Many New Numbers in
Black and White Series
Famous Edition of M. Witmark & Sons Has
Many Fine Compositions Added During the
Year
Any review of the sheet music business for
the past year would indeed be sadly incomplete
without reference to perhaps the most impor-
tant institution in America in its own particular
field, the Witmark Black and White Series.
Year after year, this collection of ballads and
melody songs, by America's best known com-
posers and lyric writers, continues to more than
justify the high hopes of its founders, until to-
day there is actually nothing in the music pub-
lishing world to compare it with. The dealer
knows that in handling the numbers of this
series he is giving the public not only what it
wants but what it is always wanting. They are
staples and have established themselves firmly
as such. Every year strengthens, not only the
catalog itself, but the hold it has obtained on
the song-loving public. This is due in large
measure to the fact that behind the leading suc-
cesses of the Witmark Black and White Series
is a constant publicity campaign conducted by

its publishers. This campaign is of interest to
dealers as in proportion to the increased num-
ber of singers and vocal teachers who become
adherents to the Witmark Black and White
Series the sales of the old and additional num-
bers increase.
The past year has seen the addition of some
very attractive new material to both the sacred
and secular divisions of the Witmark Black and
White Series. Also the sales of the older es-
tablished favorites have steadilv mounted.

"Kiss Me Again," "Mother Machree," "Smilin'
Through," "Gypsy Love Song," "My Wild Irish
Rose," and "Sunrise and You" are among the
many that have had wide activity. Of the newer
things DSVid Guion's "Howdy Do Mis' Spring-
time," Ernest R. Ball's "My Hour" and Arthur
A. Penn's "When the Sun Goes Down" and
"Nobody Else" are among the outstanding ad-
ditions. "Nobody Else" is proving the best
thing Arthur A. Penn has done since "Smilin'

Well-known Composer and Publisher Writes
for Saturday Evening Post and Will Appear
on Keith Circuit
Charles K. Harris, who is both a pioneer and
a current writer of ballad song hits, is going
to have a very active 1926. For the past sev-
eral months he has been making frequent radio
appearances and the result is that not only
his old ballads but his newer ones are having a
wide sale. The first of a series of seven ar-
ticles by Mr. Harris will appear in the Satur-
day Evening Post issue of December 19, under
the caption "After the Ball, Forty Years of
Melody," and shortly after the first of the year
he is to appear on the Keith-Albee and Orpheum
vaudeville circuit.
In both the story and on his vaudeville tour
all of the old Harris songs will be sung.
