Pryor's band. Two. rousing song medleys, contining eleven of the most popular vocal hits of the year, with solos, duets and choruses in attract i've variety, are given by the Victor Mixed Chorus, and will be a real en joyable treat to all who enjoy the me lodious popular songs of the day.
 Eight minutes of music and mirth are equally divided on a double faced record by the Victor Minstrel comp any with it's coon songs and laugh provoking jokes, and by Golden and Hughes who discuss some recent mil itary adventures Elsie Baker gives tender and beautiful presentation of two fine old love songs.

 Instrumental numbers are extreme ly abundant in this August list and a great variety of instruments are rep resented. A remarkable performance of Schubert's Ave Maria is given as a violin solo by Miscna Elman-it is played with tendernes and much beauty of tone and the pianoforte ar preggjos. suggestive of the harp. are delicately played by the accompanist, Percy B.
