THB OOTLOOE- Whijo publishers are trying to be optimistic re- garding the on-<:omlng Summer season most.ot them caiHllury admit that conditions are far from nor- mal. Chicago pubUshc-rs hesitate to make a big. boosting splash because they fear that the miislc will sail dowiy (Judging. by prcsont conditions), even if they put over hits. The cold spell-seems to interfere -n-lth real Summer activities In the amusement porks (that always means an Increased sale of sheet mnslc) asiA the lateness of tho scancn mokes.it extremely hard tor the publlsfliers to land songs with acta playing regular vaudeville routes. Publl^ers arc cau£^t between the two fires and <U> cot kuow Just what to do.
