Is the vogue Of the dance dying outP

Is the vogue of the dance dying out?
Apparently not, II the wide distribution
and varied production OF dance records is
any Indication.
OF course, many of these lively and tune
full records, especially the medleys are pro.
cured and enjoyed by thousands who do
not use them for dancing at all but there
Us no doubt that dancing is as popular as
over in the homo.
A falling off In public dancing, especially
IN restaurants, has indeed occurred. but this
is as It should be- for the home is where
the young people should dance.
The arrival Of the warm season brings
| no perceptble decrease in the demand for
dance records, and the public apparently
keeps right on with It's "one.stepping" and
| "foX-trottlng" during the summer on the
summer cottage and hotel piazza. on the
| lawn, in the. "old red barn" on the yacht
| and even on thA smooth beaches by the
! rolling surf-everywhere is heard the lively
| strains of dance records which have re.
| placed other Accomplishments for dancing
| purposes.
The Vctor's summer selection of dance
records Is a strong one and includes three
nedleys made UP of the most popular songs
OF the month; n brilliant potpourri from
Mizsi Hajos's new success. "Ppm Pom;
new numbers by Davis. McCarron. Smith
and MacClute; besides the western dance
hit "walkin' the Dog"
For August, the Victor Military Band
submits six one-steps and fox-trots in
Guiding such medeys as "Arrah Go on. I'm
Gonna Go Back TO Oregon" "G.oadEg Up
the Mandy Lee" and Johnny Get Girl"
The "ole Virginny Onc-Step" is another
number which is certain TO give satsfac-
ton.
Columbia is especially strong In waltz
records, which is interesting ii, view of the
renewed vogue of the valse."
Floating on the fragrant wings of |
southern Roses" a new Strauss waltz, |
lately rec -rded by the Columbia Company, |
one cannot tell what trend thought may |
take. Perchance II cottage built for two, |
hid In nest Of roses, or an air castle near |
the sunny sea. Southern Roses" cm-
bodies the chivalrous spirit Of the romantic |
South. Its lifting rhythm holds appeal |
that will not wane when summer has
passed into autumn.
Columbia again records that other
Strauss masterpiece of dance music, "Blue
Danube" that lovely, dreamy waltz, for
years known as the accomplce of Cupid
the waltz that has assisted at more pro-
posals than all other waltzcs put together
Even If you're not in position to de-
mand any more attentions from Cupid and
his satellites, If you are just looking for
dance music you don't want to overlook
the blue Danube" It's one of the best
of the new Columbia records.
Every person who went to the Panama
Pacific Exposition knows the Royal Ma
rimba Band.
Medley of waltzes," by the Royal Ma
rlmba Band, is new Columbia record,
recommended for summer nights
South American players drumming their
South American Instruments, on your own
porch, meath your own vine and fig tree
a lazy chair, the moon winking syly.
Sounds pretty good doesn't 1t?

the best waltzes recorded by Columbia
