ried on for Number Has Encouraged Pub-
lishers to Continue Their Efforts
"Norwegian Cradle Song," which was added
to the catalog of the Century Music Publishing
Co. some months back, has won unusual prom-
inence in the short space of time. The initial
response to the exploitation campaign on this
number has been so substantial that the pub-
lishers have decided to give it further publicity.
Many dealers throughout the country are mak-
ing a feature of "Norwegian Cradle Song" and
by window displays and other publicity methods
have added to the volume of sales.

AKRON,
CHICAGO, I I I . , February 28.—"Waiting For You,"
popular waltz number published by Will Ros-
siter, the Chicago publisher, is being featured
by the Balaban & Katz theatres in Chicago in
novelty form.
The initial appearance was made at the Chi-
cago Theatre recently. A film is thrown on
the screen, while the organ plays the melody.
The words are thrown on the screen as the
organ plays, and at first appear very faint.
Then as each note is struck the words are
shown bolder.
A verse and two choruses of "Waiting For
You" are used. Intermingled between the first
and second choruses are violin and piano solos.
Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Crawford introduced this
feature on the twin organs at the Chicago, mak-
ing a very novel entertainment.
