Feist Starts Spring Drive
With Popular Catalog
Large Number of Publications in Present Cata-
log Bear All Marks of Reaching the Hit
Class
Leo Feist, Inc., is starting out the Spring sea-
son with a catalog rivaling in popularity, if not
exceeding, that of last Spring when they had
among their leaders two of the biggest hits,
"Linger Awhile" and "I Love You."
This Spring the Feist catalog has "O Katha-
rina," undoubtedly one of the quickest suc-
cesses in several years. Originally introduced
in "Chauve Souris" it has been popular with
photoplay orchestras, in theatres and the dance
halls of the country. A criterion of the popu-
larity of this offering has been demonstrated by
Victor Herbert's

wholesale and retail establishments of records,
rolls and sheet music, who invariably have is-
sued special window strips and other advertis-
ing material on the number.
Another popular seller in the Feist catalog is
the Isham Jones song and dance success "I'll
See You in My Dreams." The fox-trot, "No
Wonder," has also proved a big novelty number.
Undoubtedly, later it will achieve additional
popularity in song form.
Most surprising returns are being had on the
ballad "I Had Some One Else -Before I Had
You" (And I'll Have Somebody Else After
You're Gone). This song in some respects is
really making itself, for wherever it is rendered
immediate sales are created without the usual
supplementary "plugs." Sales reports from all
over the country show that its popularity is
rapidly increasing.
Among the newer offerings that are also hav-
ing an active sale are "Let It Rain, Let It
l'our," "I'm So Ashamed" and "If Jt Wasn't
for You I Wouldn't Be Crying Now," as well
as the song and ballad success, "Will You Re-
member Me."
Among the better class popular numbers in
this same catalog that continue in popularity
are "Dear One" and "Honest and Truly," as
well as "Haunting Melody." Their favor is the
result not so much on current popularity as
upon musical merit and lyrical value.
The Feist catalog also contains some gems
from several shows. These include the music
from "Natja," the songs from "Kid Boots" and,
of course, the songs from "Blossom Time," in-
cluding the standard seller, "The Song of
Love."
