PRESTO
I. E. Sklare, manager of the .Portland Rcmick
Song and Gift Shop, left this week for the east, lie
will visit New York and if possible will arrange his
trip so as to be in Chicago for a part of the Na-
tional Prosperity Convention.
Mr. Sklare says that the new Remick number,
"Babbling Brook," is coming to the front and taking
the place of "Carolina in the Morning," which held
first place for so long a time. The song is being
featured by all of the Portland picture theaters and
dance orchestras, and the George Olsen orchestra
featured it by a special arrangement.
PLEA TO PUBLIC.
The Music Shops, Inc., No. 40 Washington avenue,
Endicott, N. Y., carry a fine line of instruments, as
well as sheet music, rolls and records. This reminder
was printed by the company last week: "Home is
not home without music and plenty of it. The chil-
dren should study music and learn some instrument,
and the older people should keep up their interest in
some other way. Even the people who are not per-
formers can have music in these days, for there are
all the mechanical instruments to be enjoyed. Make
your home a real home by putting music in it.
Whatever you want, violins, pianos, banjos, mando-
lins, accordions or guitars, you can find it here."
REMICK HITS IN WINDOWS.
Special window displays of the popular numbers
of Jerome H. Remick & Co., New York publishers,
have been planned for Buffalo by William H. Mc-
Dermott, New York State representative. "Beside
the Babbling Brook," and "I'm Shedding Tears Over
You," are two hits featured in the store by the W.
T.. Frank Co. and the H. S. Kresge Co.
