Since its removal to its new quarters in the
Navex Building on Forty-sixth street, next to
the home of the National Vaudeville Artists, the
Edward B. Marks Music Co. has shown unusual
activity. Its new location is ideal for the re-
ception of vaudeville artists and orchestra lead-
ers, and the result is that the professional, bank
and orchestra and executive departments arc
quite busy.
Edward B. Marks, head of the music pub-
lishing concern bearing his name, recently an-
nounced the acquisition of a number of new,
songs by prominent writers. Included in these
are "Way Down Home," by Walter Donaldson,
writer of "Georgia," "Mammy," "Gin, Gin, Ginny
Shore," and other successes; "At the Darktown
Flappers' Ball," by Bernie Grossman and Irving
Maslof, writers of "Tell Her at Twilight," and
a new promising number by Bennie Davis, writer
of "Margie," "Angel Child," etc. Other num-
bers have been selected from the pens of Pete
.Wendling and Max Kortlander, who in the past
have contributed many popular hits to the world
of music.
This new announcement includes the news that
the Edward B. Marks Music Co. has arranged
a contract with Gus Edwards whereby the Marks
firm will publish his two latest numbers, "Won-
derful You," and "Let's Mend the Crack in the
Liberty Bell."
"Wonderful You" is a melody fox-trot song,
with a lyric that should assist it greatly in
achieving popularity. "Let's Mend the Crack in
the Liberty Bell" is a very catchy tune with
clever and timely lyrics by Will D. Cobb.
Both of the latter numbers are features in
Gus Edwards' Fifteenth Annual Song Revue now
playing the Orpheum Circuit and are also fea-
tured in Murray's new revue by Miss Nester
and Mario Villani.
Judging from hundreds of window displays it
is evident that the wider the window the better
it lends itself for sheet music display purposes.

of window displays and their effect on the pub-

Cleveland store succeeds in getting just that.
