The Edison phonograph monthly (Jan-Dec 1916)

14 EDISON PHONOGRAPH MONTHLY, OCTOBER, 1916 Blue Amberol List for November Alive with Quick Sellers IT would be difficult to compile a list of vocal and instrumental numbers more in vogue at the present time than those included in the November offering of Blue Amberol records. The big popular hits of to-day, and the songs that are going to be the hits of to-morrow, are listed there among many other attractive numbers. One of these songs, that just is springing into an immense popularity, is Ernest Ball's latest production, "For Dixie and Uncle Sam," a number that is being sung and whistled at the present time all along Broadway. This same composer is represented on the list by two songs, the other being "Good-bye, Good Luck, God Bless You," a ballad that has taken its place among the classics of its kind and that will not lose its popularity for many years. Many of you have heard of "There's a Garden in Old Italy," "In Dreamy Spain," "By the Sad Luana Shore," "In a Dusty Caravan," "Arrah Go On, I'm Gonna Go Back to Oregon," and "I Sent My Wife to the Thousand Isles." The November Blue Amberol list offers some particularly attractive band and orchestra numbers. The latest waltz hit, "Sunset on the St. Lawrence," is played by Jaudas' Society Orchestra and Sodero's Band gives a fine rendition of Olman's "Spring Bird," an intermezzo with a fascinating melody and some beautiful harmonic effects. It has been a long time since a better march than the "Boomerang March" has been written and the way it is played by the New York Military Band on Blue Amberol record No. 3008 makes that number one of the choicest of its kind listed. The Peerless Orchestra plays "The Dragon's Eye," by Gay, and the "Bantam Step" is a lively fox-trot by Jaudas' Society Orchestra. Two superb concert numbers head this exceptionally fine list. Alice Verlet sings "Ernani ! involami," from Verdi's opera, "Ernani." The music of Verdi always is beautiful and is very popular among people who are fond of melody. The aria sung by Mme. Verlet for the November Blue Amberol list is one of the best known and most beautiful of the many written by Verdi and, after hearing its familiar strains, most Amberola owners will desire to possess it. The other concert number of the month introduces Mary Zentay, an artist who is new to the Amberol catalog. Mme. Zentay is a widely renowned violinist and has the distinction of being among the foremost performers of her sex on this instrument. Her first record for the Amberol catalog is a rendition of "Tambourin Chinois," one of Kreisler's compositions. The number reveals her technical mastery of the violin and the beauty of her tone quality, and it forecasts a wide popularity for her records.
