The Edison phonograph monthly (Jan-Dec 1908)

Edison Phonograph Monthly, Oct., 1908 19 Advance List Of Three More Edison Records by Harry Lauder Z ALDER Records will be ready for shipment from Orange on or about October loth. Samples will not be sent. Jobbers' stock orders received by October $th will be shipped as fast as possible after October loth. All first orders will go by freight. Because Mr. Lauder will first appear in New York and vicinity, the usual order of shipment to Jobbers will be reversed, that is, shipments will first be made to Jobbers nearest to New York City, those located farther away getting attention later. Shipments will be made at one time to all Jobbers in the same territory and it is hoped to complete the shipments within ten days. Special Supplements and Bulletins will be shipped with Records to all Jobbers ordering them. Lauder Records may be placed on sale by Jobbers and Dealers as soon as received. HARRY LAUDER, the famous Scotch comedian, will return to America in October and make a twelve weeks' tour of the principal cities, opening at a New York Theatre, on October 1 2th. This fact has induced us to put out three more of his Records. These are in addition to the four issued in September and the seven put out in February last. Mr. Lauder is already widely known in the United States and Canada, both because of his personal fame and the prominence gained by the tremendous sale of the Edison Records made by him. His salary of $5,000 a week is one of the largest ever paid to a vaudeville star. His appearance in the principal cities here is going to create a new demand for his Records, and every Jobber and Dealer should see that his stock of Lauder selections is complete and ample. 13757 That's the Reason Noo I Wear a Kilt This selection, starts with an explanation by Lauder as to the reason for his wearing kilts. He admits that they are not fashionable, but recommends their wear to married men particularly. He says that when he wore breeches the pockets were exposed to too close inspection each night, while he was reposing comfortably under the quilts, with the result that he was stoney-broke every morning. How he made the discovery is told in his humorous way. The selection ranks as a favorite with Lauder — and worthily so. 13758 Inverary Lauder tells in this delightful tuneful selection of his meeting with the "nicest lass that ever buttoned on a frock." He was enroute to Inverary at fair time, and the lass rushed into the same compartment of the train. After asking her name, Lauder invites her to go to Inverary. In the first part of the chorus he sings of how he got "spoony" with Mary and Mary got "spoony" with him. Lauder is unapproachable in the rendition of songs which contain a quaint confession of his "coorting the lass," and the present is a typical example from his repertoire, reminding one, particularly in the chorus, of his "I Love a Lassie." 13759 Callaghan Callaghan was a tailor who made clothes for Lauder, taking his pay in small instalments each week. His work had always been most satisfactory until he made a pair of "pants" for Lauder. They evidently carried with them an evil charm of some kind, for as soon as Lauder began to wear them, his work fell off. He had had them for a "fortnight," when Callaghan called for his money. The scene which ensued is pictured in the chorus, which is a funny play on Callaghan's name.
