The popularity of "He's Our Al" is keeping
pace with the developments of Gov. Smith's
party in the Presidential race, according to Will
Von Tilzer, head of the Broadway Music Corp.,
New York, publisher of the number. Several
of the large syndicate stores handling Pathe
records in their music departments have been
effecting a tie-up with the new Pathe release
of "He's Our Al," backed up by "The Side-
walks of New York" (East Side-West Side).
Posters and displays of both songs have been

Italian-Spanish Lyrics
on New "Ramona" Edition
A new sheet music edition of "Ramona,"
which will include both Italian and Spanish
lyrics, has been announced by Leo Feist, Inc.,
New York, and will be off the press shortly.
This move was made subsequent to the an-
nouncement of the Victor Talking Machine Co.,
of the release of Victor records of "Ramona"
in Italian, French, Spanish, Polish, German and
Greek and the new sheet music edition will
doubtless be valuable for music dealers in
foreign communities. According to the Feist
announcement, "Ramona" is now the leading hit
in England, Australia, the Continent of Europe,
Mexico and the South American countries.

Will Rockwell, Eastern manager for Villa
Moret, Inc., New York, has returned recently
from a two weeks' vacation at Atlantic City.
Although taking a rest there, Mr. Rockwell
succeeded in lining up some fine plugs for the
firm's catalog, which is now headed by "Ready
for the River." This song has developed
rapidly of late as the successor to "Chlo-e,"
which did so well last season.
