BETTER TRADE IN NEW LOCATION
J. P. Broder Now With Hauschildt Music Co.,
San Francisco, Handling a Large Volume of
Popular Sheet Music Business
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL., December 23.—J. P. Bro-
der, sheet music dealer, who moved in with the
Hauschildt Music Co. when Byron Mauzy sold
out a few months ago, reports that he is doing
a very much better business in his new location,
which is in the center of the theatre district.
He says "Tennessee Moon," "Song of India"
and "Wabash Blues" are among his best sellers
and. that "Baby Face" and "I Want My Mammy"
are beginning to move. "Sal-o-may" is also
going well. Mr. Broder, however, believes that
jazz has reached its maximum popularity. He
states that, while he has not noticed a decrease
in the sales of the more popular music, still
people are beginning to ask for the old classical
waltzes and even schottisches and lancers. This,
he says, with fourteen years of experience be-
hind him, is the sure prelude to a drop-off in jazz
sales.

presented by all-star colored entertainers, and

music of the show, published by M. Witmark &
Sons, is having a very heavy demand, and prac-

LONDON, December 12.—The present season has
been particularly bad for music and few songs
have attracted much attention. There also seems
to be a reduction in the number of music stores,
as from St. George's Hospital to the Royal Ex-
change there is not a music shop to be found,
except one which moved over from another sec-
tion. Dealers hope that the turn of the year
will bring better conditions.

Celebration—Popular Songs That Are Selling
PORTLAND, ORE., December 23.—The "Beautiful
Oregon Rose," by H. Edward Mills, has been
adopted by the Rose Festival Committee as the

song will be sung in all the schools of the State
in connection with the Arbor Day celebration
in February. The distribution of the song is in
the hands of Mrs. A. A. Cook.
Louis Mack, who has his sheet music store on
the main floor of the Bush & Lane Piano Co.'s
store, is attractively and artistically featuring the
latest song of John McCormack, which is pub-
lished by Fred Fisher—"Little Town in the Ould
County Down." Mr. Mack says that the song
is very popular and greatly in demand.
The McDougall-Conn Music Co.'s sheet music
department is supplied with all the latest songs,
both classical, semi-classical and popular. Ac-
cording to Octavo Stone, in charge of the de-
partment, at present the new song, "April
Showers," published by the Harms Publishing
Co., is very popular and much in demand.
The Remick Song Shop, under the manage-
ment of Clyde Freeman, is one of the most popu-
lar music centers in the city. Mr. Freeman is
featuring "Yoo-Hoo," the new Al Jolson song,
at present, and the song has made a big hit
with Portland music lovers. Among the songs
that the Remick Shop is selling in large numbers
is "When Shall We Meet Again?"
