Lidldle) Co. -ýZ042057 There is a green hill In Mr. Sydney Coltham we present to you a new tenor of exceptional gifts. Well-known on the concert platform, he promises to become a favourite among favourites as a record-maker : his pure, fresh, agreeably natural voice and artistic use of it are a sheer delight. His first two titles are magnificent : the airs are classics, and Mr. Coltham's singing of them bids fair also to become classic. A debut of notable achievement.

Mr. Paul Astor, who holds a position in the musical world second to none, renders Liszt's celebrated " Liebestraum " and Thome's exquisite " Simple Aveu " in most brilliant style. His touch is as crisp as his "execution is sure and artistic, and the recording of his playing is well-nigh perfect. This pianoforte record will doubtless be one of the most popular ever t issued.

The charming phrases of these fine songs are delivered with characteristic beauty by accomplished Peter Dawson, and the record is a delightful one from every point of view. It is Peter Dawson (exclusive to Zonos) at his very best-and that is saying a lot, as we all know ! WILL OAKLAND with Orchestra 1 In the -io:,nüii; C. X-2-42)62 -t Wait ti11 The celebrated counter-tenor has made two of the biggest hits of his life in " Wait till the clouds roll by" and " In the Gloaming." The sentiment of these songs and the telling manner of their singing go straight to the heart, and you'll not be happy till you've made the record yours. Will Oakland has never been recorded so happily before-to get him always at his best, get him always on Zonophones 1 MANUEL ROMAIN with Orch. and Bells Httni:'lc we t;) the chi the Old Church I Delis WILL OAKLAND with Orchestra K-? -1?(;1.ý 11>e 1oi. est way rom d is the ;«veet- est wav home Yet Famous another famous name for Zonophones ! on two Continents has as a counter-tenor, Manuel Romain not only a 1 onaghosie ÄnStruezze;u-.t,% have " ýcsoye a,. `}:; 5 phenomenal voice but also a splendid style of delivery. The title with which he makes this auspicious debut is marvellously fine and will prove hugely popular, we haven't the shadow of a doubt. He is recorded superbly, and with a grand Will Oakland title as companion is tremendous value-Zonophone value-for half-a-crown. HERBERT PAYNE with Orchestra 127,37 I do love iii- Grange Girl ý-'7 (Trevor & Mellor) (Francis, X3-42738 When the Xmas Bells are ringing One of the very biggest hits of recent years is " I do love my Orange Girl." Everybody has heard it already, and before many weeks are past it will have become a national affair. The pantomimes will have it for their greatest feature : it's a ripping song. Here it is Zonophonists served for in the finest possible manner-by tuneful Herbert Payne with a splendid chorus. The title accompanying it is almost as good. No. 1 182 will reach phenomenal sales, sure ! WALTER VAN BRUNT with Orch. KiiT home N 2,- -4ý r:;9 r11cv, my o'er the ;c:L 11 S3 Zý_42740 As long as the Shanirocl. grows (,recs. At a bound this fine artiste has sprung into the front rank of record- making tenors, and little wonder, for his excellent voice is backed up with a unique style-clean, clear-cut, telling, distinct to the slightest syllable. The two songs he sings for December are charming, every line of them pleases. We cannot too highly recommend this record, which will achieve sensational success. All Zonophone Instruments " new have goose -necks 6 I-, , -5 The nation has been on the qui vive for more Zono Minstrelsy, and there'll be a dive for this new record. The renowned artists hiding their identity under the name of " Zonophone Minstrels " have excelled themselves in the making of " Dis old nigger" and "Far away ober dare." The effects gained in this model of combined singing are strikingly fine : hear it-and wild horses wouldn't keep you from buying it. FLORRIE FORDE with Orchestra That Queen of the Halls, Florrie Forde, sings two topping titles for the Christmas month. Her taking and unaffected style of singing has placed her on her present high pedestal and she has sung these two numbers with positive enthusiasm. They're worthy of her too ! That means the titles are uncommonly good. A splendid double.

What a hit " You're my baby " has made in England, after sweeping the States ! It's the finest sort of ragtime and gives our unique body of quartettists-the " American," only heard on Zonophones-a rare chance of showing their mettle. Coupled with this is a dazzling medley of Ragtime Melodies by the Peerless. The double disc is grand beyond description. It's a striking example of Zonophone perfection and Zonophone value. ZONA VEVEY with Piano The vivacious and hugely popular comedienne, Zona Vevey, makes a welcome reappearance on Zonophone lists with her two latest and best. No one expects to find artistes of her calibre *on any other records but Zonophones-her rank is front rank, all the time! The records the public will have, by the artistes the public loves-Zonophones. " My bonnie lassie" and " Nelson " are chock-full of cleverness and originality.

HARRY LAUDER with Orchestra You would wonder how we can get Lauder- the King of Entertainers, making his hundreds a week-on Zono half-crown records-you'd wonder until you saw the mammoth sales of Lauder Zonos. They sell in this extraordinary way simply because they are wonderfully good, Lauder to the life. When did Lauder have a song that wasn't superlatively fine ? Every title is a gem : and as for Harry's manner of singing it-well, there's no-one quite like him.
