New York Manager for Sherman, Clay & Co.
Optimistic Over Middle West Survey
Sheet
Richard J. Powers, manager of the New York
offices of Sherman, Clay & Co., of San Fran-
cisco, returned to his desk early last week after
a trip through the Middle West. While in
Chicago Mr. Powers planned with Ford Rush,
the new Chicago manager of the company, a
Fall campaign for Middle West territory.
Shortly after his return to New York he left
on a trade trip, visiting Philadelphia, Baltimore
and Boston.
The Sherman, Clay & Co. catalog is showing
more activity now than at any time since they
published the famous song and instrumental
success, "Whispering." The songs, "The Sneak"
and "I Wish I Knew," are both having very
heavy sales. This demand is not confined to
any particular territory.
Sherman, Clay & Co. have now opened new
offices in Chicago and Detroit. A special adver-
tising appropriation giving publicity to the cata-
log has been arranged and a national sales
drive has been inaugurated.
PORTLAND, ORE., October 17.—When Bill Jacobs,

Berlin numbers and Miss Campbell says that
they are in big demand, among them being "No
Wonder I'm Lonesome," "Night," "Send Back
My Honey," "Truly," "Don't Bring Me Posies"
and "Homesick."
Portland music dealers were visited last week
by R. A. Cole, the traveling representative of
the Dixon-Lane Publishing Co., of Chicago and
St. Louis, and while here featured "Side by
Side" and "Call Me Back, Pal o' Mine."
"MammyLand" is another new fox-trot that the
Dixon-Lane people are featuring.

street, has an attractive window display of the
compositions of Eniil Enna, Portland composer
;.nd president of the Society of Oregon Com-
posers. Mr. Enna's numbers are published by
W. A. Quincke, music publisher, of Los An-
geles, and the numbers now being featured are
for teaching purposes. Maybelle Elliott, the
manager of their sheet music department, says
there is a big demand for them locally and
they are being well received by both the music
teachers and their pupils.
Radio broadcasting goes merrily on in Port-
land and the radia fans who "listen in" are
increasing every day. The Oregonian broad-
casting station has now installed the strongest
instrument west of Chicago. On October 11
Jerry Ryan, one of Portland's prominent bari-
tones, featured the new Leo Feist, Inc., hits,
"Coal Black Mammy," "Why Should I Cry Over
You?" and "All For Love of Mike," with Eileen
Sprague, of the sheet music department of
Louis Mack, at the piano, and there were many
calls for encores from the radio fans. Another
Feist number which was featured was the ever-
popular "Three o'Clock in the Morning," which
was broadcasted as sung by Pauline Wolfe.

The J. W. Jenkins' Sons Music Co. has issued
a new fox-trot song called "Martha," which
seemingly has met with instant favor. The pro-
fessional and band and Orchestra departments of
the company have, through its reception, been
induced to inaugurate a special publicity cam-
paign. This is now well under way and will
cover every channel of musical activity. Al-
though "Martha" has only been in the hands
of the trade a short time the sales have shown
much activity and the firm reports a constant in-
crease in the size of repeat orders. "Martha,"
together with "Lonesome Mama Blues," will be
the outstanding features of the Fall catalog of
the above company.

William Axt and Martha Wilchinski, of the
Capitol Theatre staff, have written a ballad en-
titled "Old Homestead," inspired by the screen
production of that name, which will be used by
S. L. Rothafel in the special prologue and as
a theme of the musical presentation at the
Capitol Theatre next week. Owing to the
length of "The Old Homestead," the 'program
will be divided into two parts, the first part con-
sisting of the "Tannhauscr Overture," played
by the Capitol grand orchestra, Erno Rapee
conducting, and the Capitol News, and the sec-
ond part consisting of the presentation of the
feature production.
