Edison Phonograph Monthly, April, 1912 17
1025 Pucker Up Your Lips, Miss Lindy Campbell and Gillette
Albert Von Tilzer's new coon love song has "caught on" as have so many of his compositions. The same pair who popularized his "Good Night, Mr. Moon" (Amberol No. 1000) on the Edison, performs this catchy melody in first class style, with a delightful orchestra accompaniment. Words by Eli Dawson; publishers, the York Music Co., New York City.
1026 Boston Commandery March Edison Concert Band A good snappy march — an old-timer — introducing "Onward Christian Soldiers" in capital martial time. This selection on our Standard list has always been tremendously popular. Music by T. M. Carter.
1027 Golden Deer Metropolitan Quartet
Percy Wenrich won undying fame with his great "Silver Bell" (Amberol No. 576) which has never lost its hold upon the public. This new Indian love song of his is similar in style to his earlier triumph, and is easily its equal in popular favor. The mixed quartet, to whom the making of this Record was intrusted, has rendered the piece in capital style, with a most appropriately arranged orchestra accompaniment. Words by Harry Williams; publishers, Jerome H. Remick & Company, New York City.
1028 Bring Back My Lena to Me — "He Came from Milwaukee" Maurice Burkhart Sam Bernard always scored a great "hit" with this song in "He came from Milwaukee," and Mr. Burkhart has very cleverly imitated his German dialect in this humorous selection. Orchestra accompaniment. Words and music by Berlin and Snyder. Published by the Ted Snyder Company of New York City.
1029 I Long to See the Girl I Left Behind Manuel Romain A very pretty little sentimental song of the type which never fails to gain wide popularity. The favorite Edison tenor "shines" in songs of this type and is particularly good
in this one. Orchestra accompaniment. Words and music by James Thornton. Published by M. Witmark & Sons, New York City.
1030 Everybody's Doing It Now Premier Quartet Irving Berlin has again broken out with a "rag" and it has immediately jumped into line with his other great "hits"— "Alexander's Ragtime Band" (Amberol No. 817) and "Ragtime Violin" (Amberol No. 966). The Premier singers had lots of fun making this catchy Record. Orchestra accompaniment. Published by the Ted Snyder Company of New York City.
1031 A Woodland Serenade Edison Concert Band (Reed only)
One of the most remarkable Records which we have yet listed is this serenade of Mascheroni's. It is played by only the reed section of our band — a distinction held only by "Whispering Flowers" (Amberol No. 137). The composer is a well known Italian musician who died in London a few years ago. This idyl is an adaptation of the original song which won world wide popularity, and was frequently numbered among Adelina Parti's favorite selections. Director Ecke of the Edison Concert Band has achieved a veritable triumph in recording this remarkable piece in so striking a manner.
1032 Gypsy Love Song — "The Fortune Teller" Frank Croxton and Mixed Chorus
"The Fortune Teller" is one of Victor Herbert's typical musical gems and it scored a well-deserved triumph when produced at the Casino in New York. This charming song occurs in Act II, where the first part is sung as a baritone solo, the second part being performed in concert, the chorus assisting in the beautiful refrain, "Slumber on, My Little Gypsy Sweetheart." Orchestra accompaniment. Words by Harry B. Smith; published by M. Witmark & Sons, New York City.
1033 Never the Maiden Dreamed — "Mignon Charles W. Harrison
"Mignon," the most melodious opera written by Ambroise Thomas, was first performed at the Opera Comique, Paris, in 1866. The one thousandth performance was held in the same theatre in 1894, in the presence of the composer. Mr. Harrison sings in English the exquisite tenor Romance Song from Act III. Orchestra accompaniment.
1034 Long, Long Ago — With Variations (Flute Solo) Julius Spindler
Bayley's old favorite melody has been arranged with variations by W. Popp, making it even more charming than ever. Julius Spindler, one of the most accomplished flute solbists in the country, gives a remarkable exhibition of technical skill and musical interpretation in his performance. Orchestra accompaniment.
1035 (a) Recompense (b) Roses in June Reed Miller
"Recompense" is a striking bit of superior composition by William G. Hammond. Its melody is exquisite, reaching a splendid climax, while the words, by Kent Knowlton, are of real poetic beauty. "Roses in June," by Edward German, an English composer, is a delightful contrast to the first song, in its sprightliness and bubbling joyfulness, being (Always specify on your orders whether you want Amberol or Standard Records.)
