This department is designed to advance the sales
of sheet music, and give any current information in
the Sheet Music Trade.
This publication believes that Sheet Music will
pay the dealer, just as any other commodity pays
those who merchandise it properly.
The conductor of this department will review
any numbers that are sent in for the purpose. It is
not the intent to criticise, but to review these offer-
ings, giving particular information of the theme and
a description of the musical setting of the number
discussed.
Address all communications to Conductor Sheet

HEARST NUMBERS ON STAGE
Big List of Vodvil Artists Feature Winning Songs in
Prominent Houses.
Bobbie Lowe of Youth and Melody, featuring
"Home, My Lovin' Dixie Home" and "Some Day
You'll Cry Over Somebody Else," the two popular
Hearst Music Publishers numbers, will play in the
near future the Poli Circuit theaters in Hartford, New
Haven, Bridgeport, Meriden, Wilkes-Barre, Scran-
ton, Waterbury, Springfield and Worcester, beginning
November 3rd; to follow in the Royal, Riverside,
Palace and other Keith houses.
Ethel La Rue, with John Grabler's Revue, opens at
the Strand Theater in Shamokin, Pa., with other
houses to follow, using "Some Day You'll Cry Over
Somebody Else"; and states it is one of the best
numbers she has had for a long time. Her winning
personality, splendid voice and a smile that won't
wear off contribute greatly to her artistic rendition of
this ballad.
Jess Libonati, the famous xylophonist, now touring
the Pantages Time, is using "Some Day You'll Cry
NEW WALTZ ATTRACTS BUYERS
Attractive Number in the Geo. W. Thomas Music
Co.'s List Has Winning Characteristics.
Every sheet music dealer can find a quick and ready
seller in "At Sundown," the sensational waltz success
of the Geo. W. Thomas Music Co., 423 Bowen ave-
nue, Chicago. The waltz provides an attractive num-
ber for the counter kept abreast of the times.
Good waltzes are scarce notwithstanding the ex-
pressed desires for more waltzes by the orchestra
leaders and the sheet music trade, agencies that can
accurately gauge the requirements and musical long-
ings of the sheet music buyers. The new waltz num-
ber of the Geo. W. Thomas Music Co. has the merits
to appeal to the sheet music dealer keen to attract
tasteful customers to his counter.
"Houston Blues," "Muscle Shoals Blues," "Up the
Country Blues" and "Shorty George Blues," com-
prise a quartet of winning numbers from the list of
the Geo. W. Thomas Music Co. Other successful
numbers from the Thomas list are: "Mammy's 7
Little Brown Rose," "I've Found a Sweetheart,'
"You Have a Home Somewhere," "I've Got a Man of
My Own," and "I Ain't No Sheik."
Over Somebody Else" on his way to the coast
through Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Calgary
and Vancouver; then over to Portland, Spokane,
Seattle, Tacoma, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Oak-
land; and then east until July 1, 1924, making a
special feature of "Cry."
Hoffman and Clifton of the Emerald Revue will
make a special feature of "Some Day You'll Cry Over
Somebody Else" on their tour through the New Eng-
land cities, this style of ballad suiting them wonder-
fully.
Al. Kilgour, the well-known balladist, is now tour-
ing western Canada featuring Hearst Music Pub-
lishers in the leading theaters, co-operating with the
dealers in exploiting the Hearst numbers.
Farrell and Hatch, the Colored Aristocrats of Song
and Melody, are singing "Some Day You'll Cry Over
Somebody Else" over the Pantages Time, booked
solid until next July throughout Canada, the Coast
and the Middle States back to New York.
Breitner's Famous Dance Orchestra, of Minne-
apolis, is playing nightly the Hearst songs "If I Had
You" and "Ginny" and made a big hit with them at
the West Broadway Street Carnival recently.
GALLAGHER AND SHEAN STARS
Appellate Division of Supreme Court in New York
Denies Contention Team Is "Ordinary."
"Oh, Mr. Gallagher." "Yes, Mr. Shean."
"Four judges think our stuff is art, I ween."
" 'Tis soitinly a slam,
We're not the hams what am,
But actors of the finest, Mr. Shean."
The appellate division of the Supreme Court in
New York last week added another jinx to the parade
of glooms in the theatrical life of Edward Gallagher
and Al Shean when it decided that Mr. Gallagher and
Mr. Shean were not mere hams.
In the injunction proceedings of the Shuberts re-
straining the team from performing for any one else,
it was decided in the lower courts that Gallagher and
Shean were "absolutely ordinary," as they contended.
But in the appellate division of the Supreme. Court
last week four justices ruled the pair were "irreplace-
able actors," as claimed by the Shuberts. Only one
justice voted nay. The ruling means that the con-
tract binds them to the Shuberts.
William McDermott, Buffalo, representative for
Jerome H. Remick & Co., music publishers; New
York, says the most favored numbers in the Remick
list in that city are "Dreamy Melody," "Lou'siana,"
"Somebody's Wrong" and "First, Last and Always."
