RECREA TION. xlix 



PROGRAMME— Part I. 



t. THE GARIBALDI HYMN .... BANDA ROSS A 



The famous Banda Rossa of Italy were awarded a special gold medal in a contest 

 with sixty-four of the finest bands of Europe. The Gram-o-phone records made by 

 them are absolutely perfect. 



2. LA SONAMBULA— Clarionet Solo . . Sig. A. P. STENGLER 



This brilliant solo, by the leading clarionetist of this country, is one of the most 

 fascinating of the new Gram-o-phone records.

The concluding remarks from his famous oration at the dedication of the Statue 

 of Liberty, spoken to the Gram-o-phone by Dr. Depew, and acknowledged by every- 

 one as a marvelous reproduction of his well-known voice. 



4. THE MELBA WALTZ— Soprano Solo . . Miss HELEN JENYNGE 



This wonderful record of Melba's beautiful waltz, with all the difficult trills and 

 runs, is by far the finest soprano record ever produced by a talking machine. 



5. LOVE THOUGHTS WALTZ— Trombone Solo . . ARTHUR PRYOR 



The great trombone soloist of Sousa's band was so pleased with records which he 

 had made for us, that he wrote Love Thoughts Waltz expressly for the Gram-o-phone. 



6. THE SPIRIT OF 76 . . WASHINGTON DRUM CORPS 



A patriotic, descriptive selection. First the laughter and voices of the crowd wait- 

 ing for the procession. Next the music is faintly heard, gradually increasing in 

 volume, becoming very loud as it passes. Then a voice in the crowd shouts out, 

 " Three cheers for General Washington," which are given with a will, as the 

 procession passes by. This record is very realistic.

This well-known patriotic song splendidly rendered by New York's popular baritone.

 ensemble playing that has made the Banda Rossa one of the greatest musical 

 organizations in the world. 



15. A HUMOROUS TALK . . • . HAPPY CAL STEWART 



A story in Yankee dialect of a farmer's visit to New York. He goes to the theatre, 

 but can't stay through the entire performance, as he sees by the "hand-bill"
