Because Of our work. we often

that ct some time-maybe years
after our generation and even

Some people thought it would be
lovely: others were very polite
but raised a mental eyebrow:
others were sure it could not be
done by one person except through
one of the large established re-
cording companies.
Because of one reason or an
other the large recording COM
panies were not interested. and ]
concluded that If music boxes
were to be recorded. I would have
to do 1t. My husband and I put
a carefully checked music box
weighing over 100 pounds and
about 80 inches long. in the back
OF the car and drove down tc

health. Our two girls. Hilaire,
IL, and Elise. 8, at that time,
often took my place in the kitch-
en- and. 7 am sure, turned out
the most palatable meals that
found their way to the table.
Each Of those days seemed to
bring some new exciting event
one morning when we turned on
Arthur Godfrey's early morning
program, there he was playing
my Silent Night" record and
saying how much he liked music
boxes! Then Jinx Falkenberg
came to Pelham to record q spot
of our music boxes and the records
for her morning program. Alec
Templeton played the records and
told me they were the most cher
ished In his large library. And
as walked to our little church
here in Pelham for the Christmas
eve midnight service, there were
the strains of "O-SanctisSima"
and Silent Night ringing through
the air from my record on the
church tower broadcasting sys-
tenn! Words even now cannot
express the deep emotion this
aroused.
Right here a little bit Of history
comes In. When Mr.. Edison's
talking voice" came on the
market about so years ago. music
boxes. among other musical in
struments in the home, were dis
carded in favor of the wonderful
new talking machine. The phono-
graph really put the music box
business out Of the picture. Now
here. so years later. this really
rare and beautiful music is rein
troduced to the world by means
of the most modern phonograph
and record player. Call that what
you may-there must be q name
for 1t!
We followed our first album
with an album OF religious selec-
tions, and another of old favorites.

bers for children. we have just
