AMERICAN MUSIC IN ENGLAND
Director Paul Specht, at New York Reception, Said
Jazz Is Still Rampant.
Paul Specht's orchestra returned last week after a
successful musical invasion of England, and were
tendered a reception and dinner by their friends in
the musical profession at the N. V. A. Clubhouse,
New York.
Mr. Specht commented on the growth of the
American style of jazz in England, and stated that
he had noticed certain English musicians in the
audience night after night, making notes of various
phases of American musical rendition that were new
to them.
He said that instrument dealers and manufacturers
in England had told him that since the foremost
American dance orchestras had invaded Great Britain,
the sale of saxophones had doubled and even in some
instances trebled, and the output of other musical in-
struments had likewise increased.
E. C. Mills, head of the Music Publishers' Protec-
tive Association, was master of the Specht reception
ceremonies and Jack Bliss acted as toastmaster. Mr.
Specht was given a diamond and pearl shirt set as a
token of esteem by his friends.
REMICK SONGS BIG WINNERS
Attractive Featuring of Many Numbers Stimulates
Sales by Music Dealers.
he Jerome H. Remick Co.'s song hits, "Babbling
Brook," "Barney Google" and "Dreamy Melody"
are big sellers in all sections of the country. In
Buffalo, N. Y., and other points of western New York
great stimulation to the numbers of the Remick
catalog has been given by the featuring work of
William H. McDermott.
I. E. Sklare, manager of the Remick Song &
Gift Shop, Portland, Ore., reports the return to the
popular music shop of Frank Trevor, the pianist, who
presides at the Bush & Lane piano on the mezzanine
floor.
"Carolina in the Morning" is a continuous hit of
Jerome H. Remick & Co. and is being sung every
place. Literally the song is the biggest hit of the
time. Other Remick songs are proving to be big
favorites in certain parts of the country and the sales
of any one of them may be equal in the aggregate to
the sales of "Carolina in the Morning," but when it
comes to general, all-'round-the-country popularity,
the latter is the big profit maker.
But the Remick line has other big sellers that make
profits for the sheet music dealers. "My Buddy"
keeps up in sales and it is another of the Remick fa-
vorites that has a wide call. The same may be said
about "Silver Swanee," "California," and "Sweet In-
diana Home." These two latter songs have achieved
greater triumphs in the East than within the confines
of the mid-west and far-west states which they com-
memorate.
NEW CADMAN SONG RELEASED
Music Publishing Department of Sherman, Clay &
Co., San Francisco, Presents It.
Charles Wakefield Cadman is perhaps the fore-
most figure in the composer's field in California and
is rightly regarded as one of the greatest living
American composers. He has to his credit over 200
songs, four operas, a number of trios and quartets
for chamber music, many compositions for piano
and has written special music for photoplays of great
artistic merit like the Rubaiyat.
The publishing department of Sherman, Clay &
Co., San Francisco, has released a song, "My Sweet-
heart of Paradise," by Mr. Cadman, with words by
John Steel, which has been placed on sale in all
cities on the Pacific Coast. The song is written in
two keys and musicians say it wlil follow in the foot-
steps of Cadman's "Dawning," which is loved by the
music world.
HELPS MUSIC'S CAUSE.
The new supervisor of music in the public schools
of Kentucky is Miss Caroline B. Bonjard, who is
known to the music trade as a potent aid to music
sales. For forty years she has been identified with
the Louisville public schools and has always been a
stimulation to musical interest.
MUSIC BOYCOTTS REVOKED.
German music is again selling freely in France.
French and German music merchants' associations
and syndicates have now revoked the boycott orders
observed from the outbreak of the great war to
January of this year.

"Be First With a HEARST"
RODENHEAVER'S PLANS.
The plans for the trip of Homer Rodenheaver to
Japan scheduled for this month will probably be set
aside owing to the Japanese disaster. One of the
objects of Mr. Rodenheaver's trip was to introduce
his songs to talking machine owners in Japan, Korea,
China, India and other Far East countries. The
same process was intended to be followed elsewhere
in Asia. Records would have been produced in a
large establishment in Yokohama, which is under
direction of a former associates of Mr. Rodeheaver
in America and then be distributed to missionaries,
if the original plans were carried out.
