"Happy Ending" Gaining
Popularity in West
A telegram was received this week by Will
Von Tilzer, head of the Broadway Music Co.,
New York, from Ed Lowry, master of
ceremonies at the Ambassador Theatre, St.
Louis, Mo., with respect to the song "A Happy
Ending." This number is one of the new crop
of songs written by Albert Von Tilzer and A.
Seymour Brown and published by the Broad-
way firm. The telegram was as follows:
"Happy Ending running five and six encores
every show. Am delighted with it." Mr. Von
Tilzer states that sheet music sales of this
melodious number have been boosted recently
in various sections of the country due to
voluntary plugging of the song by enthusiastic
professionals. The waltz, "Dear, When I Met
You," by the same writers, is taking on well
also as the result of several nation-wide hook-
ups using the number.

John C. Bostelman, Jr., who had brought with
him from New York his "Visuola," which, it
was voted at the last dinner, should be given
a demonstration at some future time; and this
was the occasion. Also as guests were Bliss
W. Wiant, who is connected with the new
Pekin university at Pekin, China; and Grant
Schaffer, the composer, both of whom gave
brief talks following the dinner.
Mr. Bostelman's demonstration
of the
"Visuola" and his subsequent explanation and
statements occupied more than an hour and
he was bombarded with any number of ques-
tions, for the assemblage seemed disposed to
get a, really intelligent viewpoint of this at-
tachment which is undoubtedly such a help to
young beginners on the piano. Mr. Bostelman,
who gives his entire time to exploiting this
device, possesses an enormous fund of informa-
tion and so interested was his audience that it
was after ten before the members and their
guests dispersed. The attendance was unusually
large.

New Allert and Turk Song
Gets Quick Action
Fred Allert and Roy Turk recently placed a
composition called "I'll Never Ask For More"
with De Sylva, Brown & Henderson, Inc., New
York, which received fast action from the pub-
lishers. The song was accepted upon the first
hearing and was placed into work immediately.
"I'll Never Ask For More" has one of those
"homey" melodies such as Fred Allert has dis-
tinguished himself for in the past. The lyric is
excellent as well and gets an unusual treatment.
