and its almost in-
stantaneous popularity is due to a great extent to
the novelty of the melody. The orchestras take
particularly to it and as a dance number it is
much in demand.
FEATURING ARTMUSIC NUMBERS
Madame Chilson Ohrman, who is now playing
a concert engagement in Brooklyn, is featuring
four numbers from the Artmusic, Inc., catalog.
These are "Forever Is a Long, Long Time,"
"When the Evening Bells Are Ringing," "Oh,
Wondrous Morn' " and "Waters of Venice."
McKinley's New Song Success
GREATEST "JAZZ" SONG EVER PUBLISHED
THAT "mother" songs still continue to hold
their own with new ones appearing on the mar-
ket steadily.
THAT after all these years the old man still
continues to be sadly neglected by the song
writers.
THAT local newspaper men are beginning to
show up strongly as successful song writers.
THAT it seems a come-back for the many song
writers who have tried their hand at being
authors.
THAT Fred Belcher, of Jerome H. Remick &
Co., is planning a trip to the Pacific Coast for
both health and business.
THAT a successful song writer who died re-
cently left to his widow an estate declared not
to exceed $1,000 in personal property, while an-
other song writer, also well known, left only
$3,000.
THAT it would be well to page all these for-
tunes that the newspaper writers maintain are
salted away by popular song writers.
THAT the official Pennsylvania State song,
"Old Pennsylvania of Mine," has twelve verses,
and recites the history of the State from the
time of its discovery.
THAT it is a question if school children will
enjoy singing history any more than reciting
it in the classroom.
THAT Leo Feist, Inc., have moved their Kan-
sas City offices to the Gaiety Theatre Building.
THAT "In the Shadow of the Desert Palm," a
new song, should make a strong appeal to the
anti-Prohibitionists.
THAT, according to general report, where there
is a palm in the desert there is generally to be
found an oasis.
FEATURING VANDERPOOL'S SONGS
Witmark & Sons Issue Booklet of Thematics of
Numbers by Frederick W. Vanderpool
M. Witmark & Sons are sending out to the
trade and to concert singers a booklet of the-
matics of the songs from the pen of Frederick
W. Vanderpool, the inside front cover of which
contains a short history of his rise to the posi-
tion he now holds in the musical world.
His new song "Values" is included in the
booklet, and this is one of the most promising
numbers he has ever written. The title page
carries a reproduction of one of the latest photo-
graphs of Mr. Vanderpool, and in the latter part
of the booklet is a list of his works that are
successfully used on the concert stage. On the
back cover appear the names of over thirty
prominent concert stars who are programming
Mr. Vauderpool's songs.

PROMISING NEW COMEDY SONG
"Bring Back Those Wonderful Days" Being
Featured by Many Singers
Nat Vincent and Darl McBoyle have written
one of the best comedy songs since "If I Were
Only Mr. Morgan" and the famous "Mr. Dooley"
in a song entitled "Bring Back Those Wonder-
ful Days." Among the stars programming the
number are Sailor Reilly, Ryan and Joyce, Trixie
Friganza, Frank Fay, Diamond and Brennan,
Carrie Lilly and Elizabeth Mayne. One of the
remarkable things about the fact that it is being
sung by a very substantial list of singers is that
no two acts sing the same verses. It seems
when it came to writing lyrics for the verses
and choruses that the authors left no topic or
subject uncovered. Another fact that is worthy
of mention is that, although Gilbert and Fried-
land are still a young team of song writers and
still younger publishers and have written and
are still writing successful songs, they are will-
ing to accept songs from outside sources when
they are good, and when the numbers give
promise of being suited to their use.
