Edison Standard (Two-Minute) Records. 10008 Christ is Come Edison Concert Band Special Christmas band number. This sacred song is given a most unique and charming setting, which includes a harmonious arrangement for band, a duet by Messrs. Anthony and Harrison, assisted by a mixed quartette in the refrain, and finally the joyous ringing of bells and chimes for Merry Christmas. Music, Sankey-Ecke; arrangement is special for our Record and not published. 10009 Always Me Byron G. Harlan Another "Why Don't They Play With Me," by Chas. K. Harris. A stepchild's "new papa" never pets, but always blames and scolds her. The affecting story of her childish hardships is set to a very wistful tune, which Mr. Harlan sings quite as finely as any of his earlier child-songs. Orchestra accompaniment; music and words, Chas. K. Harris; publisher, Chas. K. Harris, New York. 10010 Taffy Ada Jones We have all dealt in "taffy," giving or receiving it according to sex. Never mind — here is a Von Tilzer song that goes to the bottom of the question and tells what's what in the love game. One of the most "confectionery" things we have heard. Miss Jones has certainly added another tocher list of serio-comic successes. Orchestra accompaniment; music, Harry Von Tilzer; words, Vincent Bryan; publishers, Harry Von Tilzer Music Pub. Co., New York. 10011 Petite Mignon Caesar Addimando A double novelty — an oboe solo by a new Edison artist, who is an acknowledged master of this sweet-toned instrument. This is the first oboe selection we have listed. Many prefer its quaint and dulcet tones to those of any other instrument. The selection is a dainty classical recitative number, more favored, perhaps, than any other for oboe work. Orchestra accompaniment; composer, M. Carman. 10012 When Darling Bess First Whispered Yes Manuel Romain A sentimental love ballad that seems to have been made on purpose to show off the reedlike tone quality of Mr. Romain's voice. The story told is reminiscent of sweetheart days, the hero and heroine being a lad in homespun and a lass in gingham. The Record will easily hold its own with Mr. Romain's best. Orchestra accompaniment; music, J. Fred Helf; words, Robert F. Roden ; publishers, Helf & Hager Co., New York. 10013 My Brudda Sylvest Collins and Harlan One of the best of the Italian dialect songs that vaudeville singers are featuring at present. The irrepressible Collins and Harlan sing it to a rag-Italian tune — something new and decidedly fetching. If their hosts of admirers will ask to hear this. Record, very few will miss the opportunity of taking it home. Orchestra accompaniment; music, Fred Fischer; words, Jesse Lasky; publishers, Fred Fischer Music Pub. Co., New York. * 100 14 Everybody Knows It's There Edward M. Favor Mr. Favor affects the voice and manner of a boy in this unique comic song, and sings a jolly, lilting tune about the mischevious pranks he played on his father, his teacher and the family torn cat. There are three verses and three choruses. Each presents a novel and laughable situation in such a way that "Everybody knows it's there." Orchestra accompaniment; music and words, Dave Reed; publishers, M. Witmark & Sons, New York. This selection will be illustrated on cover of December Phonogr
