All told the campaign should reach every
theatre, motion picture house, dance hall, caba-
ret and other places of entertainment. Special
crews of song pluggers have been added to the
Waterson staff for this thirty-days' sales drive
and these singers will cover the smaller cities
of the country allowing the branch offices of the
organizations to confine their activities to the
larger centres.
Window strips, banners, streamers, extra title
pages and appropriate literature are being for-
warded by the publishers and jobbers of the
country to retailers so that all can co-operate in
the activity.
In conjunction with the drive on "Blue-Eyed
Sally" the songs "In Shadowland" and "Where
Is My Sweetie Hiding" will be used as encore
and supplementary material to the main cam-
paign.

Of the younger generation of lyricists none
has received more prominence in recent months
than Martha Ostenso, the writer of the lyrics
of "Wind on the Hill" and other songs now
appearing in the catalog of the John Franklin
Music Co. This song, set to music by Chris-
topher O'Hare, has already received wide rec-
ognition. Among other things, it is the compc-

High School Glee Clubs. Miss Ostenso came
in for some unusual publicity through winning
the $13,000 prize offered by the Dodd Mead
Co., Pictorial Review and Famous Players with
,i novel entitled "The Passionate Flight." The
John Franklin Music Co., which will publish
all of Miss Ostenso's compositions, has already
issued an "April Song."
