Chicago, where Mr. Jolson is achieving one of
the greatest successes of recent years. "Old
Fashioned Girl," one of the Richmond-Robbins
numbers, is used as a feature in "Bombo" and
through Mr. Robbins' activities this number was
given splendid publicity.
The George Jessell unit on the Shubert Cir-
cuit is featuring "Baby Blue Eyes" in one of the
most elaborate scenes now being presented on
the vaudeville stage and Mr. Robbins co-oper-
ated with Mr. Jessell in several original pub-
licity ideas. In a chat with The Review Mr.
Robbins stated that business conditions gen
erally are very satisfactory and that the music
dealers are paying more attention to the sheet
music departments than ever before.

The United States Marine Band, now on tour,
has been having great success with simple bal-
lads, especially when used as cornet solos by
their first cornetist. Taylor Bronson, the sec-
ond leader, says that of all the numbers they
use the simple ballad type seems to appeal best
to their afternoon audiences. Capt. Santleman,
who leads the evening concerts, has proven
that he feels the same way by programing as
the cornet solo for the special evening pro-
gram this same type of ballad, which is ex-
emplified by such numbers as the ever-popular
"Mother Machree," Arthur A. Penn's "Smilin'
Through," Clay Smith's plaintive "Sorter Miss
You" and the perennial favorite, "There's a
Long, Long Trail," which, by the way, must be
included on every program given at the White
House, because it is Mrs. Harding's favorite
song. M. Witmark & Sons are the publishers
of the above songs.
"SMILIN' THROUGH" WARNINGS
Title of A. A. Penn's Famous Ballad Forms
Part of Danger Signs
Writing from Los Angeles a correspondent
notes the fact that the title of Arthur A. Penn's
remarkable song success, "Smilin' Through," is
being used quite extensively by all sorts and
conditions of advertisers. The writer was par-
ticularly impressed by the big signs on railroad
crossings between San Francisco and Los An-
geles bearing the significant advice: "Avoid
Collisions and Go 'Smilin' Through.' "
Window Display of Feist Hit
displays in the Volkwein establishment have not
only created comment in the city of Pittsburgh,
but have attracted the attention of merchants in
other parts of the country.
Herewith is shown the Volkwein Bros, win-
dow of "Why Should I Cry Over You?" which
was the means of adding considerably to the
sales of this popular number during the week
in which the showing was made.
Leo Feist, Inc., is the publisher of "Why
Should I Cry Over You?" The number is one
of the biggest successes as a vocal number on
the vaudeville stage. As a fox-trot it has met
with favor with both the orchestra leaders and
dance enthusiasts and its sale has justified many
dealers in giving it special window displays.
ANOTHER "APPLE TREE" NUMBER
The third "Human Nature" song, by the writer
of "Swimmin' Hole" and "Little Red School-
house," has just been introduced in vaudeville.
It is entitled "Down by the Old Apple Tree."
The Edward B. Marks Music Co. is the pub-
lisher.
