18 Edison Phonograph Monthly, April, 1912 typical of the spirit of early Summer. Words by Clifton Bingham. Orchestra accompaniment to both songs. 1036 Dreams of Galilee Edison Mixed Quartet C. P. Morrison, composer of this sacred hymn-anthem, is an American writer of numerous sacred choral compositions. This number presents soprano and baritone solos with superb chorus effects for mixed voices, with an excellent organ accompaniment. Words by the Rev. Wm. T. Sleeper. Published by White-Smith Music Publishing Co., New York City. 1037 The Ameer — Selection Victor Herbert and His Orchestra A typical Herbert Record, of the usual exceptionally high standard and particularly interesting in its exhibition of the gifted composer's versatility. It introduces the "Entrance of Ameer," "In Old Ben Franklin's Day," "The Armored Knight," "Cupid Will Guide," "Cake Walk," "Tell Me, Pray," "In Gentle Spring" and "March Finale." 1038 A Song of Love Charles R. Hargreaves Charles R. Hargreaves displays an amazing technical skill in singing this really powerful love song, which though difficult, by no means hides its perfection in its technicalities. The words of the song are by Victor Hugo, while its beautiful melody is the creation of Mrs. Beach. Orchestra accompaniment. Arthur P. Schmidt of New York City is the publisher. 1039 Carmena — Vocal Waltz Frank Croxton Quartet There is an almost irresistible swing to Spanish waltzes, of which this is perhaps the most popular. H. Lane Wilson, its composer, is well known for his excellent concert pieces, and will be remembered as the writer of the celebrated "Flora's Holiday" (Amberol No. 884), which was sung by the same mixed quartet. Orchestra accompaniment. Words by Ellis Walton; published by Luckhardt & Belder, New York City. Standard Records 35 CENTS EACH IN THE UNITED STATES; 40 CENTS EACH IN CANADA 10556 Our Band March New York Military Band A very lively six-eight march which is ideal for dancing, played by the entire band at its best. Music by Charles C. Sweeley. Published by Vandersloot Music Publishing Co., Williamsport, Pa. 10557 Absent Elizabeth Spencer One of the simplest and most beautiful sentimental songs ever written, "Absent" has long been a favorite encore number with many leading concert singers. John W. Metcalf, its composer, is well known as an American writer of high class songs. Orchestra accompaniment. Words by Catherine Young Glen ; publisher, Arthur P. Schmidt, of New York. 10558 Good Night, Mr. Moon Campbell and Gillette This Von Tilzer "hit" has proven so popular on Amberol Record No. 1000 that we are listing it this month as a Standard by the same capital songsters. Orchestra accompaniment. Words by Eli Dawson ; published by the York Music Company, New York City. 10559 They Gotta Quit Kickin' My Dawg Aroun' Byron G. Harlan The already famous Missouri Houn' Song, which also appears in the Amberol list for this month. The Champ Clark slogan is rendered here with the omission of only a few effects made possible by the length of the Amberol Record. Orchestra accompaniment. Music by Cy. Perkins; words by Webb M. Oungst. Published by M. Witmark & Sons, New York City. 10560 Ragtime Violin Premier Quartet Irving Berlin's "Ragtime Violin" still continues to increase in popularity, as our Amberol selection (No. 966) has proven. This Record is performed by the same singers who popularized the Amberol number. Orchestra accompaniment. Published by the Ted Snyder Co. of New York City.
