RAVEL'S WALTZ

It seems that during the summer Paul Whiteman's RHYTHM BOYS did a job on THAT'S GRANDMA and WA-DA-DA for Columbia. Since nobody buys records then, the release wasn't discovered until day before yesterday when twenty-five of them walked out of our shop.

STEPHEN FOSTER ALBUM: Why anyone could get enthusiastic about MASSA'S IN THE COLD COLD GROUND and OLD FOLKS AT HOME was rather more than we could see until we heard it. But consider! Directed by Nat Shilkert we have the REVELERS, PAUL ROBISON, the JUBILEE SINGERS, VAUGHN DE LEATH and the VICTOR SALON ORCHESTRA, Gorgeous or chestration-one selection melting into another! A perfectly swell album-at six dollars.

Imagine this combination: RUBE BLOOM plus GEORGE GERSHWIN plus THE COMPOSERS AT THE PIANO plus PAUL WHITEMAN plus TWO VICTOR TWELVE INCH RECORDS plus the name METROPOLIS. This is rumored to be released sometime in October. Orders may be placed now on the strength of the rumor.

HELEN KANE, Victor's latest one to eleven Old Howard star continues to carol her way girlishly into the 500,000 sold class. This by the way, at the royalty of four cents per each means about $20,000,00 to the young lady.

The foreign release department hath come thru with SECTRTO ETERNAL on the organ. One of the best.

If you would care to hear what the four million buy, listen to THE BUM SONG-HALLELUJAH I'M A BUM. Garton's, a store in the tougher regions of Boston has sold better than a thousand of them to date.
