Popular Hits at High Figure
Daniels & Wilson, the well-known publish-
ing house of San Francisco and New York, have
just sold to Leo Feist, Inc., the song fox-trot
"Peggy," by Neil Mioret and Harry Williams.
This number has already been recorded by the
larger talking machine record and music roll
manufacturers and it has been persistently
played by the orchestras. It is understood that
Leo Feist, Inc., are to go after the number
on a big scale.
In addition to the above announcement
Daniels & Wilson have disposed of their rights
to the gypsy song, "Slow and Easy," described
as an indigo fantasy, to Waterson, Berlin &
Snyder.
Daniels & Wilson apparently are making it a
habit of writing successful songs, for during
the past season they have had several successes
that aroused high bids from competing pub-
lishers. Included in these numbers are "Mickey."

and "Yearning," the successful song and fox-

"I'm Waiting for To-morrow to Come" a Hit—
50,000 Copies Sold the First Week
The A. J. Stasny Music Co. recently added to
their high class catalog a new song entitled
"I'm W r aiting for To-morrow to Come," from
the pens of Frank Davis, F. Hawelka and M.
Prival. The number has become an immediate
success inasmuch as over 50,000 copies were
sold the first week. Stores are constantly
wiring repeat orders and in some cities where
it has been "plugged" the whole town is whis-
tling the number. These reports come from the
buyers of the music themselves. From all in-
dications "I'm Waiting for To-morrow to Come"
will be a most successful number.

ronto branch of Leo Feist, Inc., was a visitor
at the home office of his company during sev-
