JAY WITMARK TELLS OF TRIP
Visits Western Centers After Returning From
Europe—Hears Many Witmark Productions
OCTOBER 2, 1920
WHITEMAN'S ORCHESTRA A HIT
Clever Aggregation of Musicians Now Appear-
ing at the Palais Royal, New York
Paul Whiteman's band, which has been well
known for the past few seasons on the Pacific
Coast and which recently played a Summer en-
gagement at the new Ambassador Hotel, At-
lantic City, opened on Wednesday night of last
week at the Palais Royal, New York.
Gill Boag, manager of the Palais Royal, made
a special trip to Atlantic City and immediately
negotiated for the organization's appearance at
Paul Whiteman
the Palais Royal opening and tendered a con-
tract for the season.
Mr. Whiteman has a unique organization, and
it is said by some to be the cleverest of all
jazz aggregations. It played at the Fairmont
Hotel, San Francisco, originally, and later was
engaged to play at the Ambassador Hotel,
Santa Barbara, and also the Alexander Hotel,
Los Angeles. Its appearance in the East has
been little short of a sensation, and its New
York engagement will be enthusiastically re-
ceived in the metropolitan district.
Mr. Whiteman and his organization also

chine Co.
A BIG SELLER
Jay Witmark, who recently returned from a
trip to Europe, quickly departed on a tour of
the Middle West trade centers, following which
he is now again at his desk. While on the road
he ran into several of the Witmark production
successes. In Detroit he witnessed the new
'"Dearie" show, founded on Lillian Russell's old
success, "Wildfire." At the Auditorium in Chi-
cago he noted the enthusiasm with which the
production of the spectacle "Aphrodite" was re-
ceived, for which Witmark published the song
"Alexandria." He found all the stores in Chi-
cago making special displays of this number.
"Buddies," another musical show, is also having
a successful Chicago run, and the music is hav-
ing a good demand. While Western business
with the trade has been quite dull, recent weeks
have shown a decided improvement, and he
particularly found seyeral Witmark popular
numbers were having favor. These include
"Let the Rest of the World Go By," "Down
the Trail to Home Sweet Home," "Tripoli" and
"Who'll Take the Place of Mary."
