Song of "West Point"
"With Flags Aloft" Incorporated in Cue Sheet
of New Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Film
Considerable interest in the musical score of
the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film, "West Point,"
lias been created since the picture was first
shown recently, particularly in the stirring
march tune, "With Flags Aloft" (Spirit of West
J'oint). This number, published by the Ed. B.
Marks Music Co., New York, is the work of
Herman Heller, composer and musical director,
and Jos. B. Strauss, whose lyrics have been
highly praised. Mr. Strauss, an engineer, who
has considerable dealing with army officials,
also has a son at the Academy, and he has
been able to grasp both accurately and con-
vincingly the spirit of the corps.
When "West Point" was completed it was
immediately decided to utilize "With Flags
Aloft," and the march was played during the
first, showing at the Capitol, New York. It has
been incorporated in the cue sheet, and is to
be heard at all the hundreds of theatres that
have booked this film. On the strength of this
plug and the general worth of the song the
Marks firm has issued orchestra and band ar-
rangements and expects to make it one of the
most popular marches of the present decade.

the ready salability of both numbers whenever
tried out on dealers' counters. Both songs
are fox-trots, and are often sung as love bal-
lads as well. In view of recent radio publicity,

been released by the publishers and are in de-

York State and in New England.
Witmark Presents Large
Popular Number Catalog
Special Emphasis Placed on Melody in Dance
Numbers Which Are Taking an Immediate
Hold
An exceptionally large popular catalog is be-
ing presented this season by M. Witmark &
Sons, New York, and the firm is endeavoring
to secure dance numbers with emphasis on
melody just as it does in its Black and White
series. The success which the house is having
in the popular field is also due to a considerable
extent to the quality of its arrangements by
such well-known dance arrangers as Frank
Skinner, Louis Katzman and Joseph Nussbaum.
Of course, the fox-trots lead in favor and num-
ber, but some remarkable results are being ob-
tained by the Witmark firm with several of its
popular waltzes.
Victor Herbert's "Ah, Sweet Melody of Life"
is a leader in the field of waltz ballads, and
gives every indication of reaching the same
stage of popularity as the same composer's
"Kiss Me Again" and "Gypsy Love Song," be-
ing heard everywhere with an increasing popu-
lar demand for it in sheet music. The other
big successes on the Witmark dance list in-
clue "I'm Away From the World When I'm
Away From You" and "There's Always a Way
to Remember," both by Lew Pollack; "Like
the Wandering Minstrel," "Molly Malone,"
"Roses Understand," "Mamma's Little Baby,"
by Joe Schuster and Johnny Tucker; "Mammy's
Little Kinky Headed Boy," by George Trin-
kaus; "Stepping on the Ivories" and "When
the Moon Is Out," two fox-trots, by John Mc-
Laughlin; "Watching the World Go By," by
Ernest R. Ball, and "At the End of an Irish
Moonbeam," fox-trot, by Ernie Golden, and
several other popular dance numbers.
