-THE MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY
Claire Rochester in ^^Indiana''
HEN the British Army crossed the channel and took its place on the line in France, it went to the tune of "Tipperary." The American troops are singing a song called "Indiana," which has a wonderful march swing, an inspiring air, and words which can be twisted to the use of any regiment.
The words and music were written by James H. Hanley, and it has been chosen for the "Song Hit in Photoplay" to be released next week. This "Song Hit in Photoplay," "Indiana," will have for its star Claire Rochester, famous vaudeville star, who is astonishing audiences with her freak voice and engaging personality. Miss Rochester not only has a pleasant soprano voice, which is all that any vaudeville singer could desire, but she has two other voices as well.
One of the endeavors of Harry Cohn, who is producing these "Song Hits in Photoplay," has been to show the way in which the song was originated. "Indiana" has a story which is simple enough. Hanley had been trying to sell it to publishers for some time, without any success. One day Claire Rochester walked into his office and before she opened the door she heard the strains of a harmonica playing a number which took her fancy at once. She came in noiselessly and sat behind the door until Hanley was through Then she jumped up in a hurry and told Hanley that if he did not find a publisher for it at once, she would publish it herself. She was that sure of its success. She has been singing it herself in vaudeville and it has been the riot of her career.
Every exhibitor will want to take advantage of this unique opportunity to present the song which the "Sammies" are singing in France to-day.
