HIS MASTER’S VOICE.

Duets Revived. One of the most enchanting, of light operas, “Yeronique,” is represented by its two popular duets, “The Donkey Song” and “The Swing Song,” sung by the London Light Opera stars, Winnie Melville and Derek Oldham. This is the latest of a number of light opera duets which these two singers have made. “The Donkey Song”—“Trot Here and There”—has a tripping tempo and a lilting - air, and it is obvious that the artists enter into the spirit of the duet with real enjoyment. The other number is more romantic in theme

and in this there is a charming blend of two beautiful t Dices. (H.M.V., 82939). Dance Music. The following dance records have been culled from the H.M.V. October list: —“I Lift Up My Finger and I say, “Tweet! Tweet!’ ” —fox-trot with vocal refrain —and “Sweetheart of All My Dreams” —fox-trot with vocal refrain, played by Jack Hylton and his orchestra; “Laughing Marionette,” fox-trot, and “Shiuaniki,” one-step, with vocal refrain, 'played by Jack Hylton and his orchestra; “One For Ail—All For One,” fox-trot, vocal refrain by Frank Munn, and “I. Thirsty for Kisses,” fox-trot, vocal refrain by Dick Robertson, played by Nat Shilkret and his orchestra; “My Mother’s Eyes,” fox-trot, vocal refrain by Clare Hanlon, and “Sally of My Dreams,” fox-trot, vocal refrain by Bert Lorin, played by Waring’s Pennsylvanians. “Henry VIII.” Dances. Nothing could be more pleasant to lovers of light music than Sir Edward German ’3 “Henry VIII.” dances —■ “Shepherd’s Dance,” “Morris Dance,” and “Torch Dance”—which are grouped in one record. They are played by the New Symphony Orchestra under Dr. Malcolm Sargent. These are based on the old folk-dances of Old England, and should be dear to the hearts of all. The string tone of this orchestra is especially beautiful, and right merrily do the fiddles play. (H.M.V., B 2981).
