"PLANTATION LULLABY" FEATURED
Stasny Co. Number Made Basis of Elaborate
Window Display in Philadelphia
The A. J. Stasny Music Co. song, "Plantation
Lullaby," which the trade has recognized as one
of the most active sellers of the past three
months, was recently given a unique window
display in the J. G. McCrory Co. store, Phila-
delphia, Pa.
We herewith reproduce a photograph of the
window in question, and it can be readily seen
that the plantation atmosphere is carried out
most effectively. The manner in which the
title, "Plantation Lullaby," is displayed, no doubt,
assisted materially in calling attention to the
window and in creating sales. The manager
'WANG WANG BLUES"
firm's Philadelphia representative, Tom Huston,
who is a most active worker and receives thor-
ough co-operation from the trade.
Incidentally, "Plantation Lullaby" sales have
steadily mounted in Philadelphia territory dur-
ing recent months, and the various window dis-
plays on the number have, undoubtedly, added
thousands of sales to the number. "Plantation
Lullaby" was released in December on Columbia
and Brunswick records as a special.
"DITSON OPTIMISM"
Oliver Ditson Co. Issues Some Practical Phi-
losophy to the Trade
Under the caption, "Ditson Optimism," there
was recently issued some sound philosophy cov-
ering the value of
l o o k i n g on the
bright side of things,
a portion of which
we reproduce here-
with:
"Therefore," says
the Oliver Ditson
Co., "we have tuned
our horn to a bright
and joyous note, for
the sound thereof
proclaims a c t u a l
progress. Business
is brisk with us,
monthly totals show-
ing substantial in-
creases o v e r t h e
boom months which
followed the war.
We want the music
trade to know this
fact, we want them
to share in the pleas-
ant feelings it en-
genders, we want
them to go out with
us after the joys of

business. Music is

of the store states that during the week of the many) which the public wants, and will have.
display the sales increased substantially.
Good music, seasonable music, is salable music,
Much of the credit of the success and activity and that is why we are playing the Hallelujah
of Stasny publications can be credited to the Chorus with 1921 harmonies."
Maurice Richmond to Establish Jobbing Head-
quarters in New York
Maurice Richmond, formerly active head of
the Enterprise Music Supply Co., which hitter
was some time ago purchased at auction by the
Crown Music Co., will, as announced some time
ago in these columns, open up a music jobbing
business in New York. The name of the new
company will be the Richmond Music Supply Co.,
and it is understood the new firm has leased
offices on West Forty-second street, New York
City.
TWO NEW IRVINO^BERLIN SONGS
Among the new songs which will be released
for sale by Irving Berlin, Inc., on January 1 are
two numbers which have already shown up ad-
vantageously in professional circles. Of particu-
lar importance is the song "Granny, You're My
Mammy's Mammy," which is already being fea-
tured by hundreds of vaudeville performers, in-
cluding many headliners. The other song, which
seemingly is to become quite popular, is a nov-
elty Irish song entitled "Delia."
SAM FOX ON VISIT TO NEW YORK
Sam Fox, head of th* Sam Fox Publishing
Co., Cleveland, Ohio, arrived in New York late
last week. Mr. Fox has just completed a trans-
continental tour covering the larger trade cen-
ters of the United States, including many points
in Pacific Coast territory. He is completing
plans for an Eastern publicity campaign on the
current Fox successes, but will return to Cleve-
land in time for the holidays.
INFRINGEMENT SUIT ENDED
A formal order of discontinuance of the copy-
right infringement suit brought by G. Ricordi &
Co. against Jerome H. Remick & Co. was signed
by Judge Knox in the Federal District Court last
week. The plaintiff had charged that Remick's :
"Avalon" song, yjrritten by Al Jolson and Vincent*
Rose, was an infringement on the melody of
Puccini's opera "Tosca," which copyrighted com-
position the plaintiff controlled.
