THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
Looks Like a Sensation!
FOX-TROT SONG SUCCESS
JUNE 9,
1923
THREE NEW POPULAR W1TMARK HITS
"Long-lost Mamma," "Slow Poke" and "Bebe"
All Reported in Wide Demand
HIT/AL\yAYX-,HIT//i'ONLY
Used by Leading Orchestras Everywhere
Among the other popular successes that M.
Witmark-& Sons are taking along with them in
moving from the old Witmark Building on West
Thirty-seventh street to the new modern and
spacious quarters taken over by this firm at
1650 Broadway are three new hits. One of these
is "Long-lost Mamma, Daddy Misses You," a
fox-trot blues song by Harry Woods that looks
like one of the season's big successes. "Long-
lost Mamma" is a bit different and attracts at-
tention. Then there's "Slow Poke," another
real novelty in a slow fox-trot, by Faggen and
Gold, combining some good melody with a hu-
morous twist in the words. There's nothing
slow about "Slow Poke" outside of its title. The
last of the trio of new fox-trot hits is "Bebe,"
by Sam Coslow and Abner Silver, the composer
of such other recent successes as "Angel Child,"
"Say It While Dancing," "Carry Me Back to My
Carolina Home" and "When Will the Sun Shine
for Me"—all Witmark songs, by the way. Pro-
fessionally and commercially, "Bebe," "Slow
Poke" and "Long-lost Mamma" constitute a
healthy trio of popular favorites.

PLAZA CO. EXTENDS SERVICE
Places All Facilities at the Command of the
Dealer in Everything Musical
The Plaza Music Co., the well-known New
York music distributor, has greatly enlarged
its dealer service during recent months. Ac-
cording to Sol Kronberg, of the above com-
pany, while the sheet music business of the
company is quite Large, it is only one part of
the activities of the firm's business, the Plaza
Co. having departments for talking machines,
particularly portables, records, Jewel music
rolls, needles and every conceivable supply for
either the talking machine, sheet music or piano
dealer. The Plaza Co. states that this adds
considerably to the service it can give the re-
tailer. It makes it possible for the trade to
get practically all its needs from one source,
thereby simplifying the ordering of goods,
making- for prompt deliveries.

given it the leading position in their program.

recently released, has shown unusual activity
for a new number. The professional depart-
ment of the Mills organization will place it in
numerous vaudeville acts during the Summer
