Numbers on the Continent
It is said that the recent purchase, by Jack
Mills, Inc., of the Pacific Coast hit, "Sleepy
Head," involved a sum in excess of $20,000. The
Mills organization is making a special campaign
on the number and it has already been placed
in several headline acts, including Clayton and
Edwards, Colleta Ryan, Bob Mile, Sheldon &
Daly, and others. It is booked for early re-
cording by some of the leading talking machine
record and music roll manufacturing organiza-
tions.
Paul Whiteman's orchestra, now playing an
extended engagement at the Palais Royal, New
York, has recently been playing with success the
new fox-trot, "Crooning," a publication from the
catalog of M. Witmark & Sons. The number
has received special favor at the hands—or shall
we say feet?—of the dancers at this well-known
Broadway restaurant, the encores nightly being
quite insistent. "Crooning" is from the pens of
Al Dubin, Herbert W. Weise and Wm. F.
Caesar.
The following letter was recently received by
the Sam Fox Publishing Co., Cleveland, O.,
which indicates that the above firm's catalog is
getting some unusual publicity in France:
"Gentlemen:
"We have received all the numbers you sent
and we must congratulate you on your wonderful
catalog for the new year.
"We put 'Stop It' on the Columbia records in
England and also were first to introduce 'Ala-
bama Moon,' which is going great in England
and is starting to grip France.
