THE MUSIC TRADE
REVIEW
FEBRUARY 9,
From Pagliacci to
Jack o'Lantern
A
LL the world is singing. Our fighters at the
front, their loved ones at home, find inspira
tion and joy in song.
To sing a good song, or hear a good song, is to fight
better, work better, live better.
Columbia Records cover a splendid range in the
field of song. Look at the Mid-Month List for
March—
Stracciari sings the great "Pagliacci" prologue.
The Peerless Quartette appeals to every patriot
heart with "Liberty Bell, It's Time to Ring Again!"
Campbell and Burr blend their voices in "My
Heart's To-night in Old New Hampshire" and
"There's a Green Hill Out in Flanders."
•
Elizabeth Brice and Charles King are heard in the
"Jack o' Lantern" hit, "I'll Take You Back to
Italy."
I
Greek Evans puts a world of sympathy into "That's
a Mother's Liberty Loan."
Lucy Gates, with the able assistance of the Stellar
Quartette, sings Stephen Foster's immortal melo-
dies, "Massa's in de Cold, Cold Ground" and
"Carry Me Back to Old Virginny."
Arthur Fields contributes "Do Something," a song
to stir the stay-at-homes.
Samuel Ash sings "Cleopatra Had a Jazz Band,"
and Gene Green adds in a rollicking postscript
"Alexander's Got a Jazz Band Now."
Your customers are waiting for these. Of course
songs are only part of the Mid-Month list, which
also includes four great dance numbers—"Cali-
coco," "When You Come Back," "Sally Down Our
Alley" and "They Go Wild, Simply Wild, Over
Me."
The first two are played by Joseph C. Smith and
his orchestra, the latter pair by Jockers Brothers,
violin and piano duet.
