In 1923 Adelaide and Hughes, Florence Wal-
trot with dance orchestras, theatres and in pho-
toplay houses during the past season and also ton and Maurice and Lenora Hughes took up
a? a solo number by concert artists and in other "Nola" as a special feature dance number. This
brought further popularity to this offering.
Bill Baker used it in the Music Box Revue for
a full season. George Carey, xylophone soloist
of Sousa's band, and the popular pianists, Roy
Bargy, Frank Banta, Joseph Daily, as well as
Frederick Fradkin, the solo violinist, played the
number with unusual success. The latter also
recorded the number with his own original ar-
rangement for Brunswick records. Jascha
Gurewich, the saxophone virtuoso, has pro-
claimed this number the greatest instrumental
novelty ever written and many other outstand-
ing artists seem to have a similar opinion.
The publisher is firmly of the belief that
"Nola" has not reached its peak and is antic-
ipating that before the year is over the demand
and sales for this charming composition will
have increased double to what they are at the
present time.
