One of Mr. Trinkaus' compositions, "Mam-
he has been associated in the capacity of corn-
my's Little Kinky-Headed Hoy," stands out
as an ever-increasing success. This delightful
little number was sung recently by the Silver
Masked tenor over a hook-up of eighty-seven
stations, and the use of the song by this artist
on his air and concert programs is partly re-
sponsible for the renewed popular interest in
it. He has recorded the number as well as
another Trinkaus favorite, "Bells of Killarney,"
for the Victor company. "Maureen Mavour-
nccn," also by Mr. Trinkaus, is being popular-
ized by William Robyn of the Capitol Theatre
and also by Raphael D'az in the Atwater Kent
radio hour. The composer has written dozens
of other melodious ballads and is constantly
adding new works for orchestra to his large
collection.

The speed with which "My I Hue Heaven"
has jumped into the top-notch class as a big
seller practically sets a new record in the offices
of Leo Feist, Inc., New York. The most con-
vincing proof of the widespread demand for
the number is in the fact that telegrams re-
questing rush are being received by the dozens
daily. Dealers have felt the "hit" quality of
the number and are featuring it in their local
advertising. J. W. Jenkins' Sons Music Co.,
operating four stores in Kansas City, for in-
stance, built up a small advertisement lately
using the caption, "Blue Heaven—The Song
That Has Taken the Country by Storm," with
no reference to any other song or item of
musical merchandise.

of the Broadway Music Corp., New York,

of the song for a singing trio is borne out by
the fact that three celebrated Chicago dance
orchestras are now using it nightly with this
arrangement. They are Jack Richards and his
orchestra, playing- in the Mary Garden; Charles
