AMERICAN MUSIC IN CHINA
Sherman,May & Go.
Earl Curren's Orchestra Meeting With Great
Success in Shanghai, China
It isn't generally known that American popu-
lar publications are played persistently and re-
ceive wide publicity in China. Offhand one
would labor under the impression that American
publications had little or no place in that coun-
try. The playing of a typical American song
on a typical Chinese instrument would hardly be
successful, but The Review frequently receives
programs showing that, despite all thoughts to
the contrary, American publications are being
played in China regularly.
This situation comes about by the fact that
Shanghai, China, is, in many respects, quite Occi-
dental, and it remains for the Astor House Hotel,
of that Chinese city, to care for the musical taste
of such people.
At the present time Earl Curren, who was for-
merly a piano player in the San Francisco house
of Leo Feist, Inc.. is the director of Earl Cur-

TWO NEW WITMARK WORLD BEATERS
NEW SHERMAN, CLAV OFFICES
Richard Powers in Charge of New Headquarters
in New York City
Sherman, Clay & Co. have just acquired a
suite of studio rooms on the seventh floor of
56 West Forty-fifth street, New York, which is
now undergoing alterations and will be opened
as the New York offices of the company on No-
vember first.
Richard Powers, the Eastern representative of
the above organization, will manage the new quar-
ters and will have on his staff several assistants.
Sherman, Clay & Co. for several months have
been trying to locate Eastern offices, but the
high-class space which they desired, seemingly,
was not available. The closing by Mr. Powers
of a long lease at the above address marks the
permanent entry of the organization into the New
York field in both a professional and sales way.
The company is at present carrying on a cam-
paign on the song "Have You Forgotten?" which
is fast becoming a national hit. In addition, the
number "Smilin 1 ," as well as "Tio San" and
"Tomorrow Land," is showing up actively.
NEW FISCHER NUMBERS
Announcement of New Fall Editions Made by
Carl Fischer—Discounts Increased
Carl Fischer, the well-known music-publishing
house, which has not sent to the trade any an-
nouncement regarding new issues since last May,
has, now that the music season is well under
way, released its first issues of the new season.
In order to exploit the new numbers, which the
house of Fischer feels the public is in a recep-
tive rrtood to receive, it has issued much adver-
tising material. Among this latter is a pam-
phlet on the Carl Fischer "Orchestra Collections."
These are being placed in the hands of the trade
in ample quantities for discriminate distribution.
All of this is accompanied by a new price list
on a Fall stock offer.
There are some new retail discounts recently
inaugurated by the company, as well as a new
teacher's discount, all of which should do much
to assist in adding to the Fall activities.
FEIST PUBLISHING "LOVE DREAMS"
"Love Dreams," which Oliver Morosco re-
cently presented at the Times Square Theatre,
New York, is described as a melody drama. The
show has an exceptional cast and will, without
doubt, play in New York throughout the Fall.
The musical numbers are "Love Dreams,"
"Lonesome Girl" and "The World Owes You
This," published by Leo Feist, Inc.
TWO NUMBERS BY HARRY LANG
Harry Lang, pianist in Paul Whiteman's Or-
chestra, has placed two instrumental numbers
with Jack Mills, Inc., "Cho-Piano" and "Sym-
phonola." Mr. Lang is also to make these num-
bers in roll form for several player roll firms.
