The Music Trade Review
Has Opened Offices in New York, San Francisco
and Detroit With Professional Offices in
Chicago
CHICAGO, III., February 18.—The Ted Browne
Music Co., Inc., is at present exploiting one
of the most successful catalogs it has ever had,
and one that is being accepted professionally
as well as by the sheet music buying public.
Both the numbers, "Our Bungalow of Dreams"
and "Yesterday," are among the best sellers
mechanically. The Ted Browne Music Co.,
Inc., is making rapid strides, and during the
past year has expanded in leaps until now il
has a complete organization covering practical-
ly every State. In addition to opening offices
in New York, San Francisco and Detroit in the
past year, this company has also opened pro-
fessional offices in Chicago, in the Woods Thea-
tre Building, here. The present catalog of the
firm also includes "Waltz of Love," "Oh Look
at That Baby," "I Must Be Dreaming," "Old-
Fashioned Locket," "I'm Drifting Back to
Dreamland," "The Whole World Is Waiting
for Dreams to Come True," "I Promise," "If
I Lost You" and "Why Do You Tell Me That
You Love Me?" In addition to the above popu-
lar songs the Ted Browne house is also ex-
ploiting its catalog of hot tunes, which com-
prise the Indigo Series, including "Deep Hen-
derson," "High Fever," "Ricketts," "Blue
Socks," "11.59 (Almost Midnight Moan)," "That
Low Down Dance," "Louder and Funnier" and
a number of others.
Loeser Sheet Music
Department Is Moved
A change was made this week in the location
of the sheet music department in the Frederick
Loeser & Co. store in Brooklyn, which was
moved from tlic position next to the small
goods counter to another part of the fourth
floor, adjoining the music roll and novelty de-
partments. Miss Amy Fredericks, who has had
charge of the Loeser sheet music division for
nearly fifteen years, is now assisted by several
clerks and is given the use of a grand piano
for trying over numbers. She carries a large
stock of standard music, including the complete
Schirmer Library, and has an ample selection
of late popular hits. Miss Fredericks states
that business is holding up fair, with a slightly
lessened demand from music teachers. On the
other hand, she reports that a great many
people are brought into the store to purchase
music which they have become struck with on
radio programs.
"Yale Blues" Rights
Bought by Leo Feist
American publication rights to the number
"Yale Blues," published in London by Francis,
Day & Hunter, Ltd., have been secured recently
by Leo Feist, Inc., New York, which is issuing
the song as a fox-trot. This number has be-
come a favorite with the Prince of Wales, and
it is related that at the most fashionable Quorn
Hunt Ball, which he attended not long ago, he
requested "Yale Blues" to be played six dif-
ferent times. E. F. Bitner, of Leo Feist, Inc.,
was in London in December and at that time
secured the American rights to the number.
R. S. Peer, Inc., Chartered
Ralph S. Peer, Inc., East Orange, N. J., has
been incorporated with twenty shares of com-
mon stock, no par, to engage in the sale of
sheet music. The incorporators are David Gold-
man and May Montag, of Brooklyn, and Gilbert
