Show I H RECORDS FOB w ne icie As his second Columbia offering, Rlcardo Stracclari has sung "Dio Pos-H Pos-H Eente," from Faust. It was many years ; ago that Qounod wrote, In the song Wm With which Valentine bids his sister jnB good-bye, "Even bravest hearts must B ' swell, at the mention of farewell," but HB r those words have deep meaning today J ' In almost every country of the world. WM ; 1 It Is a big song, and nobly rendered 9H by the great Italian baritone. bM "Irresistible" Is the right name for jgB the big one-step hit, "Hello, My H ; Dearie." whistled by everybody who 9H i has heard it In the "Ziegfeld Follies &9 of 1917," where It registered a large BM 1 ; and instantaneous success. It Is of- !v8 ; fered by Columbia In the November . list of new records, with another one- vrM ; step, "Chjng Chong," on the other r'at B'e' 'ie ter s an oa oriental composition, In which gongs boom- m weirdly arajd the swirl of the danpe . f'3H melody. Both selections are played by fKyJfrince's band. I A fine and inspiring appeal to patriotism pa-triotism is "Your Country Needs You Now," sung by M. J. O'Connell for Columbia, and found In the November offerings. But also it's highly amusing amus-ing although it seems likely that many members of the fajr spx who listen to It will call the niithqr a "rppan thing," When he says, "You turn the ', lights down low, you think she's awful i slow, but she's fqrgotten niqre about ! It than you will oyer know," does he fipeajt from experience, pr hparsay, or j: what? The record doesn't tpll, but he f seems to Know a lot of interesting things, wherever his Information comes from, and they are sung very clearly as well as musfcall by Mr. O'Con'nell. Coupled with this selection is "SaUIn' Away on the Henry Clay," a rollicking ditty of the gpod old be- fore-the-war days on the Mississippi, rendered by George H. O'Connor. Whistled by millions, played on dance floors in every country of the world, a favorite of theater orchestras for more years than tho present generation gen-eration likes to recount It would be hard to find a piece of standard music which is also more deserving of the term "popular" than Czfbulka's beautiful beau-tiful "Stephanie Gavotte." Played by tho Columbia Symphony orchestra, it is an ideal piece of dance music, which is at the same time a lulling and soothing bit of musical diversion for a quiet evening hour. The same Columbia Colum-bia record carries a charming rendition rendi-tion of Chamlnade's delicate and fascinating fas-cinating "Scarf Dance." oo |
