Laugh! Clown, Laugh! - Waring's Pennsylvanians (1928)

Fun fact: the joke that Rorschach tells in the movie "Watchmen" about the Great Pagliacci is a reference to the movie this song is named after

Recorded on March 8, 1928.
The song was written as the "theme" for Lon Chaney's 1928 silent movie of the same name.
