"Love Bound" to Be
Issued by Sam Fox
New Number by Harry D. Kerr and Carl Ruppo
to Be Backed by a Big Publicity Campaign
The Sam Fox Publishing Co., of Cleveland
and New York, has just made a pre-New Year's
announcement of a new song called "Love
Bound." This publication is now on the press

and the trade has been notified that copies
will be available shortly after the first of the
year.
This seemingly is one of the most important
additions in the song line made to the Sam Fox
catalog in several seasons. Sam Fox himself
made a trip to New York and is spending
several weeks lining up mechanical reproduction
companies, vaudeville
performers,
concert
artists and other publicity channels in an ar-
rangement for an exploitation drive on an in-
tensive scale.
The Fox organization looks for "Love Bound"
to have a spontaneous appeal and is most en-
thusiastic over its possibilities. The number
has words by Harry D. Kerr and music by Carl
Ruppo, both well-known writers who have been
responsible for successes of the past. "Love
Bound" is a fox-trot song which adapts itself
readily to a beautiful ballad rendition. The
arrangements and orchestrations are by J. S.
Zamecnik.
The Fox organization expects "Love Bound"
to take its place alongside of such successes as
"Nola," "Indian Dawn," "Neapolitan Nights,"
"Footloose" and other Fox successes.

"Don't Wake Me Up" (Let Me Dream), one
of the newer numbers added to the catalog of
Leo Feist, Inc., has already made itself an im-
portant addition to that firm's publications. In
the coming weeks its popularity should increase.
Of the other new numbers appearing in the
Leo Feist catalog "I'm Sitting on Top of the
World" and "Sleepy Time Gal" are already
acknowledged national successes. Despite the
fact that we are in the holiday period both of
these numbers are having an increasingly large
sale.
Among the other new numbers added to the
Feist catalog which are already acknowledged
successes are "Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue"
(Has Anybody Seen My Gal) and "When I

Henry W. Hart Succeeds
J. L. Bratton With Schirmer
Widely Known Music Publicity Man to Direct
Publicity Work of Well-known Publisher
Henry W. Hart has been appointed the suc-
cessor of John Lilley Bratton in the advertis-
ing department of G. Schirmer, Inc. Mr. Brat-
ton, as announced in these columns last week,
becomes American manager of Evans Bros.,
London publishers.
Henry W. Hart is known to many members
of the trade and to all of those in the metro-
politan area where his business life has been
spent in publicity work for the music industry.
Probably his most important activity in behalf
of music propaganda was the opening under
his direction of the first "music in the home"
page, which appeared in the New York Evening
Mail, April, 1916, and which was the forerunner
of many similar music departments in daily
publications throughout the United States and
Canada.
Mr. Hart was the originator of "home music
clubs," "noon hour concerts" and similar con-
structive activities. At one time he was asso-
ciate editor with the Oliver Ditson Co., and
was an executive member of the advertising
division of Aeolian Co., as well as former adver-
tising manager for Hardman, Peck & Co.
His experience covers both the artistic and
commercial phases of music, in each branch of
which he has carried out activities that have
given him an important place.
He knows the industry in all of its branches
as he has been a part of it. In publicity work
in the cause of music he certainly is the peer
of all who have taken part in such activities.
There is not the least doubt that as a member
of the Schirmer organization, which covers so
many fields of publication activities, his efforts
and energies in behalf of the music trade
in general and music dealers in particular will
be an important factor. None is better quali-
fied and he enters his new sphere with an out-
look and enthusiasm which should produce con-
structive and permanent contributions for the
general health of Schirmer and the publishing
business.
Two New Numbers From
Oliver Ditson's Catalog
"Lonesome Moonlight" by Lily Strickland and
"Dream Clouds" by Shure Firm's Latest
Issues
The Oliver Ditson Co. recently issued a de-
lighful Negro dialect song entitled "Lonesome
Moonlight," words and music by Lily Strick-
land. The number is issued for high and me-
dium voices. It is described as a high-class blue
number which should appeal to singers who can
interpret dialect songs of this class.
Another new song in the Ditson catalog is a
charming ballad with melodic touches entitled
"Dream Clouds," the words and music of which
are by R. Deane Shure. The Musical Courier,
in reviewing this number, said: "To a poem of
his own, 'Dream Clouds,' Mr. Shure has set a
graceful and catchy tune, supported by an ac-
companiment of orginal design which adds to
its charm. A very effective ballad."
Irving Mills in West
Irving Mills, vice-president of Jack Mills, Inc.,
is taking part in a mid-West campaign for his
concern, making his headquarters in the Woods
Theatre Building of Chicago. Murray Bloom,
manager of the Chicago office of Jack Mills,
Inc., is also actively engaged in this work.
