The Edison phonograph monthly (Jan-Dec 1910)

18 Edison Phonograph Monthly, Nov. , 1910 10457 All That I Ask of You Is Love Helen Clark Mezzo.-soprano with orchestra accompaniment. A sentimental song of the better class with an attractive, pleading melody, which is rapidly winning vogue. Miss Clark possesses a mezzosoprano voice of velvety quality and an easy, artistic style, which have won her an enviable reputation in concert and church work. Her first Record for the Edison catalog was Amberol No. 570, "The Man in the Silvery Moon." Words, Edgar Selden ; music, Herbert Ingraham; publisher, Shapiro, New York City. 10458 You're Mine, All Mine Ada Jones and Billy Murray Conversational duet with orchestra accompaniment. A story of boy-and-girl flirtation with the usual result. The characters are excellently well assigned and it is hard to convince oneself in hearing the Record that it is not actually being sung by a maid and youth of tender years. The delightful "swingy" melody of this song is carrying it to popularity. Words, Richard Henry Buck; music, Theodore Morse; publishers, Theodore Morse Music Co., New York City. 10459 Flanagan's Courtship Steve Porter Vaudeville sketch. In his inimitable style our old friend Flanagan tells us how he came to marry "Pauline Joy," who objected to his calling her "a thing of beauty," perhaps because of the harrassing fear that she" might remain "a Joy forever." After a raft of like comicalities, Flanagan recites a pathetic poem entitled "The Rat in Pauline's Hair." A very entertaining and sure-to-be-popular Record. Composer, Steve Porter. 10460 The Bell Gavotte Charles Daab Bells solo with orchestra accompaniment. A graceful, sprightly number in gavotte tempo executed by Mr. Daab with the same superior artistic skill which has made his previous Records notable. Composer, M. Watson; publisher, W. H. Cundy, Boston, Mass. 10461 Dear Old Ma Will Oakland Counter-tenor solo with orchestra accompaniment. A song of tenderest sentiment — a son's reverential memory of a mother's loving care awakened by her empty chair standing in the fire-light's soft glow — framed in an appropriately sweet, flowing melody. M'r. Oakland's singing is thoroughly in sympathy with the sentiment of the song. Words, Bartley Costello; music, Ernest R. Ball ; publishers, M. Witmark 8c Sons, New York City. 10462 Wonderful Words of Life Anthony and Harrison Baritone and tenor with orchestra accompaniment. Among devotional numbers this wellknown hymn has always held a favorite place, and the interpretation given in this instance will be found in every respect worthy of the selection. Words and music, P. P. Bliss. 10463 Rag Baby's Gwine To Be Mine Maude Raymond Coon song. The prospect of soon claiming his "Rag Baby" on the Mississippi shore is the inspiration of this coon's exuberance of spirits, expressed in typical darkey dialect and animated two-step melody, full of vim and tune. Maude Raymond, the perennial vaudeville and musical comedy favorite, sings it in her most entertaining style. Words, Ballard Macdonald ; music, Libbie Lee; publishers, Jos. W. Stern & Co., New York City. 10464 Cotton Time Collins and Harlan Coon duet with orchestra accompaniment. A vision of the Louisiana cotton fields in "cotton time" is offered in this tuneful number, made more realistic by steamboat whistles, clog effects, etc. The song has a rattling good two-step swing. Words, Earl C. Jones; music, Chas. N. Daniels; publishers, Jerome H. Remick & Co., New York City. 10465 Southern Ideal March United States Marine Band A vigorous, virile march of good tone and volume. Its animated rhythm is well defined by this famous organization whose playing is marked by snap and precision. Composer, J. C. Heed; publisher, Carl Fischer, New York City.
