Name of newsreel march?
I have the tune of a march used for movie newsreels in the 1930's running through my head and can't think of the name or composer. Something like "World News March" or "Current Events March" with snippets of it used to introduce Paramount/Pathe/Movietone/? newsreels. Couldn't find it in a search of the web or publishers catalogs. Any ideas?

Re: Name of newsreel march?
Hah, a little more digging and I found it almost at the end of "March Music Melodies" by Norman Smith.
It is called "World Events" march by John Stepan Zamecnik, a prolific composer from (coincidentally) my own home town of Cleveland, O. It was published by Sam Fox in 1935, but I cannot find it listed by the publishers who took over the Fox business. Does anyone know if copies are available?
