16 Edison Phonograph Monthly, March, 1912
*989 That College Rag Walter Van Brunt and Chorus
Once more the "College Rah Rah" is burlesqued, this time most tunefully by Mr. Van Brunt and an excellent male chorus. The song has proven to be one of the greatest vaudeville "hits" of the season and reflects great credit upon the abilities of Albert Von Tilzer and Harry Porter, who wrote the music and words. Orchestra accompaniment. Publishers, The York Music Co., New York City.
990 I Want Some One to Care for Me Lottie Gilson Our old favorite is with us again, with her almost perfect enunciation, enabling us to understand perfectly her sentiments upon the marriage question. While the orchestra is playing over the chorus of this catchy song, Lottie tells us just what sort of a man she is looking for.
991 You've Got Me Hypnotized Ada Jones and Billy Murray As long as there is vaudeville, songs of this type will be popular, for every "team" always sings a conversational duet some time during its "turn." This song has several features which will place it above its many "sister" pieces — a captivating waltz time, words brimming over with slang, and last, but perhaps best, it wcs written and composed £>y (Irving Berlin, sponsor for "Alexander's Ragtime Band" (Amberol No. 817) and "The Ragtime Violin" (Amberol No. 966). Orchestra accompaniment. Ted Snyder Company of New York City, publishers.
992 Take Me Back to the Garden of Love Reed Miller Reed Miller has long since established himself in the hearts of Edison owners, as a singer
of unusual quality of voice and smoothness of delivery. In this Record he has an opportunity to display his ability to best advantage, for he sings a love ballad in waltz time, whose beauty has won for it a place on the programs of some of the leading singers of high class songs. Orchestra accompaniment. Music by Nat Osborne; words by E. Ray Goetz. Published by the Ted Snyder Co., New York City.
993 (a) Three Little Owls and the Naughty Little Mice
(b) I'm Old But I'm Awfully Tough Cal Stewart
Cal Stewart! In other words, a hearty laugh and a Record full of fun. Cal sings of the very sad fate of three unsuspecting mice, then proclaims that he is "tough." We certainly hope so, for we would not care to lose our laugh-maker man. Orchestra accompaniment.
994 The Passing Caravan Patrol New York Military Band An excellent concert piece with the ever-irresistible march time, introducing approach, passing and retreat effect. Composer, Johann C. Schmid; publishers, H. A. Weymann & Son, Edison Jobbers in Philadelphia.
995 My Lou — Winter Garden Stella Mayhew and Billie Taylor It takes a good vaudeville pair to be featured at the New York Winter Garden, and the Mayhew-Taylor combination certainly "made good." This duet was one of their best songs this season, and they sing it admirably with an orchestra accompaniment. Billie Taylor composed the piece, which is published by J. Lehman & Company, New York City.
996 That Coontown Quartet Premier Quartet Wonderful "harmony" singing of a new ragtime tune which is being featured by Emma Carus and other stars of the vaudeville stage. It has a fascinating movement which is interrupted to introduce strains from old favorite quartet songs, while the orchestra accompaniment is temporarily suspended. Music by Jean Schwartz; words by Grant Clarke. Published by Jerome and Schwartz Publishing Company, New York City.
997 Your Own Dear Kiss Elizabeth Spencer A delightful song of love, set to the familiar and popular Neapolitan serenade, "O1 Solo Mio"
by di Capua. The song is far above the ordinary love song, and receives full justice in its performance by Miss Spencer. Orchestra accompaniment. Publishers, Shapiro Music Publishing Co., New York City.
998 When I Was Twenty-One and You Were Sweet Sixteen
Joseph A. Phillips and Chorus Williams and Van Alstyne are making this song the feature of their repertoire, and success is coming their way at a great rate. It is a captivating march song with an irresistible swing to it, which is sung in capital style by Mr. Phillips and an exceptionally clever chorus composed of Elizabeth Spencer, Bieling, Murray, Porter and Hooley. Orchestra accompaniment. Harry Williams and Egbert Van Alstyne wrote the music and words. Publishers, Jerome H. Remick & Company, New York City.
999 Peggy Gray Manuel Romain
Thurland Chattaway has become known to all who dwell in the world of music, as a writer of unusual merit. This popular composer's march song, "Peggy Gray," has enjoyed exceptional success. We have recorded it with bells and trilling birds to heighten the already delightful effect of Mr. Romain's performance. Orchestra ^accompaniment. Published by the F. B. Haviland Publishing Co., New York City.
