THE
OCTOBER 28, 1922
"HOMESICK" WEEK PLANS COMPLETED
Big
Campaign to Be Conducted Week
November 18 to 25 on Berlin Hit
of
Final plans for the week's campaign for the
Irving Berlin success, "Homesick," which has
been arranged for the week of November 18
to 25, inclusive, have been closed. Much display
advertising material is being shipped to the
trade for the use of sheet music, talking ma-
chine record and player roll dealers. The co-
operation of all the mechanical reproducing
companies, orchestras, theatres, dance halls and
motion picture houses and others who will take
part in the campaign has been assured.
The fact that the Berlin organization makes
a very wise selection of the number for these
national drives assures those who are interested
of their success. Those who have taken part
in such campaigns as those arranged for "All
By Myself" and "My Mammy" hardly need to
be induced to co-operate in the present "Home-
sick" Week.

Los ANGELES, CAL., October 21.—Jack Visee,
sales manager for the music publishing house
of W. A. Quincke & Co., this city, is now on
an extended tour of the Western States, ac-
quainting dealers and the profession in general
with the new numbers in his firm's catalog.
He reports business as being very good, with
a gratifying interest in the numbers he is rep-
resenting. There seems to be a decided demand
for one of the Quincke songs, "I Can't Keep
You Out of My Dreams," a charming little
waltz ballad, and judging from present indica-
tions that number will soon be classed as a
real hit.

Marks Co. Number to Be Featured During
Election Week
Sousa and his band have featured prominently
all the Witmark big popular hits at their an-
nual season at Willow Grove Park near Phila-
delphia. Among the most-played and frequently
played-over-again numbers were the "Shuffle
Along" selection, "Angel Child," "Where the
Volga Flows," "All Over Nothing at All," "Say
It While Dancing" and "I'm Just Wild About
Harry." They are among the steady-selling
popular favorites of the catalog.
Noted Woman Composer Tells of Early Hard-
ships Which Perseverance Overcame
Election week has been designated as "No
Use Crying" Week by arrangements closed by
the Edward B. Marks Music Co., the publisher,
with the Keith Circuit, Loew Circuit, Fox Cir-
cuit and Stanley chain of theatres, and many
other vaudeville houses. Others who will take
part in this publicity drive are Vincent Lopez
and his Pennsylvania Hotel Orchestra, Paul
Specht, Ray Miller, Mai Hallett and others, who
are to feature the number upon their dance
programs. Hundreds of dealers throughout the
country are to co-operate during the week by
giving window displays to this success. The
theory behind the whole campaign is that in
selecting election week for this campaign, no
matter who is successful in the election, there
is "No Use Crying." Outside of its musical
merit, therefore, the publicity has been arranged
at an appropriate time.
In a recent interview with a newspaper cor-
respondent Carrie Jacobs-Bond said: "Adver-
sity is an opportunity. We can be what we
want to be despite everything if we set our
minds and hearts upon it. When I first started
to write songs I wrote the words and music,
illustrated them myself, decorated the cover
page with my own drawing, sang them myself
