This number, written by Jack Glogau and Joe Zimmerman, is now on the press and will be released with a special orchestration and also in sheet music form as a piano solo. An unusual title page has been obtained and the publisher feels confident that it will attract attention on any music counter. While this number and "Just a Dance Program of Long Ago" are shaping up for the Fall, Mr. Piantadosi is enjoying the fruits of "Louisiana," a hot fox-trot, which has been very active all Summer. The Paul Whiteman recording of "Louisiana" was recently purchased by John Coolidge, son of the President, and Mr. Piantadosi is cashing in on this fact by means of a postcard sent out to the trade, reprinting an item from the New York Telegraph describing the incident. Triangle Catalog Covers Wide Range A complete catalog has just been issued by the Triangle Music Publishing Co., New York, on the back of a large order blank and is being mailed to the trade. The list has six classifications, including sheet music, novelty piano solos, saxophone solos, trumpet solos, folios and orchestrations. The first group (songs) contains over seventy-five copyrighted songs, listed conveniently in alphabetical order. Most of these are obtainable also in orchestration form, some numbers being issued with both special and commercial arrangements. The folios include four separate publications as follows: Joe Davis Hawaiian Folio No. 2, Joe Davis Hawaiian Folio No. 3, Triangle Novelty Blues Song Folio and Triangle Entertainment and Minstrel Folio. The instrumental solos include saxophone arrangements of "Love's Golden Dream" and "Valse Jewel," by Eugene Stanley; "Love's Romance," by Manning King; trumpet arrangements of "Hot Waves" and "Trick Fingering," by John Ventre. Feist Acquires the Rights to "Querida A trend toward popular songs with a Spanish flavor has been marked in the past few seasons by the catalog of Leo Feist, Inc., New York. One of the first Feist songs of this new Spanish cycle was "In a Little Spanish Town," by L. Wolfe Gilbert and Mabel Wayne. These same writers subsequently produced "Ramona" and more recently "Chiquita," v/hich is now at the height of its popularity. The Feist house has again succumbed to the Spanish influence by acquiring the publishing rights to "Querida" from Carl Fischer, Inc., the original publisher. This song is a Spanish serenade, the title "Querida" meaning "sweetheart," and was written by Edward G. Simon and Jose Valdez. The number is being released !a fox-trot form and is already being featured by Vincent Lopez and other large orchestras. "I'm Tired of Making Believe," published by Al Piantadosi, New York City, is receiving a considerable plug over the radio. A Victor release of the number is sung by Harold Yates. Columbia Display Praised by Dealers Dealers throughout the entire country have written to the advertising department of the Columbia Phonograph Co. extending congratulations on the excellence of the window display issued some months ago to feature Paul Whiteman's Columbia records. Practically everyone mentioned the wonderful life-like qualities of the centerpiece of the display, a cut-out of A Pair of Whitemans Mr. Whiteman's head. A glance at the accompanying photograph shows that the praise is well deserved. This photograph was taken at Atlantic City, N. J., during a recent visit made by the Whiteman Orchestra. Von Tilzer-Brown Write New Songs Broadway Music Corp. Releases Three New Numbers by Partnership of A. Seymour Brown and Al Von Tilzer The song-writing partnership formed this Summer by A. Seymour Brown and Albert Von Tilzer, whose reputation as hit writers dates back nearly twenty-five years, has been a fertile one and has produced to date at least four numbers of real consequence. The first song to be written by these men this Summer was "He's Our Al," the campaign song, published by the Broadway Music Corp., New York, of which Will Von Tilzer, brother of Albert, is head. This song has made itself heard on countless radio and dance programs already, and is developing along with the national Democratic campaign for Alfred E. Smith as president. Three other numbers by these writers have been released recently by the Broadway firm and are beginning to show up well for the Fall catalog. The first of these is a comedy number called "I Love Vanilla," the catch-line being "'cause it doesn't leave a stain upon my vest." This song is of the "banana" order, and possesses lyrics catchy enough to take on in a big way. The other two songs, "Dear, When I Met You" and "A Happy Ending," are real quality numbers with a pleasing melody in Mr. Von Tilzer's best style. J. Westermeyer, traveler for the Associated Music Publishers, New York City, recently started on a ten-week trip through Canada and ihe Middle and South West, calling on dealers with a stock order bulletin of old publications and catalogs of foreign publications of which his company owns the United States copyrights. A special price will be accorded dealers on their initial orders. The catalog represents the cream of many foreign listings.
