George Gershwin Records
Selections for Columbia
Noted Young Composer of "Rhapsody in Blue"
and Other So-called Jazz Compositions
Makes Records of "Oh, Kay!" Hits
George Gershwin, noted young composer of
so-called "jazz" music, has recorded several of
his latest hits for the Columbia Phonograph
Co. These recordings include "Clap Yo' Hands"
and "Do-Do-Do," the outstanding numbers
many musical comedies have been written by
him, including "La La Lucille," "Tip Toes" and
"Lady, Be Good."
The work which brought George Gershwin
most prominently into the public eye was his
"Rhapsody in Blue," a composition which is
even more remarkable when it is recalled that
it was written in ten days. In 1925 Gershwin
played his "Concerto in D" with the New York
Symphony, Walter Damrosch conducting, at
Carnegie Hall.

from "Oh, Kay!", Gershwin's own brilliant
musical show, which is going over big on
Broadway.
George Gershwin is but twenty-seven years
old and knew nothing about music until he
was thirteen. It was not until he left high
school that he became tied up in his musical
work. At that time he began to play accom-
paniments for vaudeville acts and in cafes and
night clubs. The first song hit that Gershwin
composed was "When I Was So Young and
You Were So Beautiful," sung in "Good Morn-
ing, Judge," in 1917. Since then the scores of
neapolis branch of Raudenbush & Sons, which
for the past few weeks has been carried on by
W. R. Raudenbush, Sr., is being discontinued.
A. G. Hoye is the salesman in charge until the
store is closed. The Hanley Piano Co. has
taken over the phonograph and record stock
and will eventually have the Krakauer agency
here.
B. T. Smith, formerly with the Raudenbush
Co., has brought his talents to the Hanley
sales force. Webb R. Raudenbush continues
to manage the Duluth branch of the firm.
The Foster & Waldo Co., who started Nicol-
let avenue by opening one of the largest radio
stores in the country in its old building, is
reaping the rewards of courage and business
sense. It carries ten of the best-known makes
of radio goods and is doing a fine holiday busi-
ness.
The new store continues to be filled with
patrons of the other musical lines which Foster
& Waldo carry here—pianos, phonographs and
music merchandise.

WASHINGTON, I). C, December 20.—Improved
machinery for the registration and protection of
trade-marks is sought by Senator Shipstead, of
Minnesota, in a bill introduced by -him De-
cember 14.
Protection for twenty years would be granted
marks registered under the bill, the registration
fee being placed at $10, and, for a similar fee,
such registration may be extended also to the
foreign countries signatory to the Buenos Aires
agreement of 1910. Registration of a trade-
mark is to be indicated on the article to which
it applies by the expression "Registered in U. S.
Patent Office," or "Reg. U. S. Pat Off.," or by
the letter "R" in a circle. The use of such terms
in connection with unregistered trade-marks
would be illegal, and the importation of mer-
chandise bearing a registered trade-mark of an
American manufacturer without his consent
would be prohibited.
The measure provides that the same trade-
mark may be used by two or more claimants,
by agreement, each having exclusive use of the
mark in such limited territory or commerce as
may be agreed upon mutually.
