Best of the New Phonograph Records Disco’s Setections " Diico makes a careful study of all the new records as itsued, and from these chooses the few which he cone siders most desirable. Home Vaupevitte Focal Bec Curer Kittanun. Sung by Collins and Harlan. Rocx-a-Bre Your Basy Wrru a Dixie Metopy. Sung by George Beaver. Emerson-983. Irving Berlin's Tipsnorting brave goes on the war- path after the kaiser. Amid significant whoops it is announced that he will “make him squawk with his tomahawk.” ‘The catchy but less un- usual song on the other side—syncopated stuff— makes a good “also ran.” © Couen Gets Marnizp. Couzn ox His Honeymoon. Two-part monologue by Monroe Silver. Victor 18501. Not as funny as his famous “Cohen on the Tele- phone,” but fun: eat that. After treating of such detail “Three bridesmaids held up the bride’s dress, and two safety pi id up my [exe oxe the ish benedict ‘on to describe is honeymoon at Malaria Junction. Come Atonc, Ma Howey. Sung by Henry Burr and Broadway Quartette. - Sung by Campbell and Burr. Colum- Two tunes share the same side of this record. By the time’ Burr has finished the introductory stanza of “Come Along, Ma Honey,” the quar- tette arrives with “Swanee River,” and they and he continue to the end in amical jultancous- ness. “Liza Jane,” on the reverse, is the sere- nade of an Alabama troubadour. It includes the precious couplet: “Oh, Liza! Get wisa!” Goopsrz, Atexanper. Sung by Collins and Har- la. Eveayrurnc Is Peacues Down 1 Georcia. Sung by Farber Girls. Pathé 20435. No one could dccuse Dinah of not sending him USE THIS CHEST FREE away with a smile. Admiring the manner in which he lifts his feet to the music, she shouts that she'll be waiting “like Butterfly.” And there is a prophetic vision of his triumph, cheered on by “Go git ’em, boy!” and a racket of appre- ciation. This and “Big Chief Killahun” (sung by the same people) are as amusing uproars as we have heard in a long time. On the other side ref lively rendering of one of the season's silliest ts. Litt Lrza Jane. Sung by Harry C. Browne and Peerless Quartette. On, Bors, Carry Me 'Lonc. Browne. Columbia 42622. These old southern banjo songs will still be the real thing when a hundred hits of today are for- gotten. Surtes. Tue Rapiance in Your Eves. Werrenrath. Yacior 45155. There are “Smiles” in all possible arrangements being frantically turned out by all the companics to meet the demand for this tune. We shouldn't be surprised to see it appear next month as a duet for trombone and Jews harp. Murphy's singing of it is the best solo rendering we have heard. Of the song on the other side the best that can be said is that Werrenrath sings it. Sutxs. Sung by Ruth Lenox and Henry Burr. Tur Pickawinny’s Panavise. Sung by Sterling Sung by Harry C. Sung by Lambert Murphy. Sune by Ret: ng by Ri Trio. Pathé 20436. Well, well! Here's “Smiles” again. We include this version also because Miss Lenox is such a charming vocal obbligato-ist, and because the “Pickaninny” is so cheerful. Out, Our, Mani. Sung by Arthur Fields. We Don't Want tue Bacon. Sung by Peerless Quartette. Victor 18505. ‘The first is a catchy song about a flirtation in dough- boy French. The second celebrates the less loving intentions of the Yanks with regard to a certain person from Potsdam. Twat Sooruinc Serexave. Sang by Henry Burr. Ow tue Lever, You're a Lirriz Devit. Sung by Helen Clark and Henry Burr. Victor 18502. The “Serenade” is a touching tribute to the Vic- trola. (The official describer in the Victor catalog is overcome with emotion when he speaks of it.) This song tells how someone was so im- pressed with hearing a violinist play a meloay that he immediately bought a record of it, whic he has been enjoying at home ever since. Modi- fied phrases of Drdla’s “Souvenir” are sounded by a violin to represent the remembered melody. the reverse is an amusing bit of nonsense from the Winter Garden. Instrumental Fomicutt, Funtcuna. Maria, Marta. Played by Louise, Ferera and Greenus. Columbia 2614. Tunes to which you have often eaten spaghetti, tinkled by Hawaiian plunk-a-plunkers. Down Sourn. Pla: by Boynton and Boudini. Buive Beis or LAND. Played by Arthur Prince. Pathé 20433. The first is a contagiously lively minstrel tune, rendered by banjo and accordeon. The second consists of ingenious and fairly interesting stunts ‘on a concertina. 4 ‘Tue Vittace Ban. Tue Nicutincare ano tHe Frocs, American Regimental Band. Pathé 29217. You have often heard the expression “excruciatingly funny.” Well, here is something which is just that. All the painful mishaps to a toot ensemble are burlesqued with shrill realism. The other piece is one of those things that bandmasters delight to call a “characteristic.” Disco will be glad to answer any inguiries from readers of this Eipartment concerning records and phonographs of all mikes. This department will be a permanent feature in Jupce.
