EFFECTIVE SHEET MUSIC WINDOWS
A SUCCESSFUL MUSIC DEMONSTRATOR
Watti Watkins, Manager of Kresge Store in
Kansas City, Enjoys Wide Reputation
Among the best known managers of syndi-
cate stores which handle sheet music is Watti
Watkins, who is de-
scribed as one of the
most successful sheet
music demonstrators in
the Middle West and
who holds the position
of manager for the S.
S. Kresge Co. in its
Kansas City store. Mr.
Watkins has been for
over seven years in
charge of the Kansas
Watti Watkins
City store and during
all this time has taken particular interest in the
sheet music departinent, so much so that the
demonstration of songs in that establishment is
known among the publishers as one of the most
enterprising and successful in the sheet music
field. Mr. Watkins himself often sings the
songs behind the counter and while a lot of
music publishers' salesmen say he is "good,"
the fact that he is often booked to do a vaude-
ville stunt shows that they have not nattered
him for business reasons. In his public appear-
ances he is programmed as "Kansas City's Own
Popular Ragtime Singer."
MUSIC OF "TROUBLES OF 1922"
"Troubles of 1922," the new Shubert produc-
tion featuring Georgie Jessel and the Courtney
Sisters, which recently opened in Chicago, are
using the following numbers from the Jack
Mills, Inc., catalog: "Deedle Deedle Dum,"
"Lovesick Blues," "Dear Old Southland," "When
You and I Were Young Maggie Blues" and
"Snap to a Pretty Melody."
