12 EDISON PHONOGRAPH MONTHLY, OCTOBER, 1915 Oberammergauer Zither Trio SPLENDID, NEW EDISON TALENT ON BLUE THE OBERAMMERGAUER ZITHER TRIO This unique organization has made its appearance during the past four or five years in nearly all the larger cities of the United States. Its members hail from the Bavarian Highlands, Bavaria, the home of the zither and the guitar, as well as of the yodlers themselves. Their instruments are quite peculiar looking; their voices all good and lusty as well as harmoniously musical. In the September list of Blue Amberols they contribute record 2679, "Josephine Polka." It is excellently recorded and certainly a very attractive selection. ANITA RIO (Soprano) Mme. Anita Rio, the American Prima Donna, is an artist of international fame. Not alone has she a very warm place in the hearts of the American public (as she has sung in almost every large American city) but she has also won triumphs in opera and concert in many important European centers. She made her debut at Covent Garden, London, with Mile. Emmy Destinn and John McCormick. Her "Good Bye" record (28214) in the September list, is one of the most artistic ever recorded. ARTHUR C. LICHTY (Tenor) As a Scotch comedian, Mr. Lichty has scored notable successes in the South, where he toured recently with the Morrison Opera Co.
