Popular Sheet Music
Shows Gradual Revival
Bottom Point of Depression Passed and Steady
Advance Now Seen Ahead of the Trade
Sales of popular sheet music have somewhat
revived during the past ten days. Previously
they had hit their low mark of several seasons.
While it is true there is a long list of good songs
available for the music counters there seems to
be a feeling that some new and outstanding song
would arouse new interest.
The main thing is to lure people into the
music stores. This done, sales are not only
made of the number called for, but, invariably,
the prospective purchaser can be induced to buy
other songs or merchandise.
There is a tendency with some publishing
houses to withhold new songs for a more in-
viting period. If this is adhered to a distinct
revival in sales could be held off for a period
of weeks. Publishers may withhold exploitation
of sales activities for a short time, but having
meritorious numbers in manuscript form that
seemingly have good possibilities constantly
tempts them to issue the number. Most songs,
therefore, that should be exploited are generally
released without too long a delay, although
mistakes in judgment as to the opportune
moment are frequently made. With the slight

tendency for renewed activity of the past ten
days a more optimistic atmosphere is becoming
prevalent and the usual Spring and pre-Summer
campaigns will probably be carried out on as
large a scale as heretofore, if indeed it is not
larger. New Songs widely exploited and re-
newed activity on the more meritorious songs in
the older catalogs would, at least, command the
attention of the consumers and retailers and
would tend to get the most sales out of a none
too favorable situation.
"Nobody's Sweetheart"
Ben Bernie and His Orchestra, which opened
recently at the Hotel Shelbourne, at Brighton
Beach, have informed Jack Mills, Inc., that they
have received many requests for "Nobody's
Sweetheart," the Gus-Kahn Schoebel-Erdman
dance hit. Charley Doernberger, who, with his
famous Victor record orchestra, opened this
week at an exclusive Kansas City club, writes
that "Nobody's Sweetheart" is one of the favor-
ites of Kansas City dance "fans."
Play Jack Mills Numbers
Art Kahn, leader of the orchestra at the
Senate in Chicago, is featuring " 'Way Down in
Georgia," an unusually beautiful number, of
which he is the writer. The Kahn orchestra is
also exploiting "Hand in Hand," a novelty fox-
trot fantasy, of which Mr. Kahn is co-author.
Both of these numbers are published by Jack
Mills, Inc., and will be widely exploited by that
firm. The Art Kahn aggregation, incidentally,
is proving highly successful as recording artists
for the Columbia.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL., May 22.—The sheet music
department of Kohler & Chase is experiencing
a good demand for songs. The manager stated
that the sheet music business in this territory
has shown a decided improvement in May over
the past three months. Henry Grobe, of the
sheet music department, Wiley B. Allen store,
expressed satisfaction at the demand for sheet
music. He said that, especially in the matter
of standard music, he is finding radio broad-
casting advantageous in creating popular de-
mand for numbers, the people's reaction being
almost immediate.
