can't do wifouti with
days of the early settlers. Grant was then asso-
ciated with the Carl Hoffman Music Co. The
composer of "Sweet Alice Ben Bolt" was in
Kansas City about that time with a manuscript
trying to have it published.
Grant and the composer didn't get together.
The composer insisted upon having it published
on royalty basis and Grant said their policy was
to buy their publications outright. The papers
got wind of the story. So did Mr. Jenkins, and
he engaged him on the spot!
I can't say how far back that goes, but the
copyright on "Sweet Alice Ben Bolt" ran out
quite a few years ago. Figure it out for your-
self. Since his career in the publishing depart-
ment, Grant has been very active, kept up the
pace with the other Western publishers and has
brought out many successful tunes, some of the
most popular being "Twelfth St. Rag," "Dan-
gerous Blues," "Lonesome Mama Blues," "Mem-
ory's Garden" and "Adoration Waltz."
From personal knowledge and friendship of
long standing, I know of no one in the indus-
try who keeps up his youthful spirit, so neces-
sary through life, as my friend Grant, partly
due to the fact that he is so happily married.
Those who know Mrs. Ege have found her to
be a very charming and interesting woman.
The assistant and right hand bower to Mr.
Ege is our genial friend, Harry T. Knowles,
who looks after the ordering under Mr. Ege's
supervision. Mr. Al Groene has charge of the
Orchestra Department.
While in the Jenkins' store I was quite
pleased to meet Miss Martha Young, who has
charge of the professional department. She
states "Adoration Waltz" is keeping right on
top. They are working on "Kis's Me Good-
night," a beautiful flowing waltz melody, also
' Dancin' Out," an irresistible fox trot by the
well-known Lucien Denni. They also have an-
other new number by Mr. and Mrs. Denni, en-

Stasny Publication
is "On Wings of Love," a Mexican serenade.
Mr. Ege has certainly used good judgment
in selecting this talented young lady for the pro-
fessional department, for she knows music as
well as the youngster knows his A.B.C's.
As I walked out of this friendly store on my
way to lunch, the thought came to me I had
probably forgotten many items of interest due
to the fascination of the many charming girls
connected with the House of Jenkins. The
cordial friendship of this house displayed to
"We Easterners" is one of the reasons why
Kansas City is called "The Heart of America,"
I do believe.
Harvey Orr was in town representing the in-
terests of Sherman, Clay & Co., of San Fran-
cisco. This boy typifies and reflects all the
good qualities and the nice things that the in-
dustry already knows about the house of Sher-
man-Clay. He is their road representative,
traveling from coast to coast and is now work-
ing East. He reports trade in good condition
and wishes to have the fact known that "Rock-
a-bye Baby Blues" is No. 1 in their catalog and
"1 Don't Want You to Cry Over Me" is sec-
ond best.
Mr. Rockwell and his "better half" are in
charge of the Music Department in the Wun-
derlich Piano Store. They have established
themselves nicely and are well pleased with the
outlook for this coming season.
Leo Feist, Inc., is represented locally by
Harry Kessel, and Shapiro, Bernstein Co., have
a representative—Steve Cady.
New Ditson Organ
Instruction Book
"First Lessons on the Organ," by Gordon Balch
Nevin, a Comprehensive Manual for the Or-
gan Beginner.
The Oliver Ditson Co. has issued a new in-
structive organ book entitled "First Lessons
on the Organ" by Gordon Balch Nevin, author
of "A Primer of Organ Registration" and
"Swell Pedal Technic." Illustrations of the
correct positions of the hands and feet at the
organ are shown in the frontispiece. A preface
by the author also appears pointing out some
of the particularly attractive features 'of the
work and there follows a note to organ teachers.
The book is divided into three parts, studies
for the manuals, studies for the pedals and the
pedals with the hands alternately. Detailed de-
scriptions appear throughout. There are several
pages given over to the adaptation of paino
accompaniments to the organ, organ technic for
theatre purposes and details for such organ
workers to avoid. The book is quite thorough
and is a valuable contribution to a field.
Number Is Widely Featured by Many of the
Leading Orchestras That Are Now Before
the Public
A new successful song and dance recently
issued by the A. J. Stasny Music Co., Inc., 56
West 45th Street, New York City, is entitled
"Bye, Bye Baby." Although one of the newer
releases it has already created much interest,
for among the orchestras who at present use
it are those of Vincent Lopez, Ray Miller, Paul
Specht, Benson Orchestra of Chicago and all
of the Meyer Davis' orchestras in the East and
Middle West.
Brooke Johns, late of the Ziegfeld Follies,
who played in the Piccadilly Hotel, London, and
who was subsequently booked in France and
Italy, is also introducing this new offering on
the other side.
New Musical Production
"Polly,".a musical version of "Polly of the
Circus," was recently produced in San Francisco
by Thos. Wilkes, who is producer and respon-
sible for the success of "Topsy and Eva." The
music is by Hugh Felix and lyrics of Frederic
Martens. The outstanding songs are "Rumble"
and "All the World is Loving." The music
published by Leo Feist, Inc.
Drive on "Worryin' Blues"
The Sam Fox Publishing Co., Cleveland, O.,
is making a special drive on "Worryin' Blues,"
the number that achieved national distinction
by being played by Philip Spitalny and His Or-
chestra for Victor records. This song, with a
lyric by Gus Kahn and music by Stubby Gordon
and Philip Spitalny, is not only popular on the
dance floors of the country, but has been used
in vaudeville programs.
