Nick Lucas Puts Jolson's Sympathetic
Sob in His Warm Guitar While Playing
BY Walter ID. Hickman

the "mammy' touch to the singing
Of popular tunes and now comes
Nick Lucas with his own sympa-
thetic touch to his guitar.
While Lucas fingers his guitar in
several new numbers, am sure that
you will find a new sentimental
quality to his instrumental work as
we'll as his singing.
noticed that in his new Bruins
wick record which includes Look
ing at the World Through Rose
Colored Glasses" and Let Me Live
and Love You Just for Tonight"
This Looking at the World" tune
is really taking the world by storm,
at least Indianapolis. When my
friends drop into my fiat to have a
musical evening I find that they
want to dance to the strains of
Nick Lucas and his guitar.
The photograph is so developed
and constituted that it is mar
velous instrument to dance to. The
fact is L can't carry a tune on my
toes, or even in bushel basket, but
the, photograph makes possible
grand and glorious evening at
home. 1t may not be so grand and
glorious to my neighbors, but I trust
that all the world loves melody, pro
vided silence reigns after a given
hour.
But am speaking sincerely when
call attention to getting the best
out Of your record library. One can
dance to about any kind Of music
these days. People dance while or
chestra members sing.
And that makes it possible for
Nick Lucas to become so popular
for home dancing with the phono-
graph being the medium.
Another recent Lucas Brunswick
record includes How Many Times?"
sentimental and sweet, and, Sleepy
Head" which has been a pleasant
little sob affair for many months.
These two records probably shows
up Nick Lucas at his best.
Irish Records
Irish music is again in much de-
mand on the radio and on the phono-
graph. Have been asked to list some
OF the newer Irish records.
This time I rely upon a list sent
me by Columbia. which is as follows:
The The H HiS & pt, tie swsst Brown KnOwe"
NJ Seamus O'Doherty.
" 1T, It's The The Last Rose Of Summer
Banjo Duet-,-"Medley Of Irish Reels"
Comic sketchEM7 ondFrnlnn a s-d H9pEan's"
"ceide MeiIs iFaltue,',, zone Hundred Thou
Nell Flahsrtyss DrSlS o.T0,,,
,",Riekett's, Hornpipe"
College Hornpipe."
Sullivans Shamrock Band.
do not contend that these are
new Irish tunes. but they have inter
national appeal and are done by art
lists who specialize to a great extent
in this form of melody.
Another Rethberg
Want to call your attention to
Elisabeth Rethberg singing two
standard numbers for brunswick.
The numbers in question are Eel
egy," by Coursen- Massenet, and
ANGELS Serenade." by Willard
Braga.
In the "Elegy" number you will
find Max Rosen brings out the voice
beauty OF the singer as we'll as the
| compositions.
II you are looking for better art
lists, then Rethberg should be in your
library.
