UNUSUAL WINDOW DISPLAY
POPULAR BERLIN NUMBERS
FOX ISSUES "SWANEE SMILES"
"Old Fashioned Girl" Basis of Attractive Sher-
man, Clay & Co. Window Display
Fall Catalog of Irving Berlin, Inc., Contains
Several Popular Numbers
New Number Gains Popularity Before Orches-
trations Are Ready
Herewith is shown a full window display
which appeared in the San Francisco store of
Sherman, Clay & Co. The display is devoted
exclusively to the title pages of "Old Fashioned
Girl," published by Kirhmond-Robbins, Inc., and
By taking over "Yankee Doodle Blues," from
the Harms, Inc., catalog Irving Berlin, Inc.,
now has three songs which are being featured
in its early Fall campaign. The other two
numbers are "Homesick," from the pen of Irving
Berlin, and "Way Down South," by Sam Lewis,
Joe Young and Harry Akst.
The Berlin catalog has a series of other songs
which are showing up advantageously. These
include "Do I Love Her," "Send Back My
Honey Man," "While the Years Roll By,"
"Truly" and "Don't Bring Me Posies."
A new song recently accepted for publication
by the Sam Fox Co. is entitled "Swanee Smiles."
Despite the fact that no orchestrations of the
number have been issued, orchestra leaders in
some manner have run across the number and
are anxious to place it in their programs.
"Swanee Smiles" is by Fred Hagar, who is
well known in recording circles, and Justin Ring.
"Swanee Smiles," together with "Nola," "Elea-
nor" and "Romany Love," will be the features
of the Fox catalog during the early Fall months.
MUSIC BEING FEATURED
JACK ROBBINS ON TRIP
Visiting Dealers in Middle West in Interest of
Richmond-Robbins Releases
Window Display of "Old Fashioned Girl"
features prominent members of the orchestras
which are playing in the motion picture houses
of that city.
During the week in which the window was
shown the sales of "Old Fashioned Girl" in-
creased considerably. This was due to the fact
that not only the orchestra leaders mentioned
above featured the numbers during that period,
but it was sung in vaudeville and played by a
number of dance orchestras at several important
social affairs.
Jack Robbins, of Richmond-Robbins, Inc., left
New York early in September for a four weeks'
trip through the Middle West, where he will
visit the larger cities, including Kansas City,
Omaha and Des Moines, la.
Mr. Robbins was in Omaha in advance of
George Jessel's "Troubles of 1922," which opened
there on September 11. Mr. Robbins is inter-
ested in "Baby Blue Eyes" and "Mama's Boy,"
both of which are incorporated in the show. In
addition he will feature on his trip "Burning
Sands" and "Swanee Bluebird."
SOME GOOD PUBLICITY
G. W. Amerige, who operates a music pub-
lishing and distributing company under the
name Amerige, The Publisher, Fremont, N. H.,
is making a specialty of sending out music bul-
letins on popular numbers and by original and
novel methods is creating comment in trade
circles.
California Newspapers Devoting Much Space to
Music and Musicians
Several California papers in the smaller cities
have started to give publicity to individual
songs, prominent orchestra leaders and others
of the music world. Recently the Colton, Cal.,
Courier carried a two-column cut of Frances
Arms, an English ballad singer, and thematics
of the Leo Feist, Inc., song, "Coal Black
Mammy." Several days later a cut of Henry
Busse, cornetist of Paul Whiteman's Orchestra,
appeared with a lengthy story on Mr. Busse's
"Hot Lips."
NEW JOE MORRIS NUMBER
The |oe Morris Music Co. is publishing a song
entitled "To-morrow Morning," which is being
placed with a number of vaudeville performers.
