"Cryin' for the Carolines," from "Spring Is Here." "Nobody's Sweetheart," from "The Vagabond Lover." THE big news of this month is that John McCormack has newly recorded, on Victor Red Seal records, four of his numbers in "Song o' My Heart." They are: The Rose of Tralee Ireland, Mother Ireland I Feel You Near Me A Pair of Blue Eyes The four numbers are on two double-faced discs. They are as good as any records John has ever made, and Victor has a tremendous list of them, exclusively. Until Love Comes Along LOVE COMES ALONG Bebe Daniels Lee Morse and her Blue Grass Boys Victor Victor Night Winds Bebe Daniels Bebe is getting better, disc by disc. These two numbers from her musical picture are beautifully sung. MAMMY To My Mammy Gene Austin, tenor Victor Let Me Sing, I'm Happy Looking at You John McCormack Records Four Songs HONEY In My Little High Hatters Victor Hope Chest Photoplayers Columbia Sing, Photoplayers Columbia You Singers Charleston Chasers Columbia Two of the frothy, light numbers from Nancy Carroll's latest picture — "Sweetie's" successor. The first is a ballad — the second, a chorus piece. The Columbia Photoplayers get better with each record. PTJTTIN' ON THE RITZ Gene Austin, tenor Victor Waring's Pennsylvanians Victor Gene Austin, tenor Victor Waring's Pennsylvanians Victor While we are waiting for Al Jolson to put his latest movie music on the wax, these numbers, sung by Gene Austin and played by Fred Waring's band, will do nicely. They are all Irving Berlin's songs, from the score of Al's latest singie, and are all in the old master's best popular manner. And that's plenty good. PARAMOUNT ON PARADE Sweepin' Coon-Sanders Victor the Clouds Orchestra Away The Photoplayers Columbia Anytime's Phil Spitalny's the Time to Orchestra Victor Fall in Love Last month we told of the arrival of a Dennis King record of "Nichavo," one of the songs from the big Paramount revue. Here are two more hits therefrom, done by dance bands. Phil's effort is particularly fine, he having a smart band and being a smart boy. More records from "Paramount on Parade," one of the Spring's really big pictures, are on the way. Puttin' on the Ritz All by Brunswick There's Danger in Your Eyes, Cherie Singing a Vagabond Song With You Well, here you are — Harry Richman himself singing the hit songs of his United Artists picture for the wax. Richman sings mighty well. And you'll be interested in hearing Clara Bow's boy-friend (ex?) singing the numbers he does on the screen. Burtnett's band accompanies him. HOT FOR PARIS Sweet Nothings of Love Merle Johnson and his Columbia Ceco Couriers A piping hot number played with the lid off by Johnson and his blistering band. Hot like the McLaglen talkie. THE GRAND PARADE Molly Charles Lawman, tenor Columbia Ipana Troubadours, band Columbia Huntley's Orchestra Brunswick A nice Irish number, in waltz time. A smooth, easy and pretty piece, getting very popular. From Pathe's minstrel picture. Every advertisement in rllOTOPLAY MAGAZINE is guaranteed.
