Brightness and clever orchestration are features of many of the new dance records. ) T HE following may be recommended for their tunefulness and rhythm;—“Cooking Breakfast for the One I Love” (foxtrot) and “When a Woman Loves a Man” (fox-trot), played by Cummins and bis New Yorker Hotel Orchestra; “With You” (fox-trot) and “There’s Danger in Your Eyes” (fox-trot), played by Waring’s Pennsylvanians; “Moanin’ for You” (fox-trot), played by Coon Sanders Orchestra, and! “Molly” (waltz), played by Ted Fiorito’s Orchestra; “Puttin’ on the Pitz” (fox-trot), played by Leo Pieisman’s Orchestra, and “Singing a Vagabond Song” (foxtrot), played by Skelkret’s Orchestra; “Bunky Doodle-I-Doh” (foxtrot) and “We’re Uncomfortable” (fox-trot), played by Jack Hylton’s Orchestra; “Sweeping'the Clouds Away” (fox-trot), played by Coon-Sander’s Orchestra, and “Any Time’s the Time to Fall in Love” (fox-trot), played by Spitalnev’s Orchestra. Popular Theme Songs. Several of the latest theme songs, sung by some of the most popular recording artiste, are to band this month. The American tenor, Johnny Marvin, is heard in “With You” from the picture “Puttin’ on the Eitz,” and from the same film James Melton maks l es an outstanding number of “There’s Danger in Your Eyes, Cherie.” These are grouped on one record. Johnny Marvin is again to the fore in “Happy Days Are Hero Again” from “Chasing Rainbows,” and “Blue Eyes” (Get Bed, Eed, Ready lor Love). There is no doubt that he has a style of Ins own. Favourites of Yesterday. Jack Hylton and his orchestra have issued another record of “gems” from the music hall songs of yesterday. These clever musicians enter into the spirit of these old favourites, and the vocal refrains are worked in very cleverly. The numbers on the latest disc include “My Irish Molly 0,” “Following in Father s Footsteps, “Sue, Sue, Sue,” “Silver Threads Among the Gold,” “She Cost Me Seven and Sixpence,” “We All Go the Same Way Home,” “Ivc Made Up My Mind to S ail Aw ay, “Waiting at the Church,” “Two Little Girls in Blue, Killarney, “I Want to Go to Idaho,” and “Let’s All Go Down the Strand. Gilbert and Sullivan Gems. The Light Opera Company has added another record to its list of “gems” from Gilbert and Sullivan with a twelve-inch disc of selections from “The Yeomen of the Guard.” There is splendid quality in the voices of the soloists, and the chorus is well balanced, with excellent tonal effects. Among the numbers recorded are; “When Maiden Loves,” “A Man Who Would Woo a Fair Maid,” “Hereupon We’re Both Agreed,” “Didst Thou Not, Oh, Leonard Meryll,” “When Our Gallant Norman Foes,” “When a Wooer Goes a-Wooing,” and I Have a Song to Sing O.” Every artist in the company is imbued with the spirit of Gilbert and Sullivan, and there is the real G. and S. atmosphere in this disc. Catchy Numbers. Two variety artists with plenty l of verve and originality, Dora Maughau and Walter Eehl, provide bright entertainment in “Tie a Little String Around Your Finger.” In this song a young man’s proposal for marriage is rejected in a very modern way. Their second j run nher, “Don’t Be So Unkind, lis another catchy air, and the humour is again very quaint.
