16 Edison Phonograph Monthly, April, 1912
Edison Amberol Records
50 CENTS EACH IN THE UNITED STATES; 65 CENTS EACH IN CANADA
1015 Buffalo Bill's Farewell March New York Military Band
A breezy, characteristic march, breathing the spirit of the West in every note of its swinging rhythm. Various "Wild West" effects add color to the rendition. Music by William Sweeney. Published by M. Witmark Sons, New York City.
1016 The Chambermaid Irene Franklin In addition to the three Irene Franklin Records in our April list, we are now offering this pathetic tale of a too-trusting "chambermaid." Miss Franklin's specialty is the singing of character songs, and her wonderful cleverness has marked her as supreme in her chosen line. Burt Green, who always accompanies her in her stage performances,
is at the piano. Music, E. Ray Goetz; words by Vincent Bryan. Publisher, Leo Feist, New York City.
1017 Texas Tommy Swing Billy Murray and Chorus "The rhythm of the Grizzly Bear, the inspiration of the Loving Hug and the abandon of the Turkey Trot all blend in the harmony of the Texas Tommy Swing" — so say its publishers. Any who heard it sung in the Ziegfield Follies of 1911, and those who hear
it for the first time on our Record will agree. Orchestra accompaniment. Words and music by Harris and Brown; publishers, Jerome H. Remick & Company, New York City.
1018 Do You Remember the Last Waltz? Irving Gillette A charming waltz tima ballad, of English origin, which is being sung in vaudeville
to excellent advantage by Violet Dale. Irving Gillette has caught the spirit of the piece and makes one of the best of his many fine Records. Orchestra accompaniment. Music by Bennett Scott; words by A. J. Mills. Published by Jos. W. Stern & Company, New York City.
1019 Seated Around An Oil Stove Murry K. Hill Another clever vaudeville "sketch," almost telling of the sad, sad fate of fourteen children who were seated around an oil stove. The words are decidedly witty and they are delivered with great clearness by Mr. Hill, who is without question one of the cleverest monologists before the public to-day.
1020 The Darkies' Ragtime Ball Collins and Harlan Once again this pair of Edison favorites presents a rattling good ragtime duet, the title
of which is explanatory of its general character. The song was composed by Geo. W. Meyer who wrote "There's a Dixie Girl Who's Longing for a Yankee Doodle Boy" (Amberol No. 885), and "Nothing to Do Until To-morrow" (Amberol No. 957). Words by Jack Drislane. Orchestra accompaniment. Published by F. B. Haviland Publishing Co., New York City.
1021 "So So" Polka — Xylophone Duet Charles Daab and William Dorn This is the first xylophone duet ever recorded on the Edison, but it need not depend upon its uniqueness for popularity, as it is a very clever special arrangement of one
of the most tuneful works of Philip Fahrback, Jr., a popular German composer of dances and duets, and writer of "Always Gallant Polka" (Amberol No. 34). It is particularly notable for the remarkable clarity of tone which has been reproduced with truly marvelous fidelity. Orchestra accompaniment. Published by Carl Fischer, New York City.
1022 Say "Au Revoir" But Not "Good-Bye" Will Oakland and Chorus A beautiful old time ballad which seems destined to live forever in the hearts of the sentimental, for it never fails to win -applause wherever performed. It is perfectly suited
to Will Oakland's unusual tenor and makes an exceptionally sweet Record with the attractively arranged refrain. Orchestra accompaniment. Words and music by Harry Kennedy.
*1023 They Gotta Quit Kickin' My Dawg Aroun' Byron G. Harlan and Chorus
The Missouri Houn' Song, as this selection is familiarly known in the Ozarks, though by no means a new song, has attained national prominence during the last few months. Its sudden popularity is due to its adoption by the Champ Clark cohorts as a presidential campaign slogan. The remarkable features of the song itself are the ridiculous words and the peculiar droning manner in which they are sung. Harlan has caught the spirit of the song capitally and, with the assistance of a male chorus, renders it in the most approved Missouri fashion. Orchestra accompaniment. Music by Cy. Perkins; words by Webb M. Oungst. Published by M. Witmark & Sons, New York City.
1024 Jimmy Trigger — Soldier Golden and Hughes
One of the funniest and most original sketches that this favorite pair of comedians has ever produced. It introduces army effects of different kinds — drums, fifes, etc., making a highly entertaining Record.
