NEW NUMBERBY EVILLE
Sacred Song Published by Boosey & Co. Spe-
cially Suitable for Palm Sunday
The approach of Palm Sunday again brings to
mind one of the new issues released by Boosey
& Co., "Ride on! Ride on in Majesty!" a sacred
N. S., as a choir boy, becoming organist there
two years later. After filling other important
positions in Canada he came to New York on
the advice of his friend, the late Frank Saddler,
with whom he studied advanced composition and
orchestration. He then accepted the appointment
of musical director and organist at St. Andrew's
Church, South Orange, N. J., where he still pre-
sides, and where he has assembled and trained an
admirable choir of boys' voices. Among his com-
positions is the operetta "The Isle o' Dreams,"
which was produced in 1910, and he is now work-
ing on a light opera shortly to be heard. He
became associated with Boosey & Co. in 1915 and
his published compositions issued by this firm
and others include concert and popular songs,
piano and orchestral numbers, sacred songs and
anthems, as well as many arrangements for or-
chestra and string combinations. To quote a
tribute to Mr. Eville paid by one of America's
leading oratorio and church vocalists, "No com-
poser of recent time has touched as responsive
a chord nor imbued his music with quite the same
dignified spirit and devotional atmosphere." Leon
' Rothier, the celebrated basso of the Metropolitan
Opera Company, heard "Out of the Deep," a
sacred song by this composer, and praised it in
most complimentary terms.
AMERICAN MUSIC IN CHINA
Several numbers from the Charles Dillingham
musical show, "Good Morning, Dearie," now
playing at the Globe Theatre, New York City,
were featured at the New Year's Eve dance of
Canton College, Canton, China, according to a
recent letter arriving in New York. The songs
included "Blue Danube Blues" and "Way Down
Town." Harms, Inc., is the publisher.

"SOME SUNNY DAY^ WELL RECEIVED
Vernon Eville
song with words by H. H. Milman and Vernon
Eville, which is particularly adapted for Palm
Sunday service.
A word about the composer at this time should
not be amiss. Born in London, England, Vernon
Eville commenced the study of music at the age
of six under the guidance of his sister, an accom-
plished musician, and the supervising direction of
his cousin, Fanny Davis, the celebrated English
pianist. He left for Canada at the age of twelve
and entered Kings College Chapel, Windsor.

Favorable Reception of New Song Results in
Plan for National Exploitation Campaign
The favorable reception in vaudeville circles
of Irving Berlin's new song, "Some Sunny Day,"
has encouraged "the publisher to inaugurate at
once a national exploitation campaign. Orches-
trations of the number in fox-trot form are now
being forwarded to all the leading orchestra
leaders throughout the country.
It is understood that practically all the talking
machine record and music roll manufacturing
companies have listed this number for an early
release. Just as soon as the campaign, as out-
lined above, gets under way it is, according to
the sales department of Irving Berlin, Inc., to
be supplemented by a publicity drive in trade
circles. Plans as arranged will cover every angle
of musical activity and will be one of the most
intensive ever inaugurated by any publisher.
