EDISON PHONOGRAPH MONTHLY. THE MARCH RECORDS. A FEATURE of the March Records was No. 8349, "Dream of the Tyrolienne" (Traum der Sennerin), a violin and flute duet by Eugene Jaudas and Louis Atz. The latters' names appeared among the Edison talent for the first time. This Record is the first good violin and flute duet ever made and our Record Department is delighted over its success. The air of the selection is exceedingly pleasing and it is played artistically, the instruments blending finely, yet each retains its individuality throughout. The Record is one that is certain to sell largely. This March list gives one selection by Alfred Campbell, who will be remembered as one of the former favorites among the Edison talent. Another feature of the list is No. S347, "Hiawatha," played by the Edison Concert Band. This has become widely known in the music trade as the $10,000 composition. It is a charming air and must become very popular. Additional single copies of the Phonograph Monthly will be mailed to the trade upon request. We cannot send copies to others. HOW WE " FOLLOW UP."
