Red Star Music Co.
Holds Formal Opening
' i
The formal opening of the elaborately
equipped offices of the Red Star Music Co., at
729 Seventh avenue, was held on April 24 and
throughout the day and evening the quarters
were crowded by the professional friends of Pat
Flaherty, general manager, and those associated
with him, including Jack McCoy, Bill Jacobs,
Jules Von Tilzer, Jack Lavin, Herman Schenck,
Sam Wigler and a score of others of like
standing in the industry.
Although the company has been functioning
for some weeks, the work of decorating and
equipping the commodious quarters at the Sev-
enth avenue address was only recently com-
pleted. The accommodations for both the trade
and the profession are close to ideal, particu-
larly the battery of piano rooms on the second
floor, each of which is furnished in excellent
taste.
The Red Star Music Co. was organized as the
music publishing division of the Fox Film Corp.
and will handle the music from the various pro-
ductions of that company. Already there have
been some important releases made.

signed for amateur performance and the score
is full of tuneful numbers.
Marks Co. is planning a strong campaign on
the number. Although it has no connection
with the stage success "Green Pastures" the
issuance of a song under the name should
assure some timely publicity.

The seventeenth annual convention of the
National Association of Sheet Music Dealers
will be held at the New Yorker Hotel, New
York, during the week of June 9 in conjunction
with the conventions of the several other as-

A most interesting program is being prepared
for the convention, a feature being the report
of a joint committee of publishers and retailers
appointed last year to formulate a code of
ethics designed to eliminate unfair competition
in sheet music trade. There will be a number
