NEW E. R. BALL BALLAD
PREDICTS MORE INTEREST IN MUSIC
FEIST SONGS IN VAUDEVILLE
"For the Sake of Auld Lang Syne" Promises
to Be a Record-breaker
Mischa Elman, Famous Violinist, Just Returned
from Europe, Points to Growth of Interest
in American Music During Recent Years
Among the songs that the professional de-
partment of Leo Feist, Inc., is placing in vaude-
ville acts are "Why Should I Cry Over You?",
announced as another "I'm Sorry I Made You
Cry" and "Coal Black Mammy," the English
success. The songs and novelties also include:
"You're Just Dreaming," "Toot, Toot, Tootsie,"
"Those Star Spangled Nights in Dixieland," "All
for the Love of Mike," "Wake Up, Little Girl,
"Hot Lips" and "Three o'Clock in the Morning."
Each year Ernest R. Ball writes at least one
outstanding ballad. This season has been no
exception and his new offering, "For the Sake
'
Kresge Display of E. R. Ball's Latest Hit
of Auld Lang Syne," promises to achieve more
popularity than its predecessor, "Let the Rest
of the World Go By." Dealers everywhere
have taken favorably to the number and it
has come in for some particularly attractive
window displays. The S. S. Kresge Co., of
Baltimore, Md., recently gave a full window to
the display of the title page, a reproduction
of which is herewith shown. Dealers in other
localities are also featuring this number.
That the United States will soon experience
a remarkable growth in the development of
musical interest is the opinion of Mischa El-
man, who has just returned from a two years'
concert tour abroad.
"In my opinion," says Mr. Elman, "the day
of American music is imminent. The American
musician is fast obtaining the recognition that
is his due and the compositions of American
composers are now being received with honest
interest.
"Everywhere I went abroad I found intelli-
gent understanding of American musical
achievements. People referred accurately to our
operatic singers and concert stars. And al-
though this is in itself a small matter, it was
indicative of attentions that were far more than
casual.
"In several instances I had young musicians
ask me questions on the advisability of study-
ing music in America. They asked about stu-
dent life in New York, Boston and Chicago,
and also inquired about the chances that the
young musician has of getting a public hearing.
Such questions represent a complete change in
the point of European musicians. Indeed, they
might be considered almost sensational in their
significance."
SCORE PUBLISHED BY REMICK
Jerome H. Remick & Co. are the publishers
of the score of the new "Passing Show of 1922,"
which opened recently at the Winter Garden,
New York. The book and lyrics are by Harold

cisco, which will make its first New York ap-
pearance at Aeolian Hall, New York, on Tues-
day afternoon, October 10, has had many works

istence. The Chamber Music Society comprises
a string quartet and flute, and some of the
works written especially for this combination
of instruments will be heard at the forthcoming
concert. Among the composers who have writ-
ten music especially for the Chamber Music
Society are Mrs. H. H. A. Beach, Arthur Foote,
Domenico Brescia and Frederick J.acobi.
VON TILZER MAY ENTER VAUDEVILLE
Harry Von Tilzer, the well-known songwriter
and head of the Harry Von Tilzer Music Pub-
lishing Co., has under consideration an offer
from one of the large vaudeville circuits to
appear in an a.ct to be shown in vaudeville
houses in the East. As yet, Mr. Von Tilzer has
made no decision.
"The Old Homestead," a Phil Ponce publica-
tion, is meeting with exceptional success in the
trade, according to its publisher. A special
dance version has been made by Ernest Golden
and is being released this week.
