PORTLAND SONG HITS
HARRISON CO. DISSOLVED
Popular Numbers in Demand in the Northwest—
Trevor, Pianist, Plays for Music Shop
Metropolitan Syndicate to Operate Music De-
partments Formerly Run by Harrison Co.
PORTLAND, ORE., July 11.—The manager of the
sheet music department of the Portland Piano
Co., Kathleen Benoit Campbell, has on display
two very popular numbers of Harold Weeks, of
the Seattle Melody Shop, for which there are big
sales—"Dear Old Home" and "With All My
Heart." Among the hits that still are in the
list of good sellers are "Make Believe," "Mam-
my" and "Always," and the manager says she
cannot keep her shelves supplied with copies of
"Wyoming," which sell as fast as they arrive.
A new pianist has arrived at the Remick Song
Shop, Frank Trevor, who is aiding in drawing
the crowds to the popular and up-to-date music
shop on Washington street. He is sure to draw
a crowd to the shop when he is at the piano
and a crowd collects on the sidewalks in the
vicinity. Mr. Trevor formerly played at the
Athenian Cafe in Chicago and for two years was
at the Coliseum in Davenport, Iowa. The hits
that are being featured at the Remick at the
present time are "Golden Sand at Waikiki,"
"Spanish Lou," "Haunting Me" and the popular
"Always" of Al Jolson, all of which are having
a big sale. The manager of the department,
May Sun, says that their sales for the month
of June were large.
The Harrison Music Pub. Corp., 1658 Broad-
way, New York City, announces the dissolution
of the Harrison Music Co., which operated the
music departments in the Metropolitan 5, 10 and
50-cent stores.
In the future these stores will be operated ex-
clusively by the Metropolitan syndicate and
M. H. Harrison, president of the Harrison
Music Pub. Corp., will only act with that or-
ganization in an advisory capacity.
Announcement is also made that E. W. Fried-
ler and D. E. Hokin, former executives of the
Harrison Music Pub. Corp., have severed their
connections with that organization.
JAPANESE ENJOY AMERICAN JAZZ
Fox-trots and One-steps Meet With the Favor
of Ladies and Gentlemen of Nippon
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., July 11.—"Japan is jazz-
ing." This is the news brought here by L. J.
Griffin, Yokohama merchant, enjoying an indefi-
nite stay at the Hotel Ambassador. American
dance orchestras are in great favor.
"The ladies are most enthusiastic over your
one-steps and fox-trots, but not more so than
the men," he said. "It is surprising with what
grace they execute steps, despite their glass
slippers and their long kimonos. The Japanese
are not a musical race, according to our way of
thinking, but they pick up quite a few of your
tunes."
TWO NEW SONGS
Churchill, Young & Co., 253 South Broadway,
Los Angeles, Cal., are the publishers of two
new songs, entitled "Sitting on the World With
You" and "Mamie."
USING WITMARK NUMBERS
Chicago Opera Company Tenor to Use Witmark
Songs at Special Recital
Ciccolini, one of the leading tenors of the
Chicago Opera Co., will appear at a special re-
cital at the Ocean Grove Auditorium, Asbury
Park, on July 16. His program includes a group
of songs in English, among which are two bal-
lads published by M. Witmark & Sons. One
of these is Ernest R. Ball's new success, "I'll
Forget You," and the other is "The Want of
You," in which Ciccolini will be accompanied
by the composer, Frederick W. Vanderpool, who
is residing at Asbury Park. For an encore the
popular tenor will probably sing "Mother Ma-
chree," which he has been using recently.
TO ESTABLISH MUSIC SCHOOL
Bequest Provides for School in Memory of
Bryan Lathrop
WASHINGTON, D. C, July 11.—Fifty thousand
dollars are left for the establishment of a public
school of music by the Orchestral Association
of Chicago, in the will of the late Florence La-
throp Page, wife of the former ambassador to
Italy, Thomas Nelson Page. The will was nled
for probate here last week. The public school
of music is to be named the Bryan Lathrop Me-
morial, in memory of Mrs. Page's brother.
The estate disposed of by the will is esti-
mated at $1,500,000. Mr. Page receives one-half
the income from the residue of the estate and
bequest of $250,000. The other half goes to
Mrs. Page's daughters.
