Needless to say this record will help to meet the present craze for Russian t music. The whole world of the opera Is talking talk-ing of the wondrous success of 'Amellta Galli-Curci, the latest of the sreat Victor artists to "arrive." Her triumph during the season of opera just closed in Chicago was of "the kind you read about" a genuine old-time ovation. ova-tion. Galli-Curci has a coloratura soprano voice of extraordinary flexibility and tone quality, and so it is a pleasure to learn that for the first of her three iVictor offerings this month she has chosen that superlative coloratura aria, the waltz song from Gounod's Romeo and Juliet. She does not hesitate to cive us also that test of the coloratura Boprano the Mad Scene from Lucia o test in which many of the foremost coloratura sopranos of the past have jwon their laurels. It Is a song which Idisplays Galll-Curcl's marvelous virtuositybrilliantly vir-tuositybrilliantly and delightfully. Though American opera lovers hope Galli-Curci feels at home with us, for Dur highest honors have been showered upon her, still few singers have so i ri touched hearts with the home longing, r ' ! he m her "Home, Sweet Home," the '' V third of hcr Victor records of this month. With voice of sensuous beauty she sings the old song with a simplicity that will make this a greatly admired record. Close kin to Galll-Curcl's tender Iiome-plalnt, Is Mabel Garrison's "I (Dreamt I Dwelt In Marble Halls," from Jhe beloved old opera, the Bohemian uirl. It is one of the loveliest songs in an opera full of beautiful melody, and Jives on through all the fashion changes of operatic art. Miss Garrison's silvery, Bweet rendition should delight many a home. .t.J!"Lle x'h..nre e"JinR the soothln? though plaintive eweetness of 'Alma Guck'soria from Handel, "Oh Sleepl Why Dost Thou Leave Me?" will U Victor offering: "Come he.oved" from Atalanla, It is an exacting son to which Cluck's wonderfully clear, sweet and bell-like upper tones arc finely adapted.

Instrumental records issued this mor' by the Victor arc two rciab of bygone melodies, "The Vacart Chair' and "I Cannot Sing the Old Songs," a double-faced record by tho Mckec Trio (iolin, 'cello and piano). Conway's Band plays Victor Her'icrt'i "Baltimore Centennial March" a patriotic patri-otic thriller with "Maryland. My Maryland" Mary-land" and "Dixie" both worked into it : and on the other side-is the "I'atrol of the Scouts" with Indian clTccts that boys will like. t When Harry Thomas rags at the piano, few sustained notes escape tearing tear-ing to shreds. "Delirious Rag," a one-step. Is rightly named, and in "A Classical Spasm" he syncopates two veil known piano pieces by Scharwcnka and Padcrewski. "Yaddic Kaddic Kiddie Kaddic Koo" and "Everybody Hula" are rendered rn the ukelclc and Hawaiian guitar by Louise and Fcrcra. Dance to the latest and best when-cer when-cer jou please this is the special joy in a Victrola for the )oung people. And each month the Victor offers enough dance records to keen their feet gliding to new tunes for at k-ast thirty days, or until another lot of new ones comes out. This month Joseph C. Smith and his Orchestra play a double-face, double-face, "Money Blues" a fox trot, and "I'c a Shooting Box in Scotland" one-step; and another double-face record, re-cord, the "Waltz from Drigo's Serenade" Seren-ade" and "Havanola" a fox trot. The Victor Military Band plays two double-face double-face dance records, "It's Not Your Nationality" medley fox trot, and "Honolulu, America Loves You" medley one-step; and "How's Every Little Thing in Dixie" medley one-step, one-step, and "Follow Me" fox trot. rSuch an offering of poDutar songs as the Victor makes fils month is really remarkable. It Includes the latest Broadway successes, songs from tho opera that have become popular through tunefulness and familiarity and fine old sacred songs thirty-eight compositions in all, making nineteen new double-face vocal records. In cuch o list all tastes are pleased. For those who wish the latest and lightest, the songs that hae a big popular vogue, there are among the vocal offerings of-ferings this month, "The Magic o Your Eyes," sung by Charles Harrison, and "My Rosary for You," which Henry Burr sings to a violin obbllgato-A obbllgato-A very tuneful melody is "Tho' I'm Not the First to Call You 'Sweetheart Please Let Me Re the Last," rendered by the Orpheus Quartette; and on the other side of the record is "Where the Black-Eyed Susans Grow" sung byj Campbell-Burr. Reed and Harrison ling "Somewhere in Dixie" and "Silver - Bay" the one tells of the charms of the "South,". the other of a romantic spot where lovers lose their hearts, "Love Will Find the Way" sung by! Reed Miller, and "A Picture of Dean Old Ireland' sung by Charles Harrison, Har-rison, will be delightful to a vast audience audi-ence of the Victor. Two songs bji George MacFarlane, "My Castle in the Air" and "My Old Rose" wiU please, and the Sicilian Serenade from Caval-leria Caval-leria Rustlcana and "Her Heart" sung by Theo Karle are both very beautiful love songs. Also among the notable vocal records are two splendid Hawaiian Ha-waiian numbers by Wright and Dietrich, "Let Alcba" and "My Hawaiian Maid.'! A large and growing part of the nation-wide Victor audience now awaits the Werrenrath records with the enthusiasm en-thusiasm of devotees and surely this month their craving is appeased, for Werrenrath's art is striking in such dramatice colorful and rhythmic songs as the best of the Kipling poems set to music. On his present concert tour, a burst of applause invariably greets "Fuzzy-Wuzzy, music by Whiting, and "The Gypsy Trail" to which Gallo-way Gallo-way set the music This double-face record should make new Werrenrath admirers. There is probably not in the world a greater source of pleasure than the - Victor records. a As pleasure elvers they seem to have taken a place beside books. "What have you read lot the new books?", the question of a few years ago In the conversation of every e d u cated person, is now just as often, of-ten, "What new I Victor records jUcLuca haveyouheard?" Fortunately one an easily keep up-to-date by hearing bis choice of the new records at any, Victor dealer's. Like good booksellers, the Victor dealers are glad to have one' come and "browse" without obligation, knowing that sooner or later the favorites fa-vorites will find a place in the home music library.
