Lewis Frederick Stafford & Co., Syracuse,
N. Y., have issued three new songs which are
now being presented to the trade following an
introduction in vaudeville and dance channels.
The most popular of these is called "Why Sing
About Bananas" (When We've Peaches Every-
where) followed by a ballad called "Mother,
Your Boy Is Coming Home" and an offering of
the better class called "Thoughts." The com'
pany plans a further and wider exploitation pro-
gram on these offerings with particular em-
phasis on the popularity and sales development
of "Why Sing About Bananas" (When We've
Peaches Everywhere).
"They Met On a Twig of a Chestnut Tree" and
"We Strolled Along." "Mariquita" is a new
two-part song for women's voices and "As My
Dear Old Mother" is a four-part song for wom-
en's voices with alto solo arranged by G. War-
ing Stebbins from Antonin Dvorak.
Asks an Investigation
WASHINGTON, D. C, September 26.—Representa-
tive MacGregor, of the Buffalo district, New
York, proposes to bring before the next session
of Congress a plea that a committee be ap-
pointed to investigate the practices of the Amer-
ican Society of Composers, Authors and Pub-
lishers, and the methods it pursues in exercis-
ing its copyright rights and its exaction of li-
cense fees.
New Von Tilzer Numbers
The Harry Von Tilzer Music Publishing Co.
has what is believed to be two of the biggest
successes issued by it in years. The songs are
"Just Around the Corner" and "I Want My
Rib."
That both songs are good is demon-
strated through the fact that many of the leading
vaudeville stars are programming them. Such
artists as Ted Lewis, Van and Schenck, Wade
Booth, Mable McKinley, Healy and Cross and
numerous others are featuring these big suc-
cesses.
