Three are sung in Italian, one in French and one in German. The names of two new artists appear in this list, Robert Blass, basso, and Giuseppe Campanari, baritone. Mr. Blass is a member of the Metropolitan Opera House, New York City. He sings in German and Mr. Campanari in Italian. The latter sang in the Metropolitan Opera House for five years and is now engaged in concert work in this country. Both are artists of high rank. Prior to a year ago, many requests were received from the trade for a series of really first class grand opera records, sung by high grade artists in their own languages. The National Phonograph Company has now supplied the demand. Its list of Edison Grand Opera Records comprises fifty selections from the leading operas, sung by artists of world-wide reputation. Now, are you doing your share in letting the public know about them? Are you carrying a stock and are you doing what you can to push their sale? Are you in a position to fill orders for them after we have created a demand by advertising? Edison Grand Opera Records are an unqualified success from every standpoint, but we want them to be even more successful. We want every dealer to put in a stock and then go after the patronage of the people in his city or town who demand the music of the great composers. Supplement No. 5, issued in February contained a complete list of the forty-five Edison Grand Opera Records issued to that time. Get some of these from your Jobber, together with a supply of supplement No. 6, and put both in the hands of some of your best people. NATIONAL PHONOGRAPH CO. TWO USEFUL LISTS. Emile Gamier, an Edison Dealer at 1601 N. Robertson street, New Orleans, La., issues two lists of much interest to the Phonograph trade. One is a monthly catalogue giving the numbers and titles of every talking machine Record made in this country, no matter by whom manufactured. It is kept corrected from month to month. It is sold by supscription at three dollars a year. The other is a list of about 600 popular sonars, of which Mr. Gamier supplies printed copies of the words for five cents each. These are printed to supply the demand of hundreds of talking machine owners who want the words but will not pay the price of sheet music.
