Broadway Dance Hall Features Witmark Muni-

Vincent Lopez, playing at the Pennsylvania
Hotel, New York, has entered into a contract
with the Woodlawn Theatre Co., of Chicago,
whereby he will supply the latter with twenty-
five special orchestrations of popular dance tunes
for a consideration that is said to be well up in
four figures. This is the first time that such a
large sum has been paid for a limited number of
orchestrations and establishes a precedent.
J. Bodewalt Lampe, who makes the Lopez or-
chestrations, will start to work immediately on
several new numbers, so as to have them all
ready by September, when the Woodlawn people
open their new dance hall, The Trianon, said to
be the largest and most exquisite dance hall in the
Middle West.
Paul Sternberg, musical director for the Wood-
lawn Theatre Co., heard the Lopez Orchestra and
expressed his delight with the novelty and beauty
of the Lampe arrangements.. He entered into
negotiations immediately and the contract is the
result. The work of orchestrating is by no means
easy, as Mr. Sternberg will have thirty-four men
in the Trianon Orchestra. It is understood that
there is a renewal clause in the contract, so that it
is possible that all orchestrations used in the
Trianon Ball Room will be purchased from
Mr. Lopez.
PORTLAND, ORE., August 5.—There has been a
change in the management of the Portland Rem-
ick Song and Gift Shop. J. B. Kelver, general man-
ager, of Chicago, has sent I. F. Sklare to Port-
land to take the place of Clyde Freeman.
The largest shipment of musical supplies that
he has ever received came to Louis Mack, sheet
music dealer of Portland, via the Panama Canal,
from the publishing house of the B. F. Wood
Music Co., of Boston.
One of the busiest little music shops in the city
is "Peggy's Song Shop," on Broadway, and
"Peggy," Miss Octavia Garrett, owner and man-
ager, says that they are doing a wonderful Sum-
mer business and are kept busy all the time. She
says that "Don't Bring Me Posies" and "Some
Sunny Day," two Irving Berlin numbers, and the
Jack Mills' song version of "Kitten on the Keys"
are among her present best sellers.
Kathleen Benoit Campbell, manager of the
sheet music department of Lipman, Wolfe & Co.,
says that her present most popular sellers are
Remick's "Sweet Indiana Home," Sherman,
Clay & Co.'s "You Won't Be Sorry" and Feist's
"Stumbling." She says that Harms' "Old-fash-
ioned Garden" never grows old.
Roseland, one of the most popular dance halls
of Broadway, recently had a "Say It While Danc-
ing" night. A big banner spread across the en-
trance announced the feature a week in advance
and the Roseland clientele was also informed by
mail. An autographed copy of the song, "Sav
It While Dancing" was given to every lady as
she entered the hall and the number was fea-
tured by the two Roseland orchestras throughout
the evening. Benny Davis and Abner Silver,
writers of "Angel Child," are the authors, and
M. Witmark & Sons are the publishers.
PHILPITT AND THE RADIO
EAGERVILI.E, I I I . , August 8.—David J. Livingston
has put the little town of Eagerville on the map
by breaking the world's record for continuous
piano playing.
Livingston, a Scotchman, left the piano early
Sunday morning at the Central Saloon, after play-
ing continuously for seventy-two hours, twenty
minutes and thirty seconds. The previous rec-
ord was seventy-two hours and nine minutes.
JACKSONVILLE, FLA., August 7.—Radio fans last
night enjoyed a program which was as artistic
as it was unusual, when the opera, "Martha," was
broadcasted over the Florida Times-Union sta-
tion DWAL.
This program was arranged by the manager of
the Victrola department of the S. E. Philpitt store.

progress made in putting his firm on the map.
