PARADISE ISLAND TRIO (N) 1492
MY ISLE OF GOLDEN DREAMS (Waltz)
DROWSY WATERS (Waltz)
Here is a unique combination . . . a Ha-
waiian trio and a massive organ collaborating
together on two numbe rs that will make
"take" history. Finest recording of Hawaiian
numbers we've heard for many a moon. Sw eet,
slow, interesting and exceptionally expressive
of the easy and well regulated evennes s of
the Islands . Very, very good1
LOUIS ARMSTRONG-MILLS BROS, (V) 1495
IN THE SHADE OF THE OLD APPLE
TREE
SINCE WE FELL OUT OF LOVE
Once again the Mills Boys join hands with
Louie Armstrong and the result is highly
pleasing . Novel and interesting. Swell for ops .
FREDDIE FISHER (0) 1501
WHEN MY BABY SMILES AT ME (FT)
NOBODY'S GOT THE BLUES BUT
ME (FT)
You 've heard Ted Lewis do this number on
Columbia . Here is a new and terrifically tor-
rid rendition of the same dittie . Lots of snappv
Jazz breaks . Fishe r ' s band is coming to the
front as one of the finest novelty bands on
records . Second · tune is equally a s good .
Don' t miss this 'un .
LANI McINTIRE (Hawaiian) 1516
LA CUMPARSITA (Tango)
LA ROSITA (Tango)
Until you have heard Mcintire play these
numbers you 've never heard the tr ue , color-
ful , melodious and rhythmic tango a s it should
be played . A natural for operators. A record
that will live for years and years .
HARRY ROY (0) 1507
BUGLE CALL RAG, 12TH ST. RAG,
TIGER RAG (FT)
SOMEBODY STOLE MY GAL,
NOBODY'S SWEETHEART , CHINA-
TOWN, MY CHINATOWN (FT)
Here is another of Harry Roy 's famou s fox-
trot medleys. These records have proven very
popular with the automqtic p a trons. Six old
standard tunes hereon , . and w ell re corded .
Should click big .
'.
JIMMY DORSEY (0) 1508
I GOT RHYTHM (FT)
FLIGHT OF THE BUMBLE BEE (FT)
First is a sw ing version, ove rly swung, of
Ira and George Gers hwin 's supreme e ffort of
a few years back . Second side brings forth
Jack Benny 's compe tish . . . . Jimmy Dorsey on
the saxophone blowing out 20 notes a second
on the closing 20 bars . Lots of folks will in-
vest the twentieth part of a · dollar to hear this
unique feat performed. Good .
JOE DANIELS (0) 1510
MAMA INEZ (Rhumba)
WABASH BLUES (FT)
" Drumnastics " Daniels really does his stuff
on this English recording . Tunes are right up
his majes ty 's alley. Nifty .
DICK ROBERTSON (0) 1512
IN A SHANTY IN OLD SHANTY
TOWN (FT)
I WONDER WHO 'S KISSING HER
NOW (Waltz)
Tw o naturals from the hit library of yester-
year. Thes e discs bear a definite commercial
touch and it's up to the smart op. to get these
into the stack . They'll bring in the coin if
given a chance.
BING CROSBY (V) 1518
WHEN YOU DREAM ABOUT HAWAII
SAIL ALONG SILVERY MOON
Two excep tionally fine vocals with Lani Mc-
Intire and his Haw aiians backing up . This is
Crosby 's first Hawaiian number since " Sweet
Leilani " and while it probably w on ' t be a s
sensational a s eller never-the-less it is equally
as beautiful.
MAL HALLETT (0) 1522
WHEN THE ORGAN PLAYED 0 '
PROMISE ME (FT)
SAILING HOME (FT)
Swellegant dance tunes with vocal chorus es .
Nice arrangements. Easy to listen and dance
to .
TEDDY GRACE (V) 1524
TEARS IN MY HEART
GOOD-BYE JONAH
Sweet and lovely on thl> first side and down-
right swingy and hot on the second side . Miss
Grace ' s voice records beautifully and this disc
s hould draw in the coin .
HARRY OWENS (0) 1528
THE ONI ONI (The Wiggle) Hula
AN ISLAND MELODY (FT)
An odd coupling. First side is a hula with
a predominance of vocal work by the quartet.
Interestin9 ' Second side is a typ ical Hawaiian
foxtrot. Good .

scribes the s inger for in a very short time
Autry has won his way into t),e hearts and
souls of countless thousands . His renditions
and interpretations 'of true western cowboy
numbers are not to be equalled . His original
number "!t ' s Roundup Time in Reno" is his
contribution to the Republic picture " Manhat-
tan Merry-Go-Round ." There 's a ready made
audience waiting for these numbers in every
s ection of the country . Very good .
VICTOR
GUY LOMBARDO (0) 25702. 25709
WHEN THE ORGAN PLAYED " OH
PROMISE ME" (FT)
TEN PRETTY GIRLS (FT)
In the usual Lombardo style these two num-
bers hit the wax as sweet and beautiful as it
is possible to record them. Outside of the
mechanical end of the business these two
numbers are really tops. First ditty has proven
its worth . Second tune, hailing from dear old
England, shows promises . A good disc to risk
a few pennles on .
SWEET SOMEONE (FT)
I WANT TO BE IN WINCHELL'S
COLUMN (FT)
These two hail from the new Winchell-Ber-
nie picture "Love and Hiss es ." Written by
Gordon and Revel you couldn't ask for a
better dance double in sweet, sophisticated
rhythm . Carmen sings .
BENNY GOODMAN (0) 25708
I'VE HITCHED MY WAGON TO
A STAR (FT)
LET THAT BE A LESSON TO YOU (FT)
A pair of promising tunes from the First Na-
tional film " Hollywood Hotel." First is played
at a medium slow swing tempo while the sec-
ond picks up a little and produces a marve-
lous bit of trumpet get-off by Harry James .
Good .
EMIUO CACERES TRIO (N) 25710
I GOT RHYTHM (FT)
HUMORESQUE IN SWING TIME (FT)
A novel combination with new ideas as to
chamber music in swing . Violin, guitar and
clarinet comprise the trio . Very good.
LAllRY CUNTON (0) 25707
ABBA DABBA (FT)
THE CAMPBELLS ARE SWINGIN' (FT)
Clinton dishes up some original Arabian
swing music and combines it with his own
version of " The Campbells ." Splendid ex-
amples of modern swing numbers . Arrange-
ments are solid and hotsy to dance to.
BENNY GOODMAN (0) 25711
CAN'T TEACH MY OLD HEART
NEW TRICKS (FT)
SILHOUETTED IN THE
MOONLIGHT (FT)
Johnny Mercer's numbers get an excursion in
interpretations when Goodman and his good
(?) men let loose on them. Slow blues tempo.
If you 've Goodman spots this one should
please .
"FATS" WALLER (0) 25712
WHAT WILL I DO IN THE
MORNING? (FT)
HOW YA BABY? (FT)
Lots of question marks in the titles but this
is not a questionable record. Thomas "Fats"
Waller collaborated on these numbers and
most certainly the colored gentleman can write
stuff that lits his style. Nuf sed . This disc is
superb. Lend vour ears . " Fats " piano chor-
uses on both sides are terrific.
MELOTONE
CHICK BULLOCK (0) 71207
YOU MADE ME LOVE YOU (I
Didn't Want To Do It) (FT)
OH WHAT A PAL WAS MARY (FT)
New recording of two old timers . In modern
dress they should excite attention. Chick Bul-
lock vocalizes throughout.
VINCENT LOPEZ (0) 71209
ROSALIE (FT)
WHO KNOWS? (FT)
Two Cole Porter foxtrots from the production
" Rosalie ." No deviations from the ordinary
althoug h Lopez succeeds in packing a lot of
swell music onto the wax.

A pair of current raves nicely recorded . A

FAREWELL MY LOVE (FT)
Here is a new novelty tune that features the
trfo in a vocal explanation of a new craze that
has lately taken on in certain circles. Rightly
done. Second side is a sweet melody selec-
tion with Carmen singing the vocals . A double
with plenty on the ball .

This is one of his finest discs in

Ace Harris and his Sunset Royal Orchestra
give a new slant to the old favorite from

vocals on "Who" are unusual and certainly
aovel. Second is an instrumental potpourri of
queer noises . Goo~.

"Yeah? Well, just d on 't try plucking

great s atisfaction at the past twelve
months.
Fully 95 percent of all machines
opera ted in this area now bear the
Association label, and the remaining
few independent operators have shown
signs of realization that the organiza-
tion does help-its members.
In choosing a man for business man-
ager of the organization the member-
ship desired someone with a knowledge
of phonograph operating, and one who
knew something of association needs
and work as well. Their unanimous
selection of Hammond thus met with
the greatest approval ~f every operator
and jobber in the district.
Hammond has been connected with
phonograph operating b oth as a manu-
facturer's representative and an oper-
ator. He knew the problems of the
operator and had a deep, intimate
knowledge of associations formed by
various business groups. It was largely
through his efforts that the Association
was first organized. Mainly in recogni-
tion of his hard work in behalf of the
organization he was offered the position
of business manager. During the short
period tha t he has been acting in his
new capacity Hammond has already
inaugurated several innovations that
have helped the membership.
Outstanding among these is the se-
curing of "spotters" who look for good
new locations where members may be
able to place their machines. He rea-
lized that the haphazard manner in
which many operalors searched for
locations made their finding difficult. No
one operator could hire a special man
to search solely for new locations, but
the organization could, as a whole,
and Hammond put the idea over. It has
already been proved successful by the
fact that whenever an operator has a
machine on his floor he calls the Asso-
