"Joseph and his Brethren "- Bacchanalian Dance Adolf Schmid

RECORD of singular beauty ; a performance

A that reaches the very highest standard of orchestral playing and recording.

L/

Sir Herbert Tree's latest production, a religious drama in four acts by Louis N. Parker, constitutes one of the great actor-manager's biggest triumphs. The setting is on the usual lavish scale, and the incidental music, specially written by Adolf Schmid, breathes throughout an exotic Oriental spirit.

The " Prelude " is a striking work, containing many novel effects. The broad, richly-woven me'1odies are redolent of the Nile : stately processions seem to be wending their way templewards.

A theme one notices permeating the music is based on a hymn supposed to have been composed by King David himself ; these devotional strains give more than a touch of majesty to the record.

A most enchanting effect is that of the introduction to the Bacchanalian Dance--here great mandolins and guitars are used,tinkling bells intro- duced ; the recording of these difficult instruments is perfection itself. The rich tones of the sarrasophone (something like but bigger than the saxophone) give remarkable body

Clarence Whitehill

T HIS celebrated Grand Opera

artist, now so popular with record buyers, gives us one

of the best pieces in his repertoire. " The Calf of Gold " is one of the jewels of " Faust."-We are in the full bustle of the Fair Scene, where in front of an inn a crowd of drinkers are listening to one of their number singing a rathercoarse ditty concerning a rat ; Mephistopheles springs in upon the revellers and offers to sing a song of his own. After the diabolically suggestive introduction

by the orchestra, with its semi-quavers and descending

chromatics, we hear the bold opening passage of this anthem in praise of Mammon, of which the Calf is symbolic.Whitehill's

rendition is a most spirited one ; the vigorous phrases are sung with a full appreciation of their caustic raillery. The tone of the record is excellent, and its beauty is enhanced by the splendid accompaniment of the orchestra under the baton of Mr. Percy Pitt, Conductor at the Royal Opera, Covent Garden.

BREEZY song typical of the singer. How Mr. Chas. Tree does enjoy singing

songs of the country-side ! We usually expect to be told of the charms of a miller's daughter or the virtues of a worthy old nag ; the well-known baritone is here in his element.

" The Happy Farmer" is one of the most charming from Somer- vell's "Songs of the Four Nations." The words are pretty and the sentiment appealing.

Chas. Tree's singing is a thing to remember, his flexible, ringing

voice being heard to the finest advantage. (Speed 79)As I was ploughing my father's field, Across the hill came Marjorie ; The farmer's eldest son was I. The miller's daughter she. [hied, She greeted me kindly as homeward she I prayed she would linger and walk by my

side, [cried, " Come back, come back, come back," I " And follow the plough with me.

'Twas up the furrow and down the next, Companion sweet, tripped Marjorie, I ploughed the field with might and main, Could labour lighter be ? But sweetest she looked in the sunset red, With her little white hand on my good

nag's head ; "Stay always here, my dear," I said, " And follow the plough with me.'We've long been wed, and the farm's our own, With cows, and sows, and horses three; The happiest man alive am 1, The happiest mother she. If sorrow and care for a moment divide, I've a charm that will bring her at once to my side, " Come back, come back, come back, my bride, And follow the plough with me. (Ilarold Boaclion

W. H. SQUIRE AT THE LONDON PALLADIUMSensational Success of Famous 'Cell'st

Squire, virtuoso of the 'cello, has scored a triumph for himself and for music generally ; he has been prevailed upon to appear for a few days at the London Palladium,

and has been the success of the evening at each appearance. Relying on no adventitious aid of a scena or special setting, the artist gains his effect by sheer beauty of playing. " La Danza," which is offered in this supplement in record form, is the feature of his performance. Every one of the 16 records he has made for us is superlatively lovely

dancing the Tango

H ERE'S a sparkling record by that sparkling artist,

George Grossmith. It's the Clou of the evening at every performance of " The Girl on the Film," which is packing the Gaiety nightly-theatre- going London is applaud- ing it rapturously.

To an insidious Tango measure this popular light comedian warbles his smart verses on the rage of the season. Allusions to the Peeress who wrote the anti-Tango letter to the" Times," to the quaint names of the steps, cause laugh on laugh. Tommy, penniless, turns his Tan- going abilities to account : contracts a Tango mar- riage -his wife "burns to learn every turn." The tune is the catchiest little Tango - burlesque ; the chorus sets every toe going. A record that all England will welcome.

2-033039 Tout en Rose Vincent Scotto

T HE Palace Theatre sud- denly found its-If the cynosure of all eyes-or

rather Gaby did-when the Bishop of Kensington declared that her little sketch, "A la Carte," was not all it should be. The papers were full of it, some agr;ed, some disagreed. The charming little lady seized a pen and wrote a passionate letter of protestation to the dailies, declaring that the sketch was harmless to the ordinary mind. What a pother, la la !

With difficulty we persuaded her to make a record of this charming little Parisian song, with a lilt of its own and an all-round appeal. Everyone can enjoy it. Her dashing style of singing is very fascinating, and all of a sudden she ceases her pretty French and murmurs in the quaintest of English, " Naughty B'y ! " A reallylovely record by an artist of OWN
