Christmas Records Feature of December Blue Amberol List
THE approach of the Christmas season is heralded by the Blue Amberol December supplement, which contains a number of choice selections particularly appropriate to the holiday season. The Carol Singers, an organization that has made a number of very fine Christmas and Easter records, is represented on the December list by three splendid numbers that are going to be among the best-sellers during the winter months, particularly during the holiday season itself. "The First Nowel," one of these new numbers by The Carol Singers, is a real carol and, like most of these delightful pieces, its origin is unknown. For countless generations it has been handed down and its long descent alone indicates the beauty and intrinsic merit of it. "Joy to the World," a hymn that is familiar to everybody, is another one of these numbers and the other is "Ring Out, Wild Bells." "Stille nacht! heilige nacht," better known as "Silent Night, Holy Night," is contributed by Mme. Rappold. It is one of the world's most beautiful sacred melodies. "Christmas Morning With the Kiddies," a charming descriptive number, is played by the Peerless Orchestra and "Christmas Eve," a fantasy based on old German carols, is given as a Celesta solo by Robert Gayler. A number that decidedly is in keeping with the holiday season is "In the Toymaker's Workshop," from "Babes In Toy
land," which is rendered by the American Symphony Orchestra. George P. Watson, the renowned yodler, renders the "Santa Claus Song," which is very melodious..
In addition to "Stille nacht! heilige nacht," there are two other superb concert numbers on the list. Yvonne de Treville, the noted French-American soprano, sings "L'Eclat de Rire," by Auber, in French. Christine Miller gives a stirring rendition of "Scots wha hae wi' Wallace Bled!" a patriotic song that might almost be called the Scottish national anthem.
The latest Broadway hits for December are: "Ireland Must Be Heaven, For My Mother Came From There," "I Was Never Nearer Heaven In My Life," "Turn Back the Universe and Give Me Yesterday," "Pretty Baby," "I Never Knew," "On the South Sea Isle," "In Honeysuckle Time," and "For Killarney and You." Among the timely instrumental numbers are "You're a Dangerous Girl" and "The Boomerang," two lively one-steps; "My Sweet Sweeting Waltz" and "Mighty lak' a Rose," two fascinating waltz numbers, and "Battle of the Marne," a heavy descriptive piece played by the New York Military Band. Among the old favorites on the supplement are "Ben Bolt," sung by Carolina Lazzari, and "Annie Laurie," rendered by the Criterion Quartet.
