FEIST MUSICjN^ "AFGHAR"
"Why Don't You" Seems to Be Hit of Elaborate
Production Recently Opened in New York
Some time ago, when in England, Joseph Mc-
Carthy and Harry Tierney made arrangements
with Charles B. Cochran, the producer, and Alice
Dclysia, the star, of the London and Paris sensa-
tion, "Afghar," to write some topical American
numbers for the show's presentation in this coun-
try. With the recent opening of the production,
which has been greeted most favorably by New
York audiences, the number from these young
writers' pens, "Why Don't You?" seems to be
one of the hits of the show. The other numbers
in the production are by Douglas Furber and
Charles Cuvillier and include "Dear Lonely
Lover," "Live for Love," "Rose of Seville," "Sun-
shine Valley," "Give the Devil His Due," "Unit-
ed We Stand" and "The Man From Mexico." In
addition, Tom Johnstone and Harry Archer are
credited with "Be Yourself." Leo Feist, Inc., not
only publish "Why Don't You?" by McCarthy
and Tierney, but are the American publishers of
the entire score.
Wier and Evans, who presented a big singing
act recently, informed the publishers that "Down
the Trail to Home, Sweet Home" was well re-
ceived everywhere. This act is playing on the
Keith Circuit and has helped considerably in
arousing the enthusiasm of the public for this
newest Ball work.

PUSHING MUSIC BOX NUMBER
Fall Campaign of Leo Feist Carries Full Page
in Ladies' Home Journal and Features "A
Young Man's Fancy" and Other Hits
Following the early November campaign in-
augurated by Leo Feist, Inc., on "A Young
Man's Fancy," which during the week of No-
vember 7 included advertisements of good size
in several Chicago papers, the Feist November
campaign also includes a full-page advertisement
in the Ladies' Home Journal, the copy featur-
ing "A Young Man's Fancy" and "Sweetheart
Blues," as well as "Down in Chinatown." "A
Young Man's Fancy" is known as the music box
novelty number and is quite popular in the or-
chestra field.
"Irene," "Alice Blue Gown," "When You Look
in the Heart of a Rose," "Oh," "Linger Longer,
Letty," "Red Rose," "Honolulu Eyes," "Spring-
time in Mayo," "Just Like the Rose," "Castle
of Dreams" and "Rose of My Heart," all popu-
lar and high-class numbers of the catalog, are

five times as many readers. This is the first big
Fall advertising campaign by the house of Feist.
"IRENE" 250 TIMES IN LONDON
Musical Comedy Still Enjoying Great Publicity
in England
According to recent reports from London, Eng-
land, the 250th performance of the musical show
"Irene" took place there at the Empire Theatre
on October 23. The play has settled down for a
long run and seats are sold out many weeks in
advance. It is expected that the New York rec-
ord for "Irene" of a year in the same theatre will
be equaled, if not surpassed. The "Alice Blue
Gown*' song, it is stated, is rated as one of the
season's most popular successes.

lishing house, has accepted for publication a high-

written by Milt Hagcn and James Schearer. The

On" which is proving an excellent work for
