Kondas Number to Receive National Exploita-
tion Through the Cleveland News and NEA
Service
Through the Cleveland News and later
through the NEA Service, another song, of a
popular character, is being hooked up with a
newspaper serial romantic story. The song is
entitled "Honey Lou" and is inspired by
Beatrice Burton's latest serial. The lyric of
"Honey Lou" is by Gene Acres and music by
Herman Hummell. The song is published by
the Kondas Music Publishing Co., of Cleveland,
Ohio.
The Kondas Co. plans to exploit this offer-
ing on a national scale as it is understood that
hundreds of newspapers throughout the country
will use the serial story with which it is linked.
As the instalments of the story appear in the
local dailies a special campaign through the
orchestras and radio stations who will be given
orchestrations of "Honey Lou" is being ar-
ranged.

"He Knows His Groc'ries"
Makes Immediate Success
Edward B. Marks Number Stands Out in
Usual Run of Musical Comedy Compositions
Now Before the Buyers
In the past twelve months there has been
a heavy increase in the number of comedy
popular songs. Some of these achieve a quick
success, but none of them seem very long
lived. Due to their short life there must be
a very good reason for publishers venturing
into this type of number on the present scale
that has been attained.
Inquiry proves that the real reason for an
abundance of comedy numbers is the demand
of radio singers for this type of material. This
not only includes solo artists but the singing
orchestras, who feel the need of lending variety
to their radio programs.
Whatever the cause, there seemingly are more
numbers of this type than the public can con-
sume. Naturally the sale created cannot
compare with those offerings of a more sub-
stantial character. That there is need for the
comedy number, however, is certain, and
naturally writers will fill this want, not only
for the royalties that may be attained but in
order to serve the interests of artists and or-
chestras who show co-operation on the balance
of catalogs.
One of the newest of the comedy numbers
and one that has made a good showing in
the short time since its release is the Edward
B. Marks number, "He Knows His Groc'ries."
This is considered a remarkable piece of tom-
foolery. It is by two writers who have written
some big successes in the past, Louis Breau
and Billy Huston.
Of course, novelty numbers of this character
are helped considerably when they lend them-
selves to dance purposes. That is generally
the problem of the writer and arranger taking
a comedy success and making it available as
an outstanding dance. This done, there is a
little more than the usual assurance that it
will prove profitable.
"He Knows His Groc'ries" has been given
a lively fox-trot arrangement. It is the work
of Frank Skinner, who to-day is considered
one of the leaders in the arranging field. That
this song is not just another novelty or an-
other dance is verified from the fact that the
following prominent artists are singing it: Van
and Schenck, Eddie Cantor, Jones and Hare,
Klein's Shoemakers, Lewis and Dody, Jay Flip-
pen and others.
