Bernard Prager Returns
From Phenomenal Trip
"TWO WEEKS OFF"
Starring

and JACK MULHALL
Bernard Prager, sales manager of the Rob-
bins Music Corp., New York, returned recently
from a short visit to Chicago and Detroit,
which he states was the most phenomenal trip
in point of sales since he has been with the
company. "The Chicago jobbers can't seem
to get enough copies of 'Broadway Melody,'
'You Were Meant for Me' and 'Pagan Love
Song,' " said Mr. Prager this week. "In spite
of large orders taken in the field on these
songs, I found telegrams for additional' lots of
1,000 to 2,000 copies on my return. The Rob-
bins catalog has more popular hits than in any
period in its history with 'If I Had You' still
selling well. 'The One in the World,' also a
Campbell-Connelly song, has begun to take on
and will unquestionably be a real successor to
'If I Had You.'"

from "The Awakening," "Coquette" from the film
of the same title, "Where Is the Song of Songs
For Me?" from "Lady of the Pavements,"
"Heart of Mine" from "Noah's Ark" and many
others. Mr. Bornstein indicated that prospects
for many valuable new connections are on the
horizon.
