New Donaldson Songs
All New Numbers Released on June 29—Chica-
go Offices Opened by Donaldson, Douglas
& Gumble, Inc
Perhaps the biggest event pertaining to the
new publishing tirm of Donaldson, Douglas &
Gumble, Inc., New York, since its formation
about a month ago, was the simultaneous an-
nouncement by the principal mechanical com-
panies on June 29 of the new releases of the
firm's eight numbers. These numbers, all of
which were written by Walter Donaldson, who
heads the firm, are now in the leading orches-
tras' repertories. Among the artists and or-
chestras making the initial releases for various
companies are the following: Paul Whiteman
and his orchestra, Ruth Etting, Ukulele Ike,
Ben Bernie and his orchestra, Gene Austin,
George Olsen and his orchestra, Jesse Craw-
ford, Johnnie Hanft and many others of equal
prominence.
Mose Gumble, who is associated with Walter
Donaldson and Walter Douglas in the new
publishing firm, returned recently from a short
trip to Chicago, where he organized Middle
Western headquarters in the Woods Theatre
Building, with Willie Horowitz, formerly of
Waterson, Berlin & Snyder, in charge. Mr.
Gumble also appointed Dick Powers, formerly
with Sherman, Clay & Co., to represent the
company in San Francisco.
Walter Douglas, general manager of the firm
in New York, announced this week that Mort
Beck has been appointed sales manager for the
house. Mr. Beck, who has been identified with
the music publishing business for many years,

has already started on a trip to the Coast in the
interest of the eight Donaldson numbers.
Mr. Douglas also stated that no new releases
are contemplated by the firm until the Fall,
as the numbers supply a strong, complete cata-
log with songs of every mood. The showing
of the catalog both professionally and in the
trade warrants further working on these eight
songs with no additions for the present.
The titles of the songs are as follows: "Just
Like a Melody Out of the Sky," "Because My
Baby Don't Mean Maybe Now," "Out-of-Town
Gal," "In a Bamboo Garden," " 'Cause I'm in
Love" "Little Miss Okeechobee, Oh! Be Mine,"
"When You Said Good-Night (Did You Really
Mean Good-Bye)" and "Anything You Say."

With the echoes of the Democratic conven-
tion at Houston still in the air the Broadway
Music Corp., New York, is losing no time in
starting to work on its campaign song, "He's
Our Al," inspired by and dedicated to Governor
Alfred E. Smith. More important than that
the song has begun to win many professional
admirers on its own account. Among them is
Johnny O'Connor, master of ceremonies at
Young's Restaurant and also identified with
Station WJZ, New York, who is singing "He's
Our Al" nightly with great success, taking two
or three encores at each performance.
Al Lynn and his orchestra at King's Tea
Garden, Brooklyn, is playing the song daily,
broadcasting several times a week from Station
WABC. Another orchestra, broadcasting the
number over this station, is Harold Stern's
Orchestra of the Belle Claire Roof Garden, and
Mr. Stern reports many requests for "He's Our
Al" both in the restaurant and from radio lis-
teners. At Arcola Amusement Park, in New
Jersey, Archie Slater is doing the song regu-
larly, broadcasting over Station WODA, Pat-
erson. Will Von Tilzer, head of the Broadway
Music Corp., stated this week that the number
is virtually dictating its own future and looks
very big.

the song were by Mrs. Charles E. Hines and
the music by Daniel H. Wilson, secretary of
