A new novelty song has been secured by
Gene Austin, Inc., New York, entitled "(Any-
one Can See With Half an Eye) I'm Crazy
Over You," written by Al Lewis and Al Sher-
man. The latter is tlie composer of "Dew,
Dew, Dewy Day" and the new song is his
second to be placed with Gene Austin, Inc.,
this Fall, the first being "Wear a Hat With a
Silver Lining." Marty Bloom, general manager
of the firm, is enthusiastic over the new re-
lease, stating there is a dearth of good comedy

Bluebird," by Abner Silver and Roy Turk.
