up of popular melodies and humorous interludes.
The advance sale for this opening concert of
the tour had reached over the 10,000 mark in
actual admissions. They are now on their
Western tour. It is wise for the trade to keep
in touch with this wonderful Victor publicity
campaign and reap the benefit.
The Denver Music Co. has been established
in this community for many years and bears a
splendid reputation for everything musical,
ranking as high as Mason & Hamlin with their
pianos, Victor, Brunswick and the other best-
known phonographs. In sheet music Miss Nell
C. Frost, the lady in charge, is very happy over
the fact that they can meet all the requirements
for the better class singer, school and college—
in other words, the professional, the amateur
and, of course, the public at large. Little Miss
Irene Vinyard, a charming, pink-faced (natural),
magnetic being, is the assistant.

perience in the local music field. She has many
friends who have acquainted themselves with
this charming lady who is able to fulfill all their
wants and specializes particularly in teaching
material.
The Song Castle is located in rather a con-
spicuous spot. Herman Castle, the owner, re-
ports good business, his principal line is popular
music as well as a representative stock of Black
and White Ballads.
The most progressive movement undertaken
by the music houses in Denver is a publicity
campaign educating the people to use more
music in the form of a consolidated idea of
advertising in the papers, periodicals, etc., in this
community, contributed in part by each music
house, with every dealer's name linked in the
advertising. What a splendid idea this is.
The Denver music trade is sending this mes-
sage throughout the country so that in other
sections where there is a possibility of discord
harmony may be transplanted in its place.
New Kern Production
Scores With Critics
"Be Yourself," Score of Which Is Published
by Harms, Inc., Wins Success on Its Opening
in New York City
Each year the trade and public alike can look
forward to a Jerome Kern musical production.
The offerings for which he furnishes the music
have fortunately little of the gamble in them.
Invariably they come and they stay, and the
music is always a vital factor. Mr. Kern fur-
nishes music that is typically "Kern." Some
of his latest offerings may lack the originality
that he showed in his younger days, but never-
theless it is fitting to the libretto and is eagerly
awaited and responded to by the public. He
has caught the style that fills the heart of the
average American and having caught it he sticks
to it. This season's Kern show is entitled
"Dear Sir," a musical comedy in two acts and
six scenes. The book is by Edgar Selwyn and
the lyrics by Howard Dietz. It is produced by
Philip Goodman and recently opened at the
Times Square Theatre, New York City.
In a review of the new show the Times heads
its comment with "Beautiful Music Adorns
'Dear Sir.' " It later states that much of it
will be popular. The cast includes Genevieve
Tobin, Walter Catlett, Kathlene Martyn, Joseph
Allen, Helen Carrington and others. The out-
standing songs are: "All Lanes Must Reach a
Turning," "Weeping Willow Tree," "Gypsy
Caravan," "I Want to Be There" and "If You
Think It Love You're Right." T. B. Harms,
Inc., publish the music.
Kansas City Good Sellers
KANSAS CITY, M O , Sept. 27.—"What'll I Do" is
still is demand, and "Memory Lane," "May
Time," "June Night" and "Adoration Waltz"
are all enjoying popularity. The Starr Piano
Co. also finds "What'll I Do" an excellent sales
number. Others which are leading the sales
are "Little Old Lady," "Steady Steppin' Papa"
and "A New Kind of Man."
America's intense interest in the recent visit
of the Prince of Wales to this country is re-
flected in the brisk sales at Wunderlich's of the
Victor record by the Prince on "Sportsman-
ship." Immediate response was noted as soon
as the advertising announcement of the record
was made, and it has proved highly popular,
especially with the women of Kansas City.
"Patsy" and "Weary Blues" are selling well.
