A new Feist song, "Mister Radio Man" (Send
Back My Mammy to Me), has, as its title would
suggest, received much encouragement from
radio broadcasting stations in Eastern territory.
As no mention was made, however, of the pub-
lisher, a great many written inquiries were
received by the station giving the song its pub-
licity. William A. Emerson, a producer of
minstrel shows, 231 Main street, Haverhill,
Mass., took a chance and wrote the following
note to Leo Feist, Inc.:
"Can you give me any information regarding
the song 'Mister Radio Man' (Send Back My
Mammy to Me)? I heard this number by radio
on last Monday night from Station WOR. I
wrote them for the publisher, but received no
answer yet. It sounds like a Feist number."
If the song proves a big success the last
quoted line can be considered a compliment. If
not?

The Rainbow Music Corp., specializing in
"blue" and "race" songs, is finding a very active
sale for a number of its songs, including "Mis-
treatin' Daddy," "Love Ain't Blind No More"
and "Tantalizin' Mamma." Much of the original
popularity on these issues was received in talk-
ing machine record form, the numbers having
been rendered by prominent "blues" singing
artists. The sales department anticipates in-
creased activity during the coming weeks.
Cadman Song a Success
"My Thoughts Are You," by Charles Wake-
field Cadman and John Steel, has climbed its
way to a position where it is now the second
best seller in the Harold Flammer catalog. Its
increasing popularity has led to the release
of this song February 1 on the Brunswick rec-
ord. Harold Flammer, Inc., has also received
several requests for the foreign rights for the
number.
