Popular Songs and
Dance Music on
December Special
Extra List Issued by Edison
Comprises Numbers That
Are In Great Vogue

The great advantage of special
issues of Re-Creations is that OF
timeliness, and the Edison Decem-
Der Special has that quality. To
bring out the dance and song num-
bers while their freshness makes
them enjoyable is the accomplished
purpose of the Edison Company.
The subtle appeal of Arabian
ton that will be extremely popu-
lar as a fox trot. For that type of
dance, music with a flavor of the
magical East always seems appro-
pirate and dance inspiring. The
Green Bros. Novelty Band retain
the Oriental atmosphere, but they
infuse into it the real, up-to-date
spirit of the fox trot.
Coupled with the above is
waltz few will be able to resist.
From the Vanderbilt Hotel in New
York, Max Fells' Della Robbia Or
chestra has been recruited to re-
cord "Wyoming'. There is an I'M
usual grace and refinement in this
number, made more beautiful by
the gracious tone of the orchestra
LII ltS VI oou CLLC\to. L lis
Recreation is a veritable gift to
the followers Of Terpsichore.
To those who would couple a fox
trot and one-step, the Recreation
of "Armorita-Fox Trot" and Bow
Wow-One-Step", is offered. Am
orita" is unique in that it might
be called the "encore" fox trot,
because the orchestra stops play
ing in the middle of the Re-Crea-
ton, just as is customary at a
dance. After brief interval, suit
able for applauding this fine num-
Der, the encore" begins and con-
tinues to the end. The dance
room effect is thereby conveyed
realistically. Lenzberg's Riverside
Orchestra gives this music in lively
and animated fashion, and in good
taste. "Bow-Wow-One-Step" is
compelling dance number from tn
first notes to the last. The Vie
doeft-Wadsworth Quartet, two saxo-
phones and two pianos, play this
effective and irresistible number.
This December Special surely
meets all desires, for here waltz
and one-step are joined. Bud
dies-Waltz" is taken from that
musical play which showed the
daily lives of our boys in France
The best two numbers from the
show are here united, please
Learn to Love- and Fairy Tales.
Lenzberg's Riverside Orchestra
provides that full mellow tone
which is SO suited to the waltz.
The Green Bros. Novelty Orches-
ira makes "Oriental Stars-One-
Step. It's one-step movement in
Oriental strains is that meeting of
East and West which always ap-
peals in modern dance. The plea
sure derived from this selection
is for both dancers and others,
for there is a lovely melody de-
livered exquisitely.
Distance lends enchantment and
romantic lOngings, as we learn
from those two now popular songs,
"Tripoli' and Moonlight in Man
dalay". The former is sung by
Helen Clark and George Wilton
Ballard, in COntraltO and tenor
duet. Over fine accompaniment,
they join their voices in harmon
lOuS union. M OOnllglt In Man
dalay" has a romantic charm in
song and story that is wildly felt
in this Recreation. The Home
stead Trio sing this number in
such manner that the love senti-
ment is felt amid all the magic of
that faraway land.
Two songs about the colored
nanny" complete this interest
ing list. A tenor solo by Reese
Jones. "Td Love to Fall Asleep
and Wake Up In My Nanny
Arms, is the song of a wanderer
from Dixie who recalls the tender
charm Of the lullaby of his man
N.Y. far away "Mammy's Good
Night Lullaby gives the Crescent
Trio an opportunity to bring the
| full warmth of their voices to this
lovely song. Their harmony con.
veys all the charm of this song
Songs of nanny and her lullabies
| never seem to lose their appeal
and when lyrics are written in
such appropriate words to such
| lovely melodies as these, the ex
| PLANTATION is not hard to find. You'll
| find these new numbers at Harri
sons Edison Section.
