The Edison phonograph monthly (Jan-Dec 1916)

14 EDISON PHONOGRAPH MONTHLY, DECEMBER, 1916 Eight Great Big HitsBlue Amberol Record List for January a Hummer THE year of 1917 is going to be introduced by a supplement of Blue Amberol records that is unsurpassed in quality by any list ever issued for Amberola owners.' Containing eight of the biggest hits of the most popular current Broadway musical comedy successes, a number of the popular songs that are in high favor at the present time, and an abundance of other high class and timely numbers, the supplement is one that will afford Amberola owners a high degree of pleasure and Amberola dealers much profit. The numbers from the reigning metropolitan musical productions are perhaps the feature of the list. "Little Miss Springtime," a very pronounced success, is represented by "In the Garden of Romance," and "A Little Bid for Sympathy," two of the hits of the play. They both are sung by Gladys Rice and Frederick Wheeler. Miss Rice, whose charming renditions of light opera numbers have won her much favor, also sings "Childhood Days" and "Come Back, Sweet Dreams," from "The Girl from Brazil." In the first number she is accompanied by a chorus and in the second one by an orchestra. With Walter Van Brunt, Miss Rice sings "Give Me All of You," from "Flora Bella," one of the most melodious musical comedies of recent seasons. The same production is represented by "You're the Girl," sung by Mr. Van Brunt and a chorus of girls. "It's Always Orange Day in California," from "Canary Cottage," and "Poor Butterfly," from the New York Hippodrome "Big Show," are the other two light opera numbers on the list. The former of these is sung by Irving Kaufman and the latter by Elizabeth Spencer. The popular songs on the list include "O'Brien is Tryin' to Learn to Talk Hawaiian," "There's a Little Bit of Bad in Every Good Little Girl," "In Florida Among the Palms," "Mississippi Days," "Dancing Down in Dixie Land," and "You Wake Up in Chicago in the Morning." They are rendered by such artists as Billy Murray, Ada Jones, Arthur Collins, Byron G. Harlan and Gladys Rice, all popular favorites who are widely known. Among the more classical songs are "A Dream," sung by Hardy Williamson; "I'm a'longing fo' You," sung by Merle Alcock, and "Blue Eyes," which George Wilton Ballard sings with beautiful effect. The dance numbers include the beautiful "La Confession," a waltz with a haunting melody that is becoming widely popular; "Old Virginny" and "Listen to This," two snappy one-steps, and "Hilda," a melodious fox-trot. Two superb band numbers are listed in the New York Military Band's rendition of "The Whistler and His Dog," and "Simplicity," an intermezzo, beautifully rendered by Sodero's Band. The two concert selections of the list are a duet in which Marie Rappold and Jacques Urlus sing Franz Abt's "Weiss ich Dich in meiner Nahe" in German, and a rendition of "Dormi pure" (Sleep On) by Thomas Chalmers, in Italian.
