RICHARD STRAUSS RETURNS
USING WITMARK NUMBERS
Famous Composer and Conductor Arrives in
America for Concert Tour
Miss Ruth Lloyd-Kinney to Be Heard in Several
Concerts This Season
After an absence of seventeen years Richard
Strauss has returned to the United States for a
concert tour in which he will appear as com-
poser, conductor and pianist. The programs
which he has prepared for his present orchestral
concerts are not confined to his own composi-
tions, although he will lead his most famous
works, as well as a few novelties in the form of
songs with orchestral accompaniment. Mme.
Claire Dux and Miss Elizabeth Schumann will
be the soloists. There will be included pieces by
Mozart, Beethoven, Berlioz, Wagner and other
masters, along with selections from the modern
repertoire. Dr. Strauss is a warm admirer of
Debussy's music and he regards it as a privilege
to be able to offer his readings of the orchestral
writings of the French composer to American
audiences.
Miss Ruth Lloyd-Kinney, who was soloist this
Summer with Sousa's Band at Willow Grove
Park, is booked for a number of concerts this
season. She will continue to make use of sev-
eral numbers from the Witmark Black and White
Series, notably those in which she met with so
much success under Sousa's baton. Miss Lloyd-
Kinney is particularly partial to the songs of
Arthur A. Perm. To her remarkably effective
interpretations of "Smilin' Through" and "Sun-
rise and You" she will now add the same com-
poser's latest success, "Gingham Gown."
"SHIP 0 ' DREAMS" POPULAR
Concert Artists Using New Song From the Sam
Fox Catalog
Robert Taylor, a jazz cornetist, and Miss Katie
Jones, members of the "Blues Singers," now
playing the South, recently visited the N. C.
]'avis Music Co., Nashville, Tenn.. and selected
the following songs for their program: "Early
Morning Blues," a jazz cornet solo; "I Know
Now Who's Got My Man" and "Somebody's Got
My Man."
"Ship o' Dreams," from the catalog of the
Sam Fox Publishing Co., New York and Cleve-
land, O., has been received so well by concert
artists everywhere that the publisher, in addi-
tion to the publicity already issued in behalf of
the song, will inaugurate a special campaign
during the coming months. This number, which
appears in the November releases of the Victor
Talking Machine Co., a record by Merle Alcock,
seems to be most favorable material for the bet-
ter class artists.
CALLAHAN WITH RIVIERA MUSIC CO.
BELWIN SONG FOR PICTURE
PLAYING DAVIS CO. NUMBERS
PHILADELPHIA, PA., October 24.—H. L. Callahan,
well known locally as a violinist, was recently
appointed the Philadelphia representative of the
Riviera Music Co., of Chicago. Mr. Callahan
states that the three special songs, "Karma,"
"Sweet Southern Dream" and "There'll Come a
Time," which he is boosting, are meeting with
popular favor.
The Belwin, Inc., number, "I Want My
Mammy," has been frequently used as the musi-
cal theme in (he showing of the motion picture,
"The Old Nest." The number is particularly
adapted for the music to accompany the picture
and, as in many cases it has been sung in con-
junction with the showing, this has given the
song some unusual publicity.
Fred Mayo, who was formerly professional
Jack Mills, Inc., has accepted for publication
Eddie Leonard's new song, "My Mammy's Eyes," manager for the A. J. Stasny Music Co., follow-
which Leonard will feature in his new vaudeville ing which he appeared in vaudeville, has again
assumed the reins in the Stasny offices.
