Announcement has been made by M. Wit-
mark & Sons of the forthcoming publication of
the English waltz success, "Wyoming." The
number has had great popularity in Great
Britain, and in dancing circles has proved a
huge favorite. It is understood that there was
considerable competition from American sources
in an effort to get the exclusive publication
rights for "Wyoming" in the United States.
Jay Witmark, however, of the above publishing
hrm, was successful in closing arrangements for
the American rights.
A month or two ago Jay Witmark took a fly-
ing trip to Europe, strictly on business in the
interests of M. Witmark & Sons' publications
"over there." While in London his time was
fully occupied in matter that, while closely con-
nected with music, rarely if ever took him within
actual sound of it. Every now and then he'd
hear the mystic and, to him, familiar word,
'"Wyoming," and occasionally the name would
stare at him from a billboard or a magazine.
But he paid little attention to its significance,
and was quite unaware of the fact that "Wyo-
ming," even at that time, was the reigning dance
sensation of the British metropolis. In this
unsuspecting frame of mind he sailed home for
New York. One day, after dinner, he listened
to the ship's orchestra playing something that
his, practiced ear instantly recognized as a won-
derful waltz. He asked the musical director
afterwards just what it was, and the latter, in
some astonishment, exclaimed, "Why, that's
'Wyoming,' the biggest waltz hit England's ever
had!" or words to that effect. Mr. Witmark had
heard enough. He made it his business to take
the matter up by cable immediately upon land-
ing. He could forget neither the wondrous
strains of the waltz nor the stories he now
heard on every side of its remarkable success in
the country he had just left. "Wyoming," it is
evident, did not intend to let Mr. Witmark "get
away from it." It followed him to sea, and once
it got his ear, so to speak, the rest was a fore-
gone conclusion. Thus it was that M. Witmark
& Sons started the successful negotiations which
placed them in possession of the American pub-
lishing rights of "Wyoming."

"Spanish Lou" and • Other New Compositions
Rapidly Growing in Popularity
Jerome H. Remick & Co. have just inaugu-
rated a big publicity campaign on a new novelty
song, ''Spanish Lou." This number and "Rose,"
"'Nightingale," "Somebody Like You" and
"Guessing" are all new numbers, and although
only recently added to the catalog are showing
up to good advantage. As further evidence of
the merits of these works it can be stated that
all of them have been booked by the larger
talking machine record and music roll manu-
facturing organizations for early release.
