Special Dance Presentation
A special dance presentation of the instru-
mental novelty, "Polly," at William Fox's The-
atre, Washington, D. C , was devised recently
by Alexander Oumansky, ballet director, and
was executed by the ballet corps of the theatre.
The waltz ballad, "You'd Rather Forget Than
Forgive," written by Joe Davis and Howard
Johnson, and published by the Triangle Music
Co., New York, lias not only been successful
in sheet music sales but has been recorded 100
per cent mechanically. Joe White, the "Silver
Masked Tenor," made the record on Victor;
Art Gilliam, the "Whispering Pianist," recorded
it for Columbia; Jot: Green's Marimba Or-

"Skyscrapers" Triumphs
in Foreign Production
John Alden Carpenter's Ballet Outstanding Suc-
cess at the National Theatre, Munich, Ger-
many
Executives of G. Schirmer, Inc., New York,
have been elated over the European success
of John Alden Carpenter's ballet, "Skyscrapers,"
which was performed abroad for the first time
a few weeks ago at the National Theatre in
Munich, Germany. The production was very
well received by the public and the press. The
composer, who had been invited by the man-
agement to assist in the preparation of the
work, was obliged to respond to four curtain
calls by a capacity audience. The general basic
outline of Robert Edmond Jones' setting for the
Metropolitan Opera performance in 1926 and
1927 was followed, but with ingenious varia-
tions, especially in the Coney Island scenes.
John Alden Carpenter unquestionably stands in
the first rank of living American composers.
The success of the experiment with "Skyscrap-
ers" on the part of the world-famous National
Theatre at Munich has added to his prestige
and cannot fail to encourage all those inter-
ested in the progress of American musical art
abroad.
The New Numbers in
Sherman-Clay Catalog
Several new numbers have been added to the
catalog of Sherman, Clay & Co., San Francisco,
Cal., recently, and are beginning to show up in
a large way. "Rag Doll," an instrumental num-
ber by Nacio Herb Brown, writer of "Doll
Dance," is showing up well for both orchestra
and piano solo. Another number of this type is
"Kiddie Capers." Katherine Allen Lively, a com-
THE NEW BALLAD SENSATION
Through the co-operation of Jack Stebbins,
managing director of the theatre, and Leon
Brusiloff, director of the Fox Symphony Or-
chestra, the specialty proved an artistic success
and captivated the large audiences during the
course of the week. Executives of the Sam
Fox Publishing Co., New York and Cleveland,
were elated over the fact that Alexander
Oumansky, who was the originator of the
"Nola" presentation at the Capitol Theatre,
New York, was also the first to select "Polly,"
the successor to "Nola" in the Fox catalog, for
a novelty silhouette.
chestra on Brunswick; Richard Green for Vocal-
ion; Joe Davis, himself, on Harmony; Carolina
Club Orchestra on Perfect; Golden Gate Or-
chestra on Cameo; Jack Parker on Edison, and
Irving Kaufman on Banner. In addition the
song has been recorded two ways on Okeh
records,—Segar Ellis making the vocal record-
ing and Sam Lanin and his orchestra record-
ing it for dance.
