CINCINNATI, O., March 24.—Sheet music dealers
in Cincinnati report that their business during
the first half of March has shown a marked
improvement over February sales. The volume
of trade has been about on a par with the same
period in 1923, although in several cases it has
been larger. Many of the local music merchants
profited the past week by featuring Irish songs
appropriate to St. Patrick's day. The Rudoloh
Wurlitzer Co. had one of the best window dis-
plays in the city bearing upon St. Patrick's day
with trimmings of bright green, the sheet music
of Irish songs occupying a prominent position.
The significance of the season was further
added to by the placing of a large harp in the
background.
During the past several years there have been
any number of song hook-ups with photoplay
showings. Invariably the title of the song and
picture were the same or similar. Some of these
brought forth remarkable returns and others,
owing to the lack of vitality of the composi-
tions themselves, were not huge successes.
Where the number had merit the combination-
exploitation program was of exceptional value.
This brings to mind the new song, "Love
Has a Way," published by Harold Flammer,
Inc., and which is dedicated to Mary Pickford
and used as a musical theme in her new photo-
play, "Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall." Miss
Pickford has taken unusual interest in this
musical offering and has done much to see

to the advantage of the song. "Love Has a
Way" is by Victor Scherzinger, writer of the
international success, "Marcheta."

the exhibition, the song, "Love Has a Way,"

Sheet music dealers in all the cities mentioned

will have a conspicuous place upon these deal-
