Representatives Visiting Trade Centers
Southern and Middle West States
Already as one result of the first national con-
ference of motion picture and musical interests
held recently in New York it is announced that
the Eastman School of Music in Rochester,
N. Y., is to establish a department for the train-
ing of motion picture musicians. The question
of training musicians for motion picture work
was one of the first considered by the confer-
ence.
It was developed at the conference that the
motion picture-theatres depend .almost entirely
Upon music to create their atmosphere. Mr.
Brant, president .of the theatre owners' cham-
ber of commerce, which represents 500 of the
small movie exhibitors, said that music is 40 per
cent of the performance with a good picture and
95 per cent with a poor picture.
As stated in these columns some time ago.
Richard Powers, East-
ern representative of
Sherman, Clay & Co.,
of San Francisco, is
making a trip visiting

in the Southern States,
following which he
will visit Chicago ter-
ritory hefore depart-
ing for the home of-
fice of the company.

the sales staff of

Sherman, Clay & Co.,
who is on a trip East, has also been visiting

J. H. REMICK IN THE WEST
President of Jerome H. Remick & Co. Visit-
ing Branches on the Coast
PORTLAND, ORE., February 5.—Jerome H. Remick,
president and owner of the nationally known
music publishing house and Columbia dealer,
spent several days in Portland recently. "I can
truthfully say that Portland is one of the best
music cities in the country," said Mr. Remick,
following a conference with Taylor C. White,
manager of the Portland Remick Song Shop.
"Some .of the songs which became the rage in
the East first 'took' in Portland before they
became really popular east of Chicago. Because
of the growth of the Portland branch plans for
the enlargement of the loc.al store arc now under
way."
Mr. Remick left Portland to visit the branch
in Seattle and before he returns to his home in
Detroit will inspect the branches at San Fran-
cisco and Los Angeles.
Irving Berlin Hit Used Very Effectively in
"Sinbad"—Critics Praise It
Al Jolson recently reopened with the Shubert
show, "Sinbad," in Providence, R. 1., and one of
the features of his song program is the Irving
Berlin number, "My Mammy." This is a typi-
cal Jolscui song and, according to the reports
from Providence, particularly those received
from newspapers, Jolson sings it better than
any of the material that he has had in recent
years. One of the critics said: " ' M y Mammy'
is the greatest song Al Jolson has ever sung,
either in New York or Providence, and is far
superior to any of his recent material. It is
the type of number he sings to excellent ad-
vantage and, in fact, is of just the style for
which he is noted." "My Mammy" is heard
practically everywhere.
It is sung by the
Howard Brothers in the new Winter Garden
show, by the Duncan sisters in "Tip-Top," by
Flo Burt in "Cinderella" and by such vaudeville
headliners as Henry Santry, the Creole Fash-
ion Plate, the Kaufman Brothers and many
others. It has been recorded by practically all
the talking machine record and player roll or-
ganizations, and one of the New York music
jobbers who is able to feel the pulse of the
trade stated: "It is destined to be the biggest
thing of early 1921."
McCONNELL WITH JACK MILLS, INC.
Jack Mills, Inc., has just announced that Lew
McConnell, who is well known in the music
publishing field, has been added to the staff
and will, in the future, act as Philadelphia man-
ager of the company. Lew Colwell has been

offices of the company.

the theme of which is the waltz "Romance,"
published by B. D. Nice & Co. The arrange-
ment is by Ernst Luz and Bert Herbert.
