Some of the Excellent Features of the Current
Catalog of the Sam Fox Publishing Co.
"O-hi-o," "Margie" and "Broadway Rose" Top
List of Favorites on Pacific Coast
Jack Mills, head of Jack Mills, Inc., the pro-
gressive popular music publishing house, is gath-
ering to his organization executives of the high-
est caliber. Recently it was announced that Phil
Ponce, who is consid-
ered one of the most
successful p o p u l a r
music salesmen of the
country, had been ap-
pointed sales manager
of the organization.
Irving Mills is man-
ager of the band and
orchestra department,
and Louis Cohn, who
Phil Ponce
has had long experi-
ence in professional, trade and other chan-
nels of the industry, has been appointed man-
ager of the professional department. Milt
Hagen is in charge of publicity. In addition
it was also recently announced that Sid Caine,
an industrial engineer and graduate of New
York University, had joined the organization.
Among the numbers in this season's catalog
of the Sam Fox Pub. Co., Cleveland, O., are
two from the pen of J. S. Zamecnik, "Blue Bells"
and "In a Canoe," as well as "Scented Violets"
by Jules Reynard, "Dancing Nymphs" by Robert
Braine and "In Arcadia" by Gatty Sellars.
In the company's "vocal" catalog are: "Heart's
Delight" by James H. Rogers, "Just Like Your
Eyes" by Homer Grunn, "Until the Dawn" by
Clay Smith and "Come, for It Is June"; "A
Wild, Wild Rose," "Garden of Summer" and
"A Little Home With You," all of which are
b} r Dorothy Forster.
Two new "Operastyle" songs are "Biddy"
and "My Cuban Rose." This catalog was de-
signed for songs of the musical production type.
The popularity of "Biddy" has reached as far
as Cuba, judging from the fact that a leading
dealer there has been ordering it in substantial
quantities.
The latest popular number of the catalog is
"Blue Jeans" by Harry D. Kerr^and Lou
Traveller, both of Los Angeles. It has already
shown indications of being recognized as a hit
before the season progresses far.
The Sam Fox Pub. Co. recently issued two
new orchestra folios, one under the title of
"Sacred Orchestpa Folio" and the other "Sam
Fox Orchestra Folio No. 9." The former is
particularly for Sunday school orchestras and
amateurs generally. It comprises all new and
original material.
HARRIS TO PUBLISH "ROAMING"
Chas. K. Harris has secured the publication
rights of a new number entitled "Roaming."
This song has already shown indications of being
one of the big fox-trot successes of the coming
season. It has already been arranged for
recording by several record and roll firms.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAI.., December 24.—The new
song "O-hi-o," published by F. J. A. Forster,
Chicago, 111.; "Margie," a Waterson, Berlin &
Snyder publication, and "Broadway Rose,"
published by Fred Fisher, Inc., are probably
the three biggest hits of the new song numbers
in San Francisco. The latter song is being
played at the Tivoli Theatre in one-step and
fox-trot time as well as a waltz by the or-
chestra at that place as a feature of the week.
Sales of "Margie" are becoming phenomenal
and "O-hi-o" is being listed professionally by
many artists as a result of the work of Sig
Bosley, local manager for the Forster com-
pany.
Phil Furman, San Francisco manager for the
Irving Berlin Co., is singing "Rosie," a new
number at the Orpheum Theatre in Oakland
this week. Mr. Furman has vigorously pushed
the new Berlin number, "Home Again Blues,"
with much success.
ONE OF THE RECENT SONGS
Kate Stapleton Roskopp is responsible for the
music of a new song entitled "My Rose of Long
Ago," for which Will Prentis has supplied the
lyrics. It is being published by the Chas. E.
Roat Music Co., Ltd., of Battle Creek, Mich.,
which has placed it in the standard catalog of
that house. "My Rose of Long Ago" is a high-
class number with a popular appeal both in
words and music.
