NEW WRITERS FOR LEO FEIST, INC.
Recent additions to that ever increasing staff of
song writers connected with the house of Leo
Feist, Inc., are: Moe Kleeman, formerly with
the Maurice Richmond Music Co., and Arthur
Fields, at one time connected with the trio of
Westin, Fields and Carroll in vaudeville.
"To-night's the Night," the clever musical
comedy from the Gaiety Theater, London, which
was produced in New York with the original
English company and met with considerable suc-
cess, is now playing in Boston, where the recep-
tion accorded it was most cordial and where it
will probably remain for the balance of the season.
The music of the piece is by Paul A. Rubens, and
"You Can't Go Wrong With a 'Feist* Song"
"I Want to Be There
" T H E R E " means where you were born. " l Want to Be There" is not just "another"
home-town song. It's a bigeer and better home-town song than was ever written before.
Recalls to every mother's son and daughter the happiness of play-days—the ecstacy of
love-days. It's a safe bet that "I Want to Be There" will knock the sales-records sky
high. Why shouldn't itf It takes you home—to mothei—to the old dog Rovei—and
to that "face so pleasin"'—OF COURSE you "want to be there." Today's the day
to get your copy. Lyrics by Grant Clarke; music by Jimmic V. Monaco. Introduced
and featured by the inimitable Bessie Wynn.

My Own Venetian Rose
It's like "gilding refined gold" to attempt to praise this newest love song with superla-
tives of speech. Suffice it to say that the words and music are by Al. Piantadosi. Jack
Glogau and Joe McCarthy. " M y Own Venetian Rose" is the song that Mae Francis loves to eing. It's the song that
YOU will love to sing. AND DANCERS!—here is good news for you! It is also published as a waltz underthe title
of "Venetian Rose." Get your partner quick when you hear this Hesitation of Hesitations. It's the dance " h i t " of
New York and Palm Beach. A haunting, resistless theme. You can't keep still when you hear it
