"Muddy Water" Wins
Wide Popularity
Combination Blues-Spiritual Number of Broad-
way Music Corp. Being Played From Coast
to Coast
"Mmldy Water," that combination blues-
one section of the country as it is fast winning
a position on music counters everywhere. De-
spite the fact that the Broadway Music Corp.,
the publisher of "Muddy Water," has endeavor-
ed to introduce it with an intensive campaign
without, however, the spectacular features that
accompany the drives on most popular successes,
the song has made greater headway than an-
ticipated.
From all parts of the country the orders for
"Muddy Water" show daily increases. Another
indication of the approval "Muddy Water" is
winning everywhere is indicated by the demands
of orchestra leaders. Orchestrations which were
<>iily recently issued are shipped to the
best orchestras on request and this has led to
the arrangements getting into the hands of the
better type orchestras and those who have been
previously sold on the number. An example
if this was the recent telegram the Broadway
Music Corp. received from Philip Spitalny, who
directs a well-known orchestra in a Cleveland
photoplay house, which read: "Rush orchestra-
tion and copy 'Muddy Water' air mail to fea-
ture next week." Another orchestra leader,
Fletcher Henderson, who recently returned
from Detroit, states that "Muddy Water" is the
talk of the town.

Gamble-Hinged Features
New Number in Display
"All Nature Sings of Thee" Basis of Window
Display That Attracted Wide Attention
CHICAGO, JI.L., March 9. "All Nature Sings <>f
Thee," the new song recently published by the
Gamble-Hinged Music Co., was featured in an
artistic window display recently. This firm has
been noted for distinctive window trims and the
display caused crowds to gather ;m
to W. A. Quincke & Co.
Pacific Coast Music House Organ Tells of Best
Sellers in That Section
W. A. Quincke & Co., the standard publishing
house of Los Angeles, Cal., occasionally prints
a house organ carrying the title Things Worth
Knowing. This, besides presenting in an in-
teresting and constructive form the various
Quincke prints, is filled with interesting news
matter appealing to music merchants and also
carries some philosophical paragraphs.
Credit should also be given to this house
publication for the fact that it carries a list of
best sellers and these are selected from all of
the popular publishers' catalogs.
The list, which is reproduced below without
order of importance, is of further interest as
it gives a view of January Pacific Coast sales ac-
tivities. The songs are "Idolizing," "In a Little
Spanish Town," "Me, Too," "When Twilight
Comes," "Bye Bye, Blackbird," "Lullaby Moon,"
"Hello, Aloha," "Barcelona," "How Many
Times?" "Baby Face," "Lay My Head Beneath
a Rose," "The Prisoner's Song," "Drifting
Along," "Mexicali Rose," "Mary Lou," "Hello,
Bluebird," "Proud," "Moonlight on the Ganges,"
"Neapolitan Nights," "Regular Fellows," "Al-
ways," "Wonderful Dreams," "Butterflies," a
piano novelty; "Hi Diddle Diddle," "Most of
All I Want You," "Moonlight Melody," for the
piano, and "Lonely Eyes."
$1,000 Cantata Prize
The Society of the Friends of Music, through
the generosity of one of its directors, A. F.
Seligsberg, announces the offering of a prize of
$1,000 for a cantata, the composition to be
either secular or religious. The competition is
open to all composers living in the United
States. The full details of the contest will be
announced later through the manager of the
society, Richard Copley, of 10 East Forty-third
street.
Featuring "All Nature Sings of Thee"
on the new song which has already enjoyed
wide popularity.
It is written by two writers with well-known
reputation, Albert Sweet, and (i. K. Holmes. It
carries a beautiful title page in four colors,
showing a landscape in panel effects. As the
title page itself lent an artistic appearance to the
display, effectiveness was accomplished in plac-
ing- the copies on small stands as well as sus-
pending them from side draperies. There are
just enough copies to lend attractiveness and
not give a crowded effect. A large card with
the writers' pictures was in the center of the
display. "All Nature Sings of Thee" is being
featured by several well-known artists including
Lewis Meehan tenor of K Y W.
"Ask Me Another"—Marks
The Edward B. Marks Music Co. has taken
over the distribution for the novelty book "Ask
Me Another," published by Viking Press, New
York. The Marks firm is already the selling
agent for "Book of American Negro Spirituals,"
from the same press. It is the belief of the
Marks Co. that a fast-selling book of novel
character can be distributed through the music
trade.
