On Monday of this week the songwriters
and staff of the Providence offices of Jerome
H. Remick & Co. held a novel entertainment
at Rhodes Casino, that city.
There was a competition for various dance
prizes, but the feature of the evening was an
amateur songwriters' contest, affording the local
talent of Providence an opportunity to prove
whether they possessed qualifications essential
to composing popular songs.
Eddie Mack, manager of the Providence
office of Jerome H. Remick & Co., is respon-
sible for the idea, and it is his intention to
have his firm publish the winning composition.
Contestants were placed under no obligation,
with the exception that it was necessary for
each and every amateur songwriter to sing his
or her own composition.
