MUSrC TRADE REVIEW
APRIL 2, 1921
CONDUCTED BY V. D. WALSH
PLANNING FOR "MY MAMMY" WEEK
SOME PACIFIC COAST NEWS
Irving Berlin, Inc., Reports That Trade in Gen- H G. Hanson Has Promising Number—"Wang-
eral Will Co-operate in the Campaign
Wang Blues" a Hit—Webster Plant Sold
Irving Berlin, Inc., which lias arranged a na-
tional "My Mammy" week, which will be cele-
brated from April 2 to April 9, inclusive, has
announced that from every quarter unusual co-
operation has been received and it is expected
that this special drive on this unusual number,
published in both song and instrumental form,
will create thousands of sales for the sheet
nmsic, record and player rolls. The publicity
and plans for "My Mammy" week have prob-
ably been the most intensive ever carried out
by a music publishing organization.
Robert Crawford, sales manager of the above
company, in a recent interview with The Review
said: "We are particularly gratified with the co-
operation we have received from the trade.
Practically every music, talking machine record
and player roll dealer is taking part in the com-
ing campaign, and as their work will be supple-
mented by orchestras, vaudeville and motion
picture houses everywhere the success of the
plans seems assured."
PUBLICITY FOR MRS. A. J. STASNY
Featured by Cleveland News Series on Women
Earning Over $50,000 Annually
The Cleveland News, the well-known after-
noon daily of Cleveland, Ohio, recently ran a
story in its columns regarding the activities of
Mrs. A. J. Stasny, who is associated with her
husband in the A. J. Stasny Music Co.
The above publication runs a column each day
in which is reproduced a photograph and story
of women of the country who earn over $50,000
a year. This was the column in which Mrs.
Stasny's connections with the music publishing
business appeared. Particular mention was made
of the Stasny song "I Found You Among the
Roses."
HUNEKER LIBRARY FOR THE PUBLIC
The late James G. Huneker's library is to be
purchased by his friends for the New York
Public Library, where it will be kept intact as
the "Huneker Collection." Otto Weil, of the
Metropolitan Opera House, is treasurer of the
fund, for which about half is already subscribed.
Charles Ray Cox, formerly president of the
Buckeye Music Publishing Co., of Columbus,
O., will in the future be identified with the Song
Shop Co., of that city.
SONGS THAT SELL
SAN FRANCISCO, CAI.., March 26.—H. G. Han-
son, music publisher of this city, has apparently
a number of much merit in "Moon, Please Send
Me a Lovin' Man." The number is already be-
ing featured here by theatres and dance orches-
tras.
"Wang-Wang Blues" the number from the
catalog of Leo Feist, Inc., is going big in this
territory. H. C. Johnson, manager of the Feist
branch office, in this city, is placing the num-
ber within the acts of many vaudeville artists
now touring the Pacific Coast.
The publishing plant of Wesley Webster, on
Filmore street, has been purchased by the Rai-
nier-Dalheim Co., of Chicago and New York,
the well-known music printers, and is to be en-
larged so that it will soon bid for Pacific Coast
tiade, according to an announcement made by
the company.

Marks Music Co. to Expect Much of the New
Number, "Baby's Hands"
The Kdw. B. Marks Music Co. is publisher
of the new song entitled "Baby's Hands."
This is a story ballad which is being published
in both waltz and fox-trot form, and is the type
of number that should have great popularity
in vaudeville, particularly inasmuch as its lyrics
tell a story which will have an unusual appeal
to 'the public.
The Edw. B. Marks Music Co. declares that
it has never, with the possible exception of
Paul Dresser's "My Girl Sal," published a
sweeter, cleaner combination of story, melody
and harmony than is to be found in this ballad.

Leroy Phinney, Advertising Man, to Look After
Exploitation of That Catalog in Future
Leroy Phinney, the head of a well-known ad-
vertising agency, has, it is understood, taken
over the catalog of Lee S. Roberts, Inc., an or-
ganization publishing the exclusive works of Lee
S. Roberts, the well-known composer and vice-
president of the Q R S Co. While Mr. Phinney
has not had any active experience in the music
publishing field he has given the situation much
thought, and it is reported that he has decided
to follow the usual channels of exploitation in
giving publicity to the Roberts catalog.
NEIL MORET MAKES A CHANGE
Sells Interest in Daniels & Wilson, Inc., and
Joins W. B. & S. Staff
Neil Moret, former member of the firm of
Daniels & Wilson, Inc., has sold out his in-
terest in that company and has joined the writ-
ing staff of Waterson, Berlin & Snyder. Mr.
Moret will collaborate with Louis Weslyn, who
will contribute the lyrics to many of his future
numbers.
