It is built upon a melody that is as dreamy and rhythmic as any olive-tinted danseuse of old Spain could wish for. As usual with Spanish and Mexican dance music, castenets are introduced with fine effect to emphasize the dance tempo. Composer, Charles J. Roberts; publisher, Carl Fischer, New York. 9925 Let Me Crown You Queen of May with Orange Blossoms Manuel Romain A picturesque love ballad that vividly recalls Record 9728, "When It's Moonlight, Mary Darling, 'Neath the Old Grape Arbor Shade." The music is by the same composer and serves equally well to bring out all the latent sweetness of Romain's fine tenor voice. To hear this Record is to wish to own it. Orchestra accompaniment; music, J. Fred Helf ; words, Bartley Costello; publishers, Helf & Hager Co., New York. *9926 Take Me Out to the Ball Game Edward Meeker The base-ball hit of the season — a home run at least. Katie Casey is a true-blue, dyed-inthe-wool base-ball "fan," and can give her big brothers pointers on "rooting" for the home team. Sh-j'd rather munch peanuts on the bleacheries than caramels at a matinee — which is saying * ~ood deal for a girl. Meeker must have taken Katie to a game or two, judging from the interest he takes in singing about her. The tune is a jolly, infectious one and you get every word. Orchestra accompaniment; music, Albert Von Tilzer; words, Jack Norworth; publishers, York Music Co., New York. 9927 Dancing in the Barn Edison Military Band A new interpretation of an old-time favorite greatly in demand for the reigning barn dance, which seems to have come to stay. The Band has succeeded in making a remarkably good Record, loud and clear in tone with the rhythm perfectly marked. Publishers, Thompson & Odell, Boston, Mass. 9928 Hugo Ada Jones Here is more proof that Ada Jones' versatility has no limit. This charming entertainer can sing an Iri«h song "to beat the Dutch," and then turn right around and sing Dutch to beat the Irish. That may seem like a very difficult feat, but there will be no room for doubn after hearing "Hugo," which is her latest Dutch dialect song. A winning combination of genuine comedy with a pleasing waltz tune that suggests the most musical of Vesta Victoria's English comedy songs. Orchestra accompaniment; music, Ted Snyder; words, Edgar T. Farran ; publishers, Ted Snyder Co., New York. 9929 Sim and Sam, the Musical Coons Len Spencer and Mozarto A racy vaudeville sketch. Sam and Sim are a pair of vivacious coons who get back at one another with a lot of witty ragtime repartee leading up to some clever musical stunts. The latter are done by Mozarto, the European vaudeville performer, who was tempted to visit America by the large salaries paid here to artists in his line. He plays about every type of * This selection will be illustrated on cover of September Phonogram.
