"POOR BUTTERFLY" FOR LONDON
That and Other Hits of "The Big Show" at the
Hippodrome in British Production
Philip Klein, representing Alfred Butt, the
London impresario, has arranged for the ex-
clusive producing right in England of "Poor
Butterfly" and "Hello, I've Been Looking for
You," two of the popular song hits of the Hippo-
drome spectacle, "The Big Show." Mr. Butt
intends to use these songs in his new revue at
the Empire Theatre, London.
The other numbers in "The Big Show" have
been turned over to Chas. Cochrane for use in
his production at the Ambassador's Theatre,
London. T. B. Harms & Francis, Day & Hunter
are the publishers of the music.
THEO. MORSE^AYS IT'S GOOD!
"Sing Me Love's Lullaby," Highly Praised by
Him—He Wrote It!
"Sing Me Love's Lullaby" is the title of a
song which will shortly be published by Leo
Feist, Inc. The lyrics of this new offering are
by Dorothy Terriss, and the music is by Theo-
dore Morse, who says the new number is "the
sweetest, singable, swayable, haunting, taunting
song melody written in years." And he further
states he is not the least prejudiced, because he
knows the composer.
