Gramophone Records
Taw Encyclopedia meets a very real need. It is a complete
revision of the first edition, and contains lists of records made by all companies under the following heacruigs : 1. Composers,
with subdivisions of vocal and instrumental records. 2. Artists. 3. Church Music. 4. Educational' and Historical Records. 5. International Educational Society Records. With all records the size, number and price are given. In cases where a record holds works by two composers, both titles are given, the reverse in light-face type. The discovery of a particular record is thus made extremely simple, but the compilers have taken no risks, and in addition to the lists already named have printed an index to composers' names at the end of the book. A section printed on blue paper includes unique collections of outstanding European and American gramophone publications, records appealing to every kind of taste. The following are taken at random from the contents of this section : English Folk Dances, Bernard Shaw, Trooping the Colour, Grimm's Fairy Tales, German Children's Discs, Yvette Guilbert, French by Sound, Hun- garian Czardas, Javanese Music, Tolstoi, Bernhardt and the Chinese actor, Mei Lan Fang. The wonder is that all this valuable information has been presented in so compact a form. It goes without saying that there will be a great demand for this complete gramophone guide, especially as it is published at a low price.
