H. A. Mills, of Harrisburg, Pa., has leased

t«T ISTENING," one of the successful songs
"^from this season's Irving Berlin's "Music
Box Revue," has been released from that
show by the publishers, Irving Berlin, Inc., and
will now be heard in vaudeville and other places
of public rendition.
Simultaneously with the placing of this mu-
sical comedy number on the open list for per-
formers, Irving Berlin, Inc., has arranged a na-
tional campaign featuring this song. The pro-

well as all its representatives are to take part
in arranging this publicity and sales drive.
The talking machine record companies, the player
roll manufacturers and their distributors, as
well as sheet music distributors and dealers, are
also going to co-operate in this widespread cam-
paign. It is proposed to make "Listening" the
most sung and played of popular numbers dur-
ing the period. Vaudeville performers in thea-
tres and all parts of the country will sing
the song. Dance orchestras will frequently pro-
gram it. Cabarets, photoplay houses and the
regular theatre orchestras will also make it a
feature.
Extra title pages, window strips, and much
other advertising material will be used by deal-
ers in all branches of the music industry in
co-operation with the publishers, and "Listen-
ing" will be called to the attention of every
music purchaser.
A special appropriation has been made for
this extensive sales and publicity drive and the
Berlin organization plans t o extend itself in
making this number a big Spring success. "Lis-
tening" will be featured as the successor and
follow-up song to Berlin's "All Alone," and
there is good basis for this arrangement as
"Listening" is a number of the same character
and should rival its predecessor in popularity.
