NEW "BLOSSOM TIME" SHOW
FEIST SECURES "VAMP ME"
Number Three Company to Open With Popular
Operetta in Syracuse
Byron Gay, the writer of "The Vamp," which
several seasons ago was a big success, has
placed with Leo Feist, Inc., a new novelty
called "Vamp Me." Gay is a product from the
Pacific Coast and, while not a prolific writer, he
has written some very popular songs. He has
the record for writing a popular song with
the shortest title ever published; it was called
"Oh." His first song which attracted attention
is entitled "The Little Ford Rambled Right
Along." This latter number attained wide-
spread popularity.
A No. 3 "Blossom Time" company is being
created by the Shuberts and will open at Syra-
cuse Christinas Day. "Blossom Time" promises
to outdo "Maytime" as an operetta success.
The No. 1 show is playing to excellent business
in Philadelphia, while a No. 2 company con-
tinues the Broadway run and is averaging a
good gross weekly at the Century. Leo Feist,
Inc., publish the music.

NEW BOOK OF FOLK SONOS
Angela Diller and Elizabeth Quaile Arrange
Children's Book, "When All the World Was
Young"—Folk Songs From Many Lands
Angela Diller and Elizabeth Quaile, who have
collaborated in several successful books for
children, have arranged and edited a volume
"When All the World Was Young." It con-
tains a collection of folk tunes from a number
of countries arranged for piano solo and duets
and comprising forty-six pieces in all. In the
opinion of the authors a young student whose
taste is trained by hearing and playing beautiful
old folk tunes will easily develop an apprecia-
tion of the masterpieces of musical literature,
of which these are the forerunners. Special
markings have been employed to aid intelli-
gent reading by making the phrasing clear to
the eye. The Willis Music Co., Cincinnati, O.,
is the publisher.

"Sonja," the Russian ballad and dance, is one
of the outstanding features of "The Passing
Show of 1922," now playing at the Winter
Garden, New York. It is introduced in that
offering by Willie Howard, of the famous team
of Howard Brothers.
Ina Hayward, the prima donna in the Andre
Sherri production, "Follies Revue," now play-
ing at the Roman Gardens, New York, is also
singing this Russian composition. In order to
give proper atmosphere to the rendition of this
number Russian costumes were imported for
the chorus.
"Sonja" is published by the Edward B. Marks
Music Co., and this, together with "The Parade
of the Wooden Soldiers," also originally a Rus-
sian composition, and a fox-trot number, has
been selected by Vincent Lopez for his Penn-
sylvania Hotel Orchestra as the feature num-
ber of the season. It is also being played by
the leading orchestras everywhere.
The Opera in Our Language Foundation, Inc.,
and the David Bispham Memorial Fund, Inc.,
both of which are endorsed by the National
Federation of Music Clubs, the National Federa-
tion of Women's Clubs and the League of
American Pen Women, have inaugurated a cam-
paign to further national musical art by estab-
lishing American opera; to assist the American
composer, notably of opera, and to assist com-
panies and others interested in such works.
It is proposed that all organized clubs during
the season of 1922-1923 give benefit programs
for the campaign. It is hoped that with these
funds an American opera house can be built.
"Flower of Araby" is the title of a new fox-
trot of Oriental flavor which is now being fea-
tured by Paul Whiteman and His Orchestra.
The number, although only recently introduced,
is quite popular with the dancers at the Palais
Royal, where the Whiteman organization ap-
pears nightly. Whiteman himself thinks it will
be one of the outstanding dance successes of
the season. Leo Feist, Inc., is the publisher.
