HIT
OF
THE
YEAR
BY HAROLD WEEKS, WRITER OF "CHONG" AND CO-WRITER OF "HINDUSTAN"
PLAYED NIGHTLY BY
ORCHESTRAS EVERYWHERE
IT'S A NATURAL HIT
ShermanJPay&Co.
"ON MIAMI SHORE" A HIT
that it had sky-rocketed its way into public
favor.
This number, by the way, has had a lyric
written for it by Wm. Le Baron. It was pub-
lished just before the opening of this year's
"Ziegfeld Follies" and was introduced in that
production at the Atlantic City opening. This
was followed by a tremendous interest in the
number everywhere.
The publishers are now starting on a big
campaign covering every channel of publicity
and everything is being done to encourage the
momentum it has already shown and make it
one of the biggest waltz hits in years.
The municipal authorities of Miami, Fla., who
evidently are right up to date, consider the com-
ing popularity of this waltz will prove desirable
publicity for Miami and naturally are doing
everything they can to boost the number.
One of the chief boosters is Ernest Philpitt,
who operates music stores in Washington, Jack-
sonville, Tampa and Miami and who recently
reported that the sales in his territory have
created a record for waltz numbers; of course,
with the exception of "Missouri." Herewith is
reproduced a photograph of some of the boost-
ers of the "Miami Waltz," and it proves despite
the pleasures found in bathing in Southern
waters that the appeal of the melody is strong
enough for them to forego bathing for the time
being. From left to right those in the upper
photograph are: R. C. Bryan, Emerson Way,
Lorien Lee, Marshall S. Philpitt and S. Ernest
Philpitt. In the lower picture Philpitt and Lee
are shown cooling themselves and singing "On
Miami Shore" to those gathered around.
Miami, Fla., by the way, is proving the mecca
for the ever-increasing "Four hundred" and
Chappell & Co. are especially pleased that the
number will be popular in that resort.
Waltz Song Proving One of Season's Successes—
Miami Authorities and Dealers Paying Par-

"On Miami Shore," the waltz song success

Five "Miami Shore". Boosters
so popular that the title has been shortened
by many orchestra leaders and others interested
in that sort of music into "Miami Waltz." One

in the Middle West of the United States. The
journey was in the form of a vacation as well
as a trade trip.

TO PUBLISH "DREAM GIRL" MUSIC
Leo Feist Enthusiastic Regarding the Numbers
in the Score of New Comedy
The firm of Leo Feist, Inc., are publishing
the music for the musical comedy, "Dream
Girl." In a recent statement Mr. Feist said
that they had not published the score of a
musical comedy in a long while that appealed to
him as much as the numbers in this show. He
further believes that such songs as "Love in
Japan," "Think of Me," "Yesterday," "Jazz Bo
Blues" will be sung and played throughout the
country in a very short while. Advance re-
quests from dealers everywhere indicate a re-
markable sale, not forgetting talking machine
record and player roll manufacturers, who seem
anxious to secure orchestrations.
The entire staff of Leo Feist, Inc., are very
enthusiastic over the songs and especially is this
true in regard to the number "Dream Girl," and
they frequently make comparisons, as far as its
success is concerned, with the famous "Merry
Widow."
