those of the Circle Theatre on the occasion of
the showing of the photoplay "Mighty Lak' a
Rose," and featured the Nevin composition on
records, player rolls and sheet music in a
double-page advertisement in the Saturday after-
noon edition of the Indianapolis News. The
musical program of the theatre, by the Circle
Orchestra, directed by Modest Altschuler, was
built around the composition and this combina-

Leo Feist, Inc., the publisher of "Crying for

for You" is by the writers of the last season's
success, "Why Should I Cry Over You"—Ned
Miller and Chester Cohn.
DAVIS MAKES ANOTHER TEN=STRIKE
Benny Davis, who is one of the co-authors
of the M. Witmark & Sons fox-trot success,
"Fate," is responsible for a long list of successes
during the past two years. His contributions
have been steady, no long intervals taking place
between the release of his songs. Last season
the Witmark house published his "Angel Child,"
one of the biggest numbers in that catalog.
