Danny Deever (Damrosch) Werrenrath
Damrosch’s well-known setting of the famous Barrack Room Ballad of Kipling’s, which Mr. Werrenrath de¬ livers in a highly dramatic way ; giving one of the most graphic and realistic renditions which has ever been heard on the concert stage.

Dear Old Girl (Morse) Richard Jose
Death of Nelson, The (Braham) Harold Jarvis This famous song was composed by John Braham about 1810, and formed part of the comic opera. The Ameri¬ cans, produced at the Lyceum Theatre, London, in 1811. The stirring patriotism of the number insured its success at once ; but it has besides unusual dramatic qualities — such as its effective commencement in recitative, and the refrain, quoting the immortal words of the great commander. Dixie (Emmett) Harlan-Stanley
The record opens with a lively drum roll, followed by the familiar melody, which is greeted with hearty cheers. What is there in this old air which stirs the blood of North¬ erners and Southerners alike and forces them to cheer it — as they always do ? It is splendidly sung here.
Dixie (Emmett) Whitney Quartet
Another fine record of this favorite air, not as loud as the preceding rendition and. sung unaccompanied. Dreaming on the Ohio ( piano acc .)

A soprano who

can give a song the
proper expression and yet pronounce the words distinctly is the rarest of phe¬ nomena. In Mrs. Wheeler the Victor presents a soprano whose diction is really remarkable: and this fact is quite 10 evident in the rec¬ ords she has made.
After hearing Mrs. Wheeler's first records, the Victor Company at once secured her exclu¬ sive services for disc 10 work; and she will sing a number of old favorite songs, besides, many of the popular ballads.

MACDONOUGH
Mr. Macdonough is one of the most popular singers on the Victor staff. His correct method of singing and the clearness of his diction are most refreshing in this age of careless enunciation.
The Macdonough list contains a wide range of selections both stand¬ ard and popular.

Stanley-Macdonough 12
Balfe’s setting of the famous poem is a most dramatic one, and these two Victor singers have made a record of it which is positively thrilling.

It was written by Luigi Denza, the well-known composer of concert songs, and the original words cele¬ brated the opening of the funicular railway to the summit of Vesuvius.
