Two Numbers by Harold Weeks Goirfg Big-

The Review Acknowledges Kind Expressions
of Good Will From Trade Friends
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL., December 22.—Ben Adkins,
manager of "the Remick Song and Gift Shop,
states that his company has taken over Harold
Weeks' latest contributions to the music world,
these being not of the blues variety, as would
be expected, but of another variety just as popu-
lar, "The Tropical Moonlight" and "Melancholy
Moon." These two songs are expected to be
numbered among the season's hits on account of
their popular names and because of the nature
of their words and music. Mr. Adkins has also
determined to stock up rather heavily with Al
Jolson's latest hit, "Yoo-Hoo," which, he feels
sure, will take well with the public, because a
Jolson song is usually a sure winner. This song
is now available in record form at the Remick
shop.
The most popular music rolls are "Leave Me
With a Smile," "Somewhere in Naples," "When
Shall We Meet Again?" and "Wabash Blues."
"When Shall We Meet Again?" was written by
the composers of that famous hit of about three
years ago, "Till We Meet Again." This song
has all the earmarks of making as great a suc-
cess as did "Till We Meet Again."
The Review takes pleasure in acknowledging
and reciprocating the many expressions of good
wishes for the holiday season and for the New
Year that have been received by this department.
