RECORDS

A column contributed by the Music Box devoted to criticism of records.

MILENBERG JOYS--SHIM-ME-SHAWABBLE: McKenney's Cotton Pickers do a real fast and furious job for Victor.

* * *

TWO LIPS --HALF WAY TO HEAVEN: Reminiscent of something or other that came out about 1917. Done by Johnny Hamp and not badly.

* * *

THAT'S WHAT I CALL KEEN --I'M MORE THAN SATISFIED: The former, in spite of the name, has an interesting piano interlude. But what a name.

KING FOR A DAY --OLD MAN SUNSHINE, sung by SAM COSLOW. Coslow is billed as the "Broadway, Minstrel", has a good voice similar to Harry Richman, and a pair of agonized eyebrows. The record however, Isn't so hot. Not Coslow's fault--just a poor recording. Watch this boy.

DON'T CRY BABY --IS IT GONNA BE LONG -- Frankie Marsters Orch, Rotten.

* * *

SWEET ELLA MAY -- THERE'LL NEVER BE ANOTHER YOU: Jacques Renard's best record in a long time. A marvelous lilting melody on the "A" side.

* * *

T'AIN'T SO, HONEY, T'AINT SO.-- DEEP RIVER RLUES: The former number the composition of the singer--who incidentally plays his own accompaniment. Willard Robison is one of the finest and most intelligent negro blues singers that we have heard.

The Motion Picture REVENGE contributes REVENGE and DOLORES. Both Waltzes, OK. REVENGE is also available in a vocal against a gorgeous musical background (directed by Nat Shilkret) by Franklin Baur.
