The Edison phonograph monthly (Jan-Dec 1910)

Edison Phonograph Monthly, Aug. , 1910 19 532 Hope Beyond Anthony and Harrison Sacred. An exceptional Record of its kind whose appeal will extend far beyond the circle of lovers of the devotional type of Records. The selection is sung in two solos and duets, and these two specialists have fairly outdone themselves in the rendition. This Record will be a big seller. Orchestra accompaniment. Words and music, C. A. White; publishers, WhiteSmith, New York City. 533 Just for a Girl Edward M. Favor A waltz air, linked with clever words telling in a humorous vein of the things which man does and causes to be done "just for a girl." If the number had been written expressly for Mr. Favor it couldn't have appeared more suitable to his style. Orchestra accompaniment. Music, Ernest R. Ball; words, Ren Shields; publishers, M. Witmark & Sons, New York City. 534 You Are the Ideal of My Dreams W. H. Thompson A baritone solo. A popular love ballad of more than ordinary poetic merit wedded to a most appealing melody. This song is not of the evanescent type; its popularity, only now beginning, mav be expected to continue indefinitely, for the number is far superior in every respect to the majority of sentimental compositions. Mr. Thompson's rich baritone voice and expressive style of singing complete the attractiveness of the Record. Orchestra accompaniment. Words and music, Herbert Ingraham; puMisher, Shapiro, New York City. 535 Mandy, How Do You Do? Ada Jones and Billy Murray and Chorus A conversational duet of a very popular "coon" song, whose rhythmic melody is delightfully fascinating. This is the type of song that Ada Jones and Billy Murray revel in, and is likewise the type that the Phonograph public seems never to tire of. The duettists are given effective support in the repetition of each refrain by a chorus of male voices, well balanced and harmonized. Orchestra accompaniment. Words and music, Percy Wenrich; publishers, Jerome H. Remick & Co., New York City. 536 The Premier Polka Arthur S. Witcomb A cornet solo by a member of the United States Marine Band which furnishes the accompaniment for this Record. Mr. Witcomb has already contributed one number to our list. Its reception by the Edison public was very flattering. This polka is spirited and lively, offering Mr. Witcomb a splendid opportunity to display his polished technique. Composer, Edward Llewellyn; publishers, The Dixie Music House, Chicago, 111. 537 When the Robins Nest Again Will Oakland and Chorus An old-time favorite in a new setting. This is among the number of popular melodies of other days revived by the favorite counter-tenor during the past season. There are very few who do not know this captivating waltz song or will not recognize it when they hear it, and fewer still who will not want it in their collection. Words and music, Frank Howard. 538 Trip to the County Fair Premier Quartet Our male quartet in another one of those descriptive Records, with song, comedy and novel effects introduced, that are always popular with the public. After a song and some jokes the train pulls in at the station, the crowd boards it, and they're off to the fair. There isn't a dull moment from that time on. After being properly introduced by the "barkers" to the Rubberneck Man, the Strong Man, the Punch and Judy Show and a few more familiar attractions at County Fairs, each of which is the subject of a lot of funny comments and chaffing, they are entertained by "Hamalujah to de Lam' " by the Georgia Jubilee Singers. This concludes the Record which will be found to be bright and entertaining all the way through. 539 Temptation Rag New York Military Band The most popular "rag" of the day. The apt title of this popular piece is "Temptation Rag" and the chief temptation voiced by the music is to hear it just as often as possible. It is full of fine melody and the snap of "rag" rhythm. A rarely fascinating band Record. Composer, Henry Lodge; publishers, M. Witmark & Sons, New York City. Edison Standard Records for October, 1910 LIST: U. S., 35c; CANADA, 40c. 10426 Strenuous Life March United States Marine Band A brisk, lively air of good tone and volume. To attempt to praise the work of this famous organization would be an unnecessary waste of valuable space. Their reputation is an accepted guarantee of their Records. Composer, J. G. Boehme. {Always specify on your orders whether you want Amberol or Standard Records.)
