Edison Amberol Concert Records 75 CENTS EACH IN THE UNITED STATES; $1.00 EACH IN CANADA Our May Concert Records introduce artists new to the Phonograph, but well known in musical circles. Our first Record is truly wonderful in the absolute faithfulness with which it reproduces the exquisite tones of the 'cello as it responds to the touch of a master. In our second Record we present an almost classical waltz, played by a brilliant organization of Hungarian musicians; and our third selection offers a very superior performance of a song which has been for years a household favorite. 28014 Vito Paulo Gruppe The average music lover probably prefers the 'cello to any other instrument, for in its depth and richness of tone there lies a wonderful charm. Paulo Gruppe is absolute master of the 'cello, playing with a strength andtechnical skill that are little short of phenomenal. In this brilliant and lively composition by the well-known Bohemian 'cellist-composer, David Popper, Gruppe fingers with a rapidity which would seem possible only on the violin. Max Herzberg, at the piano, assists admirably in making this delightful Record worthy of a place upon the Concert list. 28015 Coppelia — Entr'Acte and Waltz Armand Vecsey and his Hungarian Orchestra Clement Delibes is a noted French composer of light operas, the most charming of which is "Coppelia." The waltz is enchanting, with its beautiful graceful swing, which is so perfectly executed by this talented organization of Hungarian artists. This Record will make a strong appeal to lovers of the artistic, while its rhythm will instantly find favor with the most casual listener. 28016 Old Folks at Home Margaret Keye* Foster's beautiful old melody is -sung with a wealth of beauty, but with perfect simplicity and deep sympathy by this well-known contralto. Edison Amberol Records UNITED STATES LIST, 50 CENTS; CANADIAN, 65 CENTS 987 A Songologue — Winter Garden Stella Mayhew It is rather unusual to offer nearly a whole vaudeville sketch on one Record, but here we have Stella Mayhew giving part of her "Winter Garden" repertoire, appearing first as an Irish lady (?) entertaining the judge before whom she has been haled. Then she changes color and sings "Kentucky Boy" in good old coon style. Billie Taylor did some very clever work in preparing this number, for it is extremely witty and entertaining. Orchestra accompaniment. Published by J. Lehman & Company. 988 Mary Was My Mother's Name Joseph A. Phillip Mr. Phillips has chosen this sentimental song, of reminiscent character, with which to again present his ability to the Edison audience. Alfred Solman, its composer, gained great popu larity as the writer of "Mine" (Amberol No. 936). Orchestra accompaniment. Words bv Arthur J. Lamb; publishers, Joe Morris Music Co., New York City. (Always specify on your orders whether you want Amberol or Standard Records.)
