Edison Phonograph Monthly, Jan., 1910 New Edison Record Talent POLK MILLER POLK MILLER'S "OLD SOUTH QUARTETTE" We regret that space will not permit us to dwell at length upon the respective talents and career of each of these lecent accessions to the ranks of our talent; a tabloid description is all that can be given. Jack Pleasants is one of our British artists and a comedian of high repute. His delivery is peculiarly droll and rendered more effective by the nice little inflections and suggestive pauses he employs. Polk Miller and his "Old South Quartette" of genuine negroes in old-time plantation melodies have been heard in almost every city of note in the country. Marie Dressier is concededly one of the funniest and most original comediennes the American stage has ever produced. She has been particularly successful in the delineation of certain types of everyday life, one of which will be imitated by her on a Record shortly to be listed. H. Benne Henton, saxophone virtuoso, is acknowledged to be the world's greatest artist on that instrument. His technique is a marvel of precision and agility, while his tonal production has been pronounced by critics to possess a quality comparable to the purest human voice of like register. H.
