Triangle Issues Many
Piano Novelty Solos
Music Publishing Firm Has Nearly a Dozen of
New Compositions of This Type in Its Latest
Catalog
A corner in the piano solo market is claimed
by Joe Davis, head of the Triangle Music Pub-
lishing Co., New York, temporarily at least,
with the issue of nearly a dozen such novelties
by various composers. Mr. Davis is working
on these numbers in his usual competent man-
ner, and has found the well-known recording
pianists and radio artists to be particularly in-
terested in them. All of the new releases pos-
sess real individuality and the publisher is con-
fident that they will develop into standard
selections with a steady demand over a period
of years.
"Serenata," by Rube Bloom, composer of
"Soliloquy," and other piano solos, was issued
by the Triangle concern a short time ago, and
is the first of the new list. The others are as
follows: "Punch and Judy," by Paul Vincent;
"Solitude, 1 by Spencer Williams; "Barbecue
Rhythm," by Muriel Pollock; "Meditation," by
Thomas Waller; "Dominola" and "Dance of
the Fireflies," by Eugene Platzman. A special
concert arrangement for piano of "I Ain't Got
Nobody" has also been prepared for the Tri-
angle firm by Spencer Williams.

form as a piano solo. An unusual title page
has been obtained and the publisher feels con-
fident that it will attract attention on any music
counter.
While this number and "Just a Dance Pro-
gram of Long Ago" are shaping up for the Fall,
Mr. Piantadosi is enjoying the fruits of "Loui-
siana," a hot fox-trot, which has been very
active a.11 Summer. The Paul Whiteman record-
ing of "Louisiana" was recently purchased by
John Coolidge, son of the President, and Mr.
Piantadosi is cashing in on this fact by means
of a postcard sent out to the trade, reprinting
an item from the New York Telegraph describ-
ing the incident.
Donaldson Writing Score
of "Whoopee" for Ziegfeld
Plans are now under way in the music pub-
lishing concern of Donaldson, Douglass &
Gumble, Inc., New York, for issuing the score
of the new Ziegfeld production, "Whoopee,"
which will be produced in the early Fall
starring Eddie Cantor. Walter Donaldson, of
the publishing firm, is at present collaborating
with Gus Kahn on the score, and it is antici-
pated that this combination will prove a winner,
in view of their highly successful work as co-
writers at various times in the past. The firm
is now working on Walter Donaldson's latest
number, "Just Another Night," which is the
first waltz in the firm's catalog.
"Lady Fingers" to Be
DeSylva, Brown & Henderson
Issued by Al Piantadosi
Issue a New Folder
Novelty Number, Successor to "Dancing
Shadows," Shortly to Be Released by That
Publishing House
In view of the success he has had with the
novelette, "Dancing Shadows," during the past
season, Al Piantadosi, music publisher at 1576
Broadway, New York, has secured another
novelty number entitled "Lady Fingers," which
will be used as its successor. This number,
written by Jack Glogau and Joe Zimmerman, is
now on the press and will be released with a
special orchestration and also in sheet music
THE OVER-NIGHT
SENSATION
fflem 'ries
(Golden Memory Days)
The Musical Theme o(-7he Philco Radio Hour.
DeSylva, Brown & Henderson, Inc., have just
issued an interesting little folder, envelope size,
entitled: "A Message—To You From Us," call-
ing particular attention to the numbers written
by that trio for the George White "Scandals,"
and to some of the good work they are doing
for other prominent productions now running
or in prospect. The front of the folder bears
a group photo of the three successful young
publishers and writers, and on the back are
listed some thirty or more of the company's
outstanding song successes. It is a bit of
unusual publicity of the personal type which
should prove valuable.
"Felix the Gat" Is
Recorded by Whiteman
Paul Whiteman's recording of the novelty
number, "Felix the Cat," made recently on
Columbia records is expected to stimulate the
sheet music sales of this number, according to
executives of Sam Fox Publishing Co., New
York and Cleveland. The number was released
several months ago and an active national cam-
paign has been worked out by the publisher
tying up with the Pat Sullivan cartoon of the
same title in both newspapers and films.
