Elaborate Presentation of
Pallma Number "Dawn"
Featured by Popular Symphony Orchestra in
Special Overture Number at Stanley Theatre,
Philadelphia
Among the many orchestras featuring
"Dawn," published by the Pallma Music Pub-
lishers, Inc., Chicago, is the Stanley Symphony
Orchestra of Philadelphia, one of the most
popular orchestras in the country, now playing
at the Stanley Theatre, one of the largest Phila-
delphia theatres.
The number, in both title and music, readily
lends itself to presentation purposes and was
featured by the Stanley Theatre in the follow-
ing manner: The overture was called "Dawn,"
and in presenting the Pallma number, which is
written by Fred R. Weaver, the principal move-
ments of the following well-known composi-
tions were used as an introduction to the song:
"Morning," by Greig, from the Peer Gynt Suite;
"Dawning," by Cadman; Friml's "Dawn";
"Dawn," by Nevin, and the last number, which
was the outstanding number of the overture,
presented with a special stage setting, was
"Dawn," by Fred R. Weaver, the Pallma pub-
lication.
Sidney Lowenstein, conductor of the Stanley
Symphony Orchestra, consisting of seventy-five
pieces, who worked up the special presentation,
is celebrating his fifth anniversary with the
Stanley Theatre. He has had wide experience
in presentation and synchronizing work, as he
has been associated with moving pictures for
more than seventeen years.
Mr. Lowenstein is credited with being the
first man to play in moving picture shows and
played with an orchestra in Philadelphia at
the Palace Theatre on Market street in 1909.
Previous to that he was with the Philadelphia
Symphony Orchestra and with the Hammer-
stein Opera Co., but visualizing the wonderful
possibilities of music with the moving pictures,
has remained in it ever since.

experience gives him unusual qualifications for
his entrance into the retail field and, together
with his popularity and personality, should
assure his new activities a bright future.
Three New Berlin
Numbers Are Announced
"I'm on My Way Home," a Mother Song;
"That's a Good Girl," a Novelty Number, and
"Because I Love You"
Irving Berlin, despite his long stay in Europe,
has lost none of his facility for writing pleasing
and successful popular songs. Three of these
Irving Berlin
were recently added to the catalog of Irving
Berlin, Inc., and at once they have been ac-
cepted everywhere with the result that a sub-
stantial sale, which is constantly gaining in size,
has been felt by the trade for these offerings.
The new songs are "I'm on My Way Home,"
quite an original mother song; a novelty num-
ber, entitled "That's a Good Girl," and a master-
piece love song, called "Because I Love You."
Naturally the organization of Irving Berlin,
Inc., is energetically behind these new Berlin
presentations. "Because I Love You" is along
the style of "Always" and "Remember" and
carries that same Berlin touch, a treatment that
has wide appeal. The mother song, "I'm on My
Way Home," is a departure from the usual style
of such offerings, but this will not be a deter-
rent to its wide acceptance.
The W. H. Gilbertson Music Co., Plymouth,
Pa., has issued a new ballad called "Abraham
Lincoln and His First Sweetheart, Ann Rut-
ledge." The lyrics are by Dr. W. H. Gilbertson
and the music by B. B. Beall. The number has
been heard on several programs in Pennsylvania.

Broadway Music Corp.
Begins Its Fall Campaign
Among New Numbers Are "Broken Hearted
Sue," "No One Knows but You How to
Love" and "Sing Katie"
The Broadway Music Corp. is starting its Fall
season with several important popular songs.
These numbers were all selected with unusual
care and were given preliminary try-outs and
passed these tests under most favorable impres-
sions. Will Von Tilzer, head of the Broadway
Music Corp., who is considered one of the best
pickers of songs in the popular field, was never
more enthusiastic on the possibilities than he is
on these present offerings.
Among them are "Broken Hearted Sue," a
melody that is quite hearty with a lyric of senti-
mental appeal. It is of the type that invariably
has a wide sale. There is also a jazzy dance
number called "No One Knows but You How
to Love," the novelty comedy number, "Sing
Katie," and a new little offering called "Short
an' Sweet." This latter number, by the way, is
already being sung by such artists as Adler,
Weil and Herman, Rae Samuels, Al K. Hall,
Ruth Roye, Jay C. Flippan, Cliff Edwards,
"Ukulele Ike," and other nationally known
artists.
The Broadway Music Corp. has arranged na-
tional campaigns on all these offerings covering
the entire country. It operates branches in
Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Detroit, Kansas
City, Denver, Los Angeles and Minneapolis.
Each of these offices has a personnel of several
singers.
