BIO SALES OF JACK MILLS CATALOG
Solos by Foremost Pianists and Composers In-
cluded in Catalog—New Numbers Constantly
Being Added to Representative List
Jack Mills, Inc., well-known music publisher,
at 152-4 West Forty-fifth street, New York,
reports that its catalog of contemporary pianis-
tic compositions is enjoying a heavy sale
throughout the country and that new numbers
are constantly being added to the catalog.
Among those who have contributed to this
catalog are Zez Confrey, whose famous "Kitten
on the Keys" formed the nucleus of the Jack
Mills "Piano Edition" and who has also con-
tributed "Greenwitch Witch," "My Pet," "Poor
Buttermilk," "You Tell 'em, Ivories" and "Coax-
ing the Piano." Henry Lange, well-known rec-
ord artist and pianist with Paul Whiteman's
Orchestra, composed "Symphanola" and "Cho-
Piano," two successful novelties, and from Wil-
liam Fazioli, pianist with Ray Miller's Orches-
tra, there comes the unique "Piano-Mania,"
"When falls the calm of

m
e-ven-tide/There comes a vis-ion
truly a mad symphony of the keys. Arthur
Schutt, pianist with Paul Specht's Orchestra,
did his bit with "Syncopatin' the Scales" and
"Bitter Sweets," two sparkling novelties in
great favor. Henry W. Ross, who is, by special
appointment, pianist to His Majesty, the Prince
of Wales, contributed "Tickles" and "Fooling
Around," which are virtually new departures in
rhythm and swing.
Other renowned composers and pianists who
have combined to make the Jack Mills catalog
representative for piano solos are: Edith Alt-
hoff, George Fairman, Billy James, Charles
Huerter, James Francis McHugh, Ed Claypoole,
Harry Jentes, Harold D. Squires, Turner Lay-
ton, Scott Joplin, Bert Dixon, Donald Heywood,
"Vee" Lawnhurst, Ralph Reichenthal, Alberto
Kollman, Corrie Huddleston, Chris Smith and
others.
"A man who boasts he never changes his mind
after it is made up," says Trude Hills, "is about
as valuable as a glue-pot that has glued its own
stopper in."
FEATURING ENOCH & SONS SONGS
Paul Althouse, well-known concert artist, who
has just returned from a successful Australian
trip, will feature during the present season the
following songs to be found in the catalog of
Enoch & Sons, of New York and London:
"The Minstrel," by Easthope Martin; "Daffodil
Gold," by A. Robertson Hodgson; "The Wan-
derer's Song," by Julius Harrison; "A Page's
Road Song," by Ivor Novello, and "Come to
the Fair," also by Easthope Martin.
TO PUBLISH "THAT SPIRIT MELODY"
Paul Specht, the orchestra leader and exclu-
sive artist for the Columbia records, is the
writer of a new fox-trot ballad entitled "That
Spirit Melody," which has been accepted for
publication by Irving Berlin, Inc. This is said
to be the first song to bear the name of Paul
Specht, who is a confirmed spiritualist, and the
melody is said to have been written by spirit
inspiration.
THE THIEF
After Terrific Struggle the Thief Is Captured
by Fred Fisher
Last week there was the biggest kind of
excitement in the popular music publish-
ers' row when Fred Fisher captured
"THE THIEF," the biggest bet in the
song hits of the season.
Fred always was a good judge of hits.
You've witnessed the popular successes
he has put out in the last few seasons
and when he first heard "THE THIEF"
he, and in fact everyone else, went wild
over this great melody song.
rhythm and when it comes to a dance
arrangement for orchestra. Oh Boys,
what a smash it really is!
"THE THIEF" is one of those very
rare combinations of a wonderful snappy
tune with a number of odd effects in
"THE THIEF/' is the latest and great-
est popular song hit this country ever
saw.
Among the Many Big Numbers Published by
Fred Fisher, Inc., are:—
"Chicago."
"Ji Ji Boo."
"Tell Me Why You and I Should
Be Strangers?"
"I'll Remember."
"Israel."
"Mylo."
"My Honey's Lovin' Arms."
"Little Town in the Ould County
Down."
(Published three keys low, medium and high)
"I Wish There Was a Wireless to
Heaven."
"I Want to Borrow a Sweet
Mama."
"I'm a Little Waltz."
"My Idaho."
