HEARST OPENS NEW YORK BRANCH
Winnipeg, Canada, Publishers Plan Wide Ex-
tension of Activities With National Organiza-
tion Throughout United States and Canada
Hearst, Music Publisher, Ltd., Winnipeg,
Canada, marketed several successful songs dur-
ing the past season which resulted in the de-
claring of a substantial dividend at the last meet-
ing of the company's board of directors. Since
that time the firm has greatly extended its ac-
tivities and has appointed representatives and
opened branches in several large cities of the
United States. Among these is an office in the
Roseland Building, 1658 Broadway, New York
City, under the direction of Everett J. Evans,
who is assisted by Robert Branen and a full
staff of song pluggers who will feature Hearst
songs in Eastern territory. The company has
offices at 188 Yonge street, Toronto, Canada,
under the management of Bert Caldwell, who is
assisted by Billy Davis and a staff of exploiters.
The detail work and executive offices of the
company will be continued in Winnipeg with
distributing points in the other cities mentioned,
as well as Chicago. A full stock of Hearst pub-
lications, orchestrations, etc., are carried in all
offices.
BUYS OUT PARTNER'S INTEREST
James Kendis Purchases Interest of James
Brockman in Kendis & Brockman Music Co.
James Kendis, of the firm of Kendis & Brock-
man Music Co., Inc., 145 West Forty-fifth street,
New York, has purchased the interest of his
co-partner, James Brockman. The firm will re-
tain its present name and headquarters.
Kendis and Brockman, known as the James
Boys, have for the last five years published a
series of unusual song successes which, after
a preliminary introduction, were sold to various
catalogs. Among the numbers that they are
credited with writing are; "I'm Forever Blow-
ing Bubbles," "Golden Gate," "Feather Your
Nest" and "I Know What It Means to Be
Lonesome." Mr. Kendis states he will shortly
announce a series of new compositions.
NEW BUFFALO PUBLISHER
Bert Burns, John Shaffer and W. J. O'Neil Form
Concern Known as Burns-Shaffer Co.
BUFFALO, N. Y., February 24.—A new music pub-
lishing house is soon to be opened in Buffalo
by Bert Burns, John Shaffer and William J.
O'Neil. These young men have written a num-
ber of popular songs. Their offices will be
located at 765 Elniwood avenue. The new firm
will be known as the Burns-Shaffer Co. Mr.
O'Neil is organist in the Lafayette Theatre and
will give initial presentation of the new songs
there. The first songs the company will put
on the market are "At the Rainbow End" and
"When the Sweet Hawthorn Is in Flower."
TWO NUMBERS FROM THE WEST
"Peggy Dear" and "Apple Sauce" are two
songs which have obtained some popularity in
Eastern territory, but which are Pacific Coast
productions. Both numbers were conceived
there and were introduced in Los Angeles by
Abe Lyman's Orchestra, a group of musicians
which it is said is soon to arrive in the East
to spread the fame of its Los Angeles triumph.
LITTLE DELAYS EASTERN TRIP
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL., February 20.—Ed. Little,
