Naylor's Seven Aces—Hugo (fox-trot) (William-
son-Goold-Silver) and You (fox-trot) (Wohlman and
Cooper), Naylor's Seven Aces. Naylor's Seven Aces
will be welcomed by all Gennett dance lovers. Their
combination of instruments and style of rhythm is

body.
Bailey's Lucky Seven—Mindin' My Business (fox-
trot) (Kahn and Donaldson) and If You'll Come
Back (fox-trot) (Ehrlich and Layton), Bailey's Lucky
Seven. The taste for a lively dance tune is well
satisfied in these two new numbers by Bailey's Lucky
Seven and there is gaiety and fun for all.
The new foreign records are: Soledad (fox-trot)
(Paco Alvarado) and As Rojo (fox-trot) (A. Vega
Matus), Velez y su Orquesta, on record S-5321.
