present song, GODDARD has expressed a
n June sunset, the songs OF birds in
the darkening air, and the whisper Of
gentle winds. 1t is not unusual for
this mood to be portrayed by painters
Through the medium of color, and by
poets through the medium Of words,

Though tentative efforts in this direction
were made by the old masters.
CaruHo, in selecting the Song of
June as his contribution to the new
Victor Records for March, presents
Godard's lovely work to the world with
charm, an artistry and a liquid flow
OF voice admirably BETTING the music
and its inspiration.
What an artist is Julia CuIpl And
Dutch though she be. how she can sing
the old English and Scotch songs
Nine. Culp's new Victor Record is a
favorite melody of Scotland, THE Cot
tage Maid with musical arrangement
by Beethoven, no less The great
master, between more important works,
made very effective arrangements of
some Scotch national airs sent him in
1910 by Thomson, the Edinburgh pub
Usher. Nine. CUPS record is sung in
English, and with her never failing
purity OF voice and winning sympathy.
The opening phrase, Sometimes be

deGogorza's new record. reveals to its
hearers favorite poem, Absent" in
a charming but rather unfamiliar must

Nictrola. This month she appears in
what is to her the novel role of lieder
singer. In LISTS lovely "While |
Sleep she is provided with song
that enables her TO show great inter
pretive powers in music of quiet and
intimate beauty.
Although Dan Emmett's "Dixie" is
decidedly a national favorite. its popu-

Southern song. This month the
Victor offers record of Dixie"
straight from the heart of a Southern
girl who enjoys, too, the honor of be-
ing one of Americas most brilliant
opera singers-Mabel Garrison. Miss
Garrison sings this song with a capt.
waiting radiance of voice and spirit, and
with the accompaniment of the Or
pheus Quartet, she makes a most
stimulating and inspiring record.
Geraldine Farrar is sure to delight
her many admirers by her interpreta-
ton of Jensen's tender, "Murmuring
Zephyrs." The gentle rippling accom-
paniment of the piano in this record Is
in effective contrast TO the clear limpid
tones of Farrar's voice. Particularly
striking are the ringing staccato notes
that leap upward toward the close of
each verse, carrying with them a de-
lightful suggestion OF fairy bells, Mis-
cha Elman's Interpretation of Scar
Iatti's Pastoral" Is n brilliant and
yivacious thing. The yiolinist's active
imagination has enabled him TO see the
piece through the composers eyes, and
he has made of it a delicate, finely
