HAWAIIAN BUTTERFLY PARTY
feW Feist Song Introduced to Public in Chicago
Through the Medium of a Gala Affair—"Ha-
Waiian Butterfly" Looks Like Big Hit
CHICAGO, I I I . , March 5.—As per the announce-
ment Which appeared on billboards throughout
the city a Hawaiian Butterfly party was held at
Gayon's Paradise, Crawford avenue and Wash-
ihgtdn boulevard, this city, last Thursday night.
The affair was heavily advertised by posters
Eind newspapers and handbills were also used
freely, and the large attendance testified to the
success of the idea.
The feature of the entertainment was the first
public performance of "'Hawaiian Butterfly," the
new fascinating Hawaiian melody which is
just off the press and is being published by Leo
Feist, Inc. Twenty-five vocal artists from the
Feist professional offices here were the medium
of placing the song before the crowd and the
reception which they and the song received
proves their recent assertion that it was a song
sensation. Not only was it a success as a song
but as a fox-trot it will probably give anything
produced this season a run for first honors.
The staging of the affair was very elaborate,
Hawaiian costumes, Hawaiian music and Ha-
waiian atmosphere was the order of the day,
and the management's success in gaining that
end was quite evident. "Hawaiian Butterfly,"
which sold thousands of copies before it was
published, justified the confidence of the Feist
staff and those who have invested in large
Orders for the number.
