"I'm Going South" and "California, Here I
Come," Both Very Popular—Featured at Pres
ent Time in Many Musical Productions
M. Witniark & Sons have been singularly
fortunate this season in the publication, almost
simultaneously, of two successes, both intro-
duced and continuously sung by Al Jolson, who
is continuing his tour in the musical show
"Hombo." These songs are "I'm Going South"
and "California, Here I Come," both typical
Jolson melodies.
It might be remarked that the writers of these
songs, Bud De Sylva and Joe Meyer, as well as
Jolson himself, are all California boys. Thus
the second of the two songs mentioned has
more than a little home sentiment attached to
it.
While both songs are sung in Jolson's "Bom-
bo" they are not, however, restricted to that
production. They arc being frequently sung in
vaudeville, are used by Bob Nelson in "Artists
and Models"; George E. Price in "Spices of
1923"; Willie Howard in "The Passing Show,"
and other headline attractions.

A feature of the Bar Harbor aggregation is
that no brass instruments are employed and
yet their harmonies and distinctive rhythm have
made them international record favorites.

Middle West. While away she will spend
some time in Chicago with the local representa-
tive of the Stasny Co. and arrange details for a
wide campaign on the firm's catalog in that ter-
ritory. Among the songs which the firm intends
to exploit widely are "Arabianna," "Waltz Me
to Sleep in Your Arms," "Promise Me Every-
thing Blues," "In the Town Where I Was
Born"- and "Don't Waste Your Tears Over Me."
"Moonlight" Numbers Scoring
Bar Harbor Society Orchestra Receives Indefi-
nite Engagement at Widely Known Montreal
Cabaret
The music of "Moonlight," by Con Conrad,
has been accorded some unusual publicity for a
new production. Not one, but several numbers
of the show have called forth much comment
from the metropolitan press. From present in-
dications it looks like the publishers, the E. B.
Marks Music Co., will find a very heavy call for
such numbers as "Say It Again," "On Such a
Night," "Forever" and "Aren't We All."
The Bar Harbor Society Orchestra, famous

Hen Selvin, began an indefinite engagement on

"Waltz Me to Sleep in Your Arms," from the

His Hotel Pennsylvania Orchestra.

New Issues in Catalog
of the Boston Music Go.
New Songs by Carrie Jacobs-Bond, William
Reddick and Claude MacArthur, as Well as
Instrumental Numbers, Included
The Boston Music Co., of New York and
Boston, Mass., has issued two new piano com-
positions which can be described as distinctly
teaching and recital pieces. They are "By the
Fireside" and "Wild Horseman." There have
also been released three sketches for violin and
piano by Hannah Smith, arranged by Edmund
Severn. All are particularly appropriate for
the young pianist and teacher and are of simple
construction. They are entitled "Tyrolean,"
"Plantation Melody" and "Mattinata."
Gordon Johnstone has written the words and
William Reddick the music of "Red Bombay,"
a distinctly man's song, which was recently in-
troduced by John Charles Thomas. It is along
the style of "Mandalay" and is issued for either
high or low voice.
A novelty song, entitled "Boys," of humorous
character, with words by Thomas Grant
Springer and music by Claude MacArthur, is
also one of the new releases by this house.
This song should have wide appeal.
The new songs of Carrie Jacobs-Bond,
"Homeland" and "Were I," are also included
among the new issues. Both of these latter
numbers have had wide introduction during the
recent week's celebration in honor of this com-
poser.

Jack Mills, head of Jack Mills, Inc., is spend-

firm's activities in Middle West territory. His
Western trip was made following a week spent
in important cities of Canada.
