THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
Ponce Sisters Making
Talking Machine Records
Ethel and Dorothea, Daughters of Phil Ponce,
Well-known Music Publisher, Broadcasting
Over Station W E A F
The two daughters of Phil Ponce, the music
publisher, have in a few short weeks made a
name for themselves through radio and talking
machine records. The girls are Ethel and Dor-
othea, and are billed under the name Ponce
Among the songs these two youthful artists
have sung, and in some instances recorded, with
unusual success are: Irving Berlin's "Remem-
ber," "That Certain Party," "Forever," "Then
I'll Be Happy," "What Could Be Sweeter,"
"Let's Wander," "My Sweetie Turned Me
Down," "My Jane," ."Happy-go-Lucky," "Want
a Little Lovin' " and "Ukulele Daly."
"No Spinsterhood for Me"
Announced by NEA Service
Number to Be Exploited in Conjunction With
700 Newspapers in All Sections of Country
The Ponce Sisters
Sisters. They made their first appearance over
station W E A F , following which practically all
of the leading talking machine record companies
made bids for their services and hailed them as
a "harmony find."
Both of the girls are gifted with unusual mu-
sical talent. Ethel being the recipient of a dia-
mond medal at a recent commencement for
piano excellence. Dorothea plays the violin.
The blending of their voices, however, in har-
mony, is responsible for the tremendous suc-
cess they have achieved. They are to continue
as regular artists over station W E A F and their
harmony records will shortly make their appear-
ance in several of the leading catalogs. Both
of the Ponce sisters are continuing studies and
they are probably the youngest of the important
public artists.
NEA Service, Inc., in collaboration with
its 700 newspaper clients throughout the
country, is offering direct to the trade a new
song called "No Spinsterhood for Me," which is
to be exploited in conjunction with the serial
story, "Spinsterhood."
This is the third of a series of songs spon-
sored by NEA Service, the former two proving
exceptional hits. Both of these were published
by the Sam Fox Publishing Co., of Cleveland,
O., namely, "Footloose" and "The Flapper
Wife." The newest number will be handled di-
rectly by NEA Service.
"No Spinsterhood for Me" has music by Caro-
line MacLean, with lyrics by Hal Cochran,
both NEA Service writers. Under the present
plans, the editors who compose the chain of
700 newspapers will deal directly with local
music dealers for distribution, hook-ups, co-op-
eration, etc. A complete advertising promotion
campaign will be carried out by the papers in
every locality where the NEA Service story,
"Spinsterhood," appears. There will be much
advertising material, both window display and
outdoor, available.
"No Spinsterhood for Me" has been arranged
so that it may be played in fox-trot, two-step
or polka time. It thus lends itself to various
methods of exploitation. Under present plans,
it is proposed that old-time dance revivals such
as those now being sponsored by Henry Ford
through his dancing school at Dearborn, Mich.,
be carried out by NEA editors in their localities.
"No Spinsterhood for Me" will be released on
music rolls and records at a simultaneous re-
lease date.

her new book, "How Music Grew," written in
collaboration with Ethal Peyser, off the Put-

This gave Miss Bauer the opportunity also to
hear her second sonata, written last Spring in
Paris, receive its first hearing at the opening
musicale of the League of Composers. While
abroad Miss Bauer will devote her time entirely
to writing music in the larger form, finishing
her string quartet, of which two movements are
already completed. In Paris she will give a
series of lectures before a leading school.
