DANCE RECORD NOVELTY

In the past six months, fox-trotters and one-steppers have been enjoying many novelty dance records. Among the most popular were series of rec ords issued by the Brunswick company, played by the Mound City Blue Blowers. This unique organization produced what is termed the hottest" dance music, by using a comb, tumbler and banjo.
 The Brunswick company have just issued another novelty which will un- doubtedly meet with just as great pop ular favor as the records by the Mound City Blue Blowers. This new idea in dance music is "Go Long Mule," which is so inspiring to the orchestra that made the recording that they uncon- sciously began to laugh, with the result, a perfect laughing dance record was recorded.
