"Hope On," while not an old contribution, is,

"Ukulele Blues" Likely
to Be Big Seller
New Edward B. Marks Number by May Singhi
Breen Shows All Signs of Being a Big Hit
May Singhi Breen, one of the authorities on
ukuleles and a well-known player and arranger,
recently placed with the Edward B. Marks Music-
Co, a new number, entitled "Ukulele Blues."
Both the sales and the professional departments
of the above publishing house look forward to
this new issue having wide popularity and are
planning a special campaign for its exploitation.
The number is already widely known among
radio fans as the Happiness Boys and Miss
Breen herself have been broadcasting it from
Station WEAF and others for some time. It
has proved a great favorite, has a catchy melody,
and lends itself admirably to broadcasting. Most
of the leading talking machine and player-roll
organizations have recorded the number for
carlv release.
"Oriental Love Dreams"
"Oriental Love Dreams," the newest release
from the catalog of Sherman, Clay & Co., San
Francisco, recorded for the Victor Co. by Coon
Sanders' Orchestra, and played by that musical
combination at the Hotel Muehlbach, Kansas
City, is fast repeating its success in Eastern
territory. This number originally had its pop-
ularity on the Pacific Coast, where its sales were
as large as the waltz number "Sleep" from the
same catalog.
