"Charleston" on the Coast
Popularity of "Charleston" type of numbers
in Eastern territory has not been duplicated in
the Middle West. The Pacific Coast, however,
is showing inclinations of favoring this type
of melody. Tune-House, Inc., 1547 Broadway,
New York, publishers of "It's Too Bad Jim,"
carrying a Charleston rhythm, has found an
active demand for this number in Pacific Coast
territories.
"I Knew" a Hit
Over 300 letters have been received the past
week from high-class singers, both male and
female, who are singing Charles K. Harris' lat-
est barcarolle, "I Knew," who claims it to be
one of the most novel and unique songs written
in a decade.
A list of the prominent singers now using
this song is to be published shortly.
