GENNETT RECORDS FOR JUNE
An Array of Winners and Profit-Makers in New
List Just Out.
The keen observation of the popular taste in music
by the management of the Gennett record department
of the Starr Piano Co., Richmond, Ind., is again
apparent in the bulletin of Gennett records for June.
The list is delightfully varied in classical and popular
nunVbers. The success of records recorded by Henry
Moeller guarantees the success of the new ones.
Henry Moeller's choice of songs and his artistic ap-
preciation of just how to most effectively present
their beauty has won his way into the hearts of count-
less music, lovers. His new records are looked for-
ward to eagerly each month. For June his selections
are "I Hear You Calling Me" and "Mother O' Mine,"
which are appropriate and highly desirable numbers
for displaying the remarkable qualities of his voice.
Two records by Henry James provide splendid va-
riety to the Gennett record collection. Harry A.
James, monologist and story-teller, is an English-
man by birth. His humorous monologues and stories
will be welcomed particularly by every former dough-
boy as he entertained more than a million of them
during the late war, and millions of radio fans have
laughed at his "Englishman at the Ball Game" and
other selections. Being an Englishman by birth he is
able to interpret the English accent which gives to
his monologues and stories a distinctiveness that can-
not fail to please. Two records for June are by Mr.
James. One is "An Englishman at a Ball Game,"
with reverse "An Englishman's Idea of American
Wit."" The second record has "Is Marriage a Fail-
ure?" with reverse, "When Knighthood Blooms."
Two favorites on one Gennett record makes it sure
of big sales. They are: "La Paloma" (Spanish Sere-
nade), and "La Golondrina" (Condon popular), both
played by Gonzales' Mexican Rand.
Record 5068 is a big seller among the June presen-
tations. It holds "Killarney" and "The Foggy Dew,"
both sung by the young Irish tenor, Emmett O'Toole.
The latest in popular songs are always to be heard
on Gennetts and by the most popular of singers.
This month there are first numbers by Billy Rey-
nolds, tenor, Murphy and Shea, tenor and baritone,
and Viola McCoy, all of which are sure to please,
and the old favorite of Gennett record buyers,
Aileen Stanley, has provided "Seven or Eleven." in
her delightful soprano.
Of course the music dealer is again aided in sales
of dance music by the alluring June offerings in
Gennett dance records. Here are some: "Sugar
Blues" and "Beale Street Mamma," Ladd's Black
Aces, Shufflin' Phil sings the chorus; "Marcellonie,"
Joe Samuels and his orchestra; "Wet Yo' Thumb"
(fox trot), Bailey's Lucky Seven; "By the Shalimar"
(fox trot), "Wonderful One" (waltz), Call of the
North Orchestra; "Carolina Mammy" (fox trot), and
"Everything Is K. O. in K. Y." (fox trot), Bailey's
Lucky Seven—Ernest Hare sings the chorus; "Gypsy
Lady" and "Pay Day Blues," Bailey's Lucky Seven;
"Wolverine Blues," and "Weary Blues," New Or-
leans Rhythm Kings, formerly Friar's Society Or-
chestra.
Here are a few more: "Snake's Hips" (fox trot),
and "Down Among the Sleepy Hills of Tennessee"
(fox trot), Bailey's Lucky Seven; "The American
Romantic" (shimmy fox trot), Harmony Val-
ley Orchestra; "Non, Non, Jamais les Homines"
(one s t e p ) , Gonzales' Mexican band; "Mar-
cheta" (fox trot tango), and "La Mome Tango (fox
trot tango). Nathan Glantz and his orchestra.
J. F. BOYER MET SHRINERS.
James F. Boyer, secretary and treasurer of the
C. G. Conn Co., Ltd., Elkhart, Ind., had his head-
quarters at the Homer L. Kitt Co., 1330 G street
N. W., Washington, D. C, during the entire Shrine
week, where he received his friends and members
of all Shrine bands. A notice to that effect was
printed in Washington newspapers by the Homer L.
Kitt Co., which is one of the most enthusiastic repre-
sentatives of Conn instruments.
