Irving Berlin, Inc., Announces the
Publication of Its Dance Folio No. 10
Large Number of Firm's Latest Hits Contained in the New Volume, but Without the Words of
the Songs—Will Be Placed on Sale on October 25
I R V I N G BERLIN, INC., has just announced
*• its No. 10 Universal Dance Folio. This is a
special release for the season of 1926. It con-
tains thirty-one dance numbers arranged as fox-
trots, waltzes and blues and includes some of
the most popular hits of the past season, such as
"Yearning," "When You and I Were Seven-
teen," "All Alone," "Sonya," "So That's the
Kind of a Girl You Are" and "Waiting for the
Moon."
This new folio has been arranged for release
so it can be placed on sale on October 25. The
publishers plan an extensive campaign for the
purpose of stimulating its sales with the con-
sumer as well as with the trade. There will be
special display title pages, window hangers and
similar publicity material to attract attention.
The Berlin catalog has never been in a more
healthy shape than during the past few months.
Among its publications were some of the heav-
iest sellers of the Summer and early Fall sea-
son and the presentation of these in instrumental
folio form at this time should create a wide
sale and make for more activity in the retail
music establishments.
Many of the numbers that appear in the folio
are still active and for that reason the pianists
purchasing the No. 10 Berlin folio make an ex-
ceptionally good buy. Inasmuch as no words
accompany the dance publication there should
be little or no effect in its release on the sales of
the sheet music of these numbers. Probably
the greater part of dance folios sold are to those
who use them in photoplay houses and other
places of public rendition. Naturally, the adept
pianist buys it also for home use. The lovers,
however, of such publications in song form will
not, of course, find the instrumental selections
in the folio complete enough for their purposes.
With the widespread publicity given this new
publication by the Berlin organization through
its sales department and by its various branch
offices and sales representatives throughout the
country and with the aid of the special advertis-
ing material, the demand should be most active
for the next few months.
says, he has just learned that this modest, un-
assuming little accompanist is about the most

Wyrick to Appear in
Optimist Clubs' Concert
Event Is for the Benefit of Boys Who Lack
Opportunity for Better Education—A Coun-
try-wide Movement
CHICAGO, I I I . , October 17.—Ambrose Wyrick,
head of the Wyrick Music Publishers, 64 E.
Jackson boulevard, has been engaged by the
Optimist Clubs of the Chicago district for a
concert to be given in Orchestra Hall the eve-
ning of November 10.
The purpose of this concert is to raise a fund
to promote the work of the club among the
underprivileged boys, a project that the Optimist
Clubs throughout the country have pledged
themselves to support.
The underprivileged boys are those who have
never enjoyed the pleasant surroundings of a
home nor had the opportunity that schooling
affords. It is the purpose of the Optimist Clubs
to use the money raised through this and other
concerts to be given by Mr. Wyrick to help
these boys and make it possible for them to
