t
The Bennett Twins, one of vaudeville's most
important and successful sister combinations, are
celebrating their tenth anniversary as enter-
tainers to the American public and, incidentally,
their nineteenth birthday.
These popular artists have long been looked
upon by popular publishers as most successful
song exploiters. They were very active in fea-
turing the past season success, "The Old
Swiminin' Hole," in a novel manner in Harry
Carroll's Revue, "Varieties of 1921."
They arc ;it present appearing at the Board-
walk, OIK- of Broadway's most successful
cabarets. Tiny are still programing "The Old
Swimmin' Hole" and have added "We're the
1'ride of Paradise Alley," written especially for
them by Jimmy McHugh, professional manager
of Jack Mills, Inc.; also the Jack Mills' song,
"If You Think So, You're Crazy." In addition
to their appearance at the above house they are
"doubling" in a tour of adjacent New York
vaudeville houses.
A. J. STASNYJN EUROPE
New York Publisher and His Wife Spending
Some Weeks Abroad
Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Stasny, of the A. J. Stasny
Music Co., who, in addition to their American
publishing business, have a London office with
fourteen branches, are spending some time on
the continent of Europe. They have visited the
various battlefields and will shortly make a trip
through German territory.
Bill Jacobs, traveling sales representative for
Irving Berlin, Inc., is now on his usual Fall trip.
At present he is in the Middle West and will
shortly go to the Pacific Coast.
Bryan Fitzgerald, also known as "Bryan
Foy," applied to Federal Judge Knox last
week for a temporary injunction restraining
Edward Gallagher, Al Shean and Jack Mills,
Inc., from publishing or reproducing in any way
the topical song, "Oh, Mister Gallagher and
Mister Shean," until a trial could be had to dis-
cover the amount of damages that should be
awarded.
The defendants conceded that they used the
song in a theatrical performance and also of-
fered it for sale, but asserted that the idea of the
song came from them and that all the defend-
ant did was to provide the verses. The plain-
tiff stated that the right of the defendants to
use the song was confined to its use on the
stage, on a royalty basis, and that the damages
suffered by him come through its sale in printed
form.
The Court denied the injunction on the ground
that the facts indicated that the plaintiff had un-
reservedly assigned all his rights in the song.
PORTLAND, ORE., August 12.—The sheet music de-
partment of Lipman, Wolfe & Co.'s store staged
a three days' sale of sheet music on the main
floor of the big establishment. Kathleen Benoit
Campbell, manager of the department, when asked
the reason for the sale said that it was twofold
—to make room for new stock and then to let
the public know that they had a complete sheet
music department on the seventh floor of the
store. During the sale sheet music was virtually
given away, as you could obtain three good
pieces of music for the sum of ten cents.
The Portland Remick Song & Gift Shop was
visited last week by J. B. Kelver, of the Remick
Chicago office.
The Portland sheet music dealers were visited
last week by George Furniss, representing the
Oliver Ditson Co. Mr. Furniss was specially
featuring the firm's handsome Musician's Library.
The trade was also visited last week by S.
Simon, of the McKinley Music Co., of Chicago.

NEW REMICK RELEASE
Jerome H. Remick & Co. have released a new
fox-trot ballad by Henry Creamer and Dave
Franklyn entitled "Childhood Days." The song
is showing up well and with "Nobody Lied,"
"Sweet Indiana Home" and "Song of Persia" is
being featured by the professional department.
SYLVIO HEIN FULLY RECOVERED
»
Sylvio Hein, the well-known composer, who
for the past year has undergone a series of oper-
ations, is now completely recovered and is act-
ing as manager of the Marie Tempest show, "A
Serpent's Tooth."
Besides the success "Romany Love," now be-
ing featured by the Sam Fox Pub. Co., of New
York and Cleveland, O., the company is also in-
cluding in the Fall campaign "Eleanor," a fox-
trot song with words by Arthur J. Lamb and
music by Jessie L. Deppen, and also the novelty
"Nola," which has won much favor in orchestra
circles. "Nola" is a novelty piano solo and many
of the orchestras render it in a way that allows
piano passages to stand out. The new Geoffry
O'Hara ballad, "I Love a Little Cottage," is
showing activity and promises to be heard quite
frequently in both vaudeville and the concert
field.
