The Edison phonograph monthly (Jan-Dec 1913)

EDISON PHONOGRAPH MONTHLY, JUNE, 1913 13 READING NOTICE FOR AUGUST LIST OF EDISON BLUE AMBEROLS (Nearly all local papers will be glad to print this as news, and the favor may be had for the asking.) The popularity of Harry Lauder grows greater and greater. He has endeared himself to his American audiences. Additional interest attaches to the six Edison Lauder Records in the August Edison Blue Amberol List, since it is announced that his present trip to the United States will probably be his last, as he will soon retire from the stage. Those who enjoy hearing him (and who does not?) will certainly want these six Records: — "She's My Daisy;" "Good-Bye Till We Meet Again;" "Just a Wee Deoch and Doris;" "It's Nice When You Love a Wee Lassie" and a "Wee Hoose 'mang he Heather." Irene Franklin, another always popular singer, contributes four exceptionally happy hits: "I've Got the Mumps;" "The Talkative Waitress;" "I Want to be a Janitor's Child;" "I'm A-Bringing up the Family." Among the light opera selections are, "Favorite Airs from Erminie" by the Edison Light Opera Co.; "My Hero — The Chocolate Soldier" by Elizabeth Spencer. "You Can't Play Every Instrument in the Orchestra," from "The Sunshine Girl," by Maurice Burkhart; "Then You'll Remember Me," from "The Bohemian Girl," by Charles Hackett. There are a number of excellent comic songs: "Welcome Home," by Anna Chandler; "Whist-ling Jim," a coon song by Ada Jones;|"SnookeyOokums" by Collins and Harlan; "Famous Songs from Irish Plays," by Walter Van Brunt; "Down on Uncle Jasper's Farm," by Steve Porter and Byron G. Harlan; "And the Green Grass Grew All Around," by the Premier Quartet; "Aloha Oe" by Toots Paka's Hawaiians. Manuel Romain sings "Garland of Old Fashioned Roses." Helen Clark and Harry Anthony (John Young) are heard in "Ship of My Dreams," while Charles W. Harrison has a fine tenor solo entitled "Last Night was the End of the World." Some sentimental songs are: "As I Sat Upon My Dear Old Mother's Knee," by Will Oakland; "The Lover's Quarrel," by Walter Van Brunt; "She Sleeps 'Neath the Old Ohio River," by Anthony and Harrison; "You're a Great Big Blue Eyed Baby," by the Premier Quartet; "Where the River Shannon Flows," by Will Oakland; "Father O'Flynn," an old Irish melody, by Frank Croxton; "Ragtime Violin," by the Premier Quartet. Among the instrumental pieces are "Chanson Triste," by Victor Herbert and his Orchestra; "Jim Lawson's Medley of Reels" (a violin solo) by Charles D'Almaine "Dreams of the Tyrolienne," by the Venetian Instrumental Quartet; "Sweet Dreams of Home" (bells solo) by Charles Daab; "My Little Persian Rose Medley" (a two-step for dancing) by the National Promenade Band; "On Parade Medley," by National Guard Fife and Drum Corps; "The Glow-worm," by Edison Concert and "Invercargill March," by the New York Military Band. The sacred selections include "Agnus Dei" sung by Marie Rappold; "Jesus Lover of My Soul;" "When the Roll is Called up Yonder" and "Beautiful Beckoning Hands." The three latter are rendered by the Edison Mixed Quartet. SPECIAL SAPPHIRE REPRODUCER FOR AMBEROLA V IN Bulletin No. 132, dated February 17th, 1913, in Phonograph Catalog (Form 2305) and in the Amberola V Folder, that instrument is described as being suitable to play wax Records, when equipped with a sapphire point. This does not refer to the regular Model "N" Reproducer, the construction of the Reproducer Arm and Lift Lever being such that the sapphire arm in the regular "N" Reproducer, touches the Record, and the lift lever will not raise the thin weight of the present Model "N." In order to give the Dealer every possible advantage in the sale of the Amberola V, we have designed a sapphire point reproducer which closely resembles the present Model "N." This speaker has an especially designed weight that is operated by the lift lever in the same manner as the Diamond "B" Reproducer and requires no change in the present reproducer arm on the Amberola V. It will be designated as Model "N-56" and all orders for this special reproducer should indicate both letter and number. PRICES Dealer — United States, $1.75; Canadian, 32.2S. List— United States, £2.00; Canadian, 32.60. This arrangement does not limit the purchasers of the new Amberola V to the comparatively restricted choice of the Blue Amberols, but opens up the whole Edison Record Catalog to them. Incidentally, it provides another outlet for your stock of wax Records — if you have not already cleared them up to a considerable extent. Have you given Home Recording a fair trial? Have you tried to interest both your old customers and your new prospects in it? If not, you are losing valuable time.
