PITY THE POOR ACTOR, KEPT HUSTLING
FROM GREASE-PAINT TO BANJO-STRINGS
"Dark" Secret in Player's Life Disclosed, With Some Notes
on the Value of Folk Music as Recorded
on the Phonograph.
ny the Phonojrrsph Editor
Harry C. nrowne, with "Tha House or
aiass" company, playing at the Oarrlck. Is
a busy man these days preparing records
for the Columbia Company, of New York
For be it known It. C. II, tha actor. Is
none other than Harry C Browne, hanjolst
and singer of plantation, rler and minstrel
songs. Mr. nrowne Is his yodnger days was
an expert banjolst, and as his father, Isaao
8. Browne, had been a well-known minstrel
man Some, thirty years ago. It was only
natural that his son should Inherit some of
his father's talents, and several of his
daddy's songs nre among the records ha Is
making. On Tuesdays and other non
matinee days ha goes to New York to make
records of several songs. In tho November
Columbia catalogue will be found among the
numbers listed "Angel Clabrlel." composed
and made famous many years ago by Krank
Dumont, tha local minstrel man. The July
'and August lists also contain songs by Mr
Browne.
The matter of folk songs on the phono
graph may welt detain the reader's atten
tion for a few moments For this Is n
branch of tho act that Is peculiarly suited
to disc representation. The United States
has little folk melody that does not spring
from the South, In especial tho period of
slavery. And what a wealth of Interest Is
there t Dorak. the Bohemian composer,
whose less-well-known symphony Is to be
played In Philadelphia his autumn, went to
the cotton fields for the source of his "New
World." And een tho less pretending dit
ties and lullabies that southern mammies
used to sing to the pickaninnies aro agree
able to listen to. That Is where tho phono
graph comes It It preserves the personal
tone of such offerings, sometimes better than
the concert hall.
Mention was made aboo of Mr, nrowne's
work for the Columbia. If you hear one
of his records "Jloll Out. Heave Dat Cot
ton" you wilt appreciate how nicely tho
machine catches and reproduces minute In
flections, as well as broader effects. Tou
hear the bell and whistle of the freight boat
and the cascade of cries of tho cotton load
ers, with a musical background ever pres
ent The Columbia has been singularly keen
on folk melodies. Witness Itn "Humoresque
on Two American Folk Songs" ("Dixie" nnd
"Old Folks at Hume") played by the Koell
ner String quartet. And. by tho wny, this
quartet has a curious personnel. It Is com
posed of father, daughter and two -sons.
The Interweaving of the ttwynes In cleverly
accomplished on tho record; which lias a
real folk value.
Ireland has been vigorously productive of
songs and dances of the people -And If
you are pro-Irish (or ecn Just pro-music)
you will liko to hear three of Kdlson'a dla-mond-dtsc
records "Mother Mnchree." "My
Wild Irish Hose." and "Come Hack to Krln,
Mona Darling" The first, graced by the
good tenor of Waller Van llrunt. Is n
Chauncey Olcott ballad of the approved
stage tpe. Its popularity seems to Jump
with the years. "My Wild Irish nose." on
tho other side of the record. Is even older In
point of time, nnd hardly less likable
George Wilton Ballard sings the third
named number, with mixed chorus.
"Mona" Is also entreated to "come hack"
In a Columbia offering It's romantically
done nnd Is likely to hold Its own in com
petition with other comers on that account
Tho Victor Company has at least two
artists, nnd ".cry possibly more, who can
Imbue a popular song with much appeal.
Herbert Wlthcrsj-oon, whom Phlladelphlans
temembcr for his frequent appearances with
the Metropolitan, has recorded "Off to Phil
adelphla." built on an old Irish melody.
In ten-Inch form. It's tho song of an Immi
grant about to tempt fortune In a new
world. Humor nnd pathos aro skillfully
Intermingled to produce what theatrical

"Msrchlng Through Georgia," dons by Clar
ence Whltehlll, also of tho Metropolitan.
Tho well-known Wotan of "Illng" fame,
who himself should really write a song de
scribing his experiences on tha golf links
soma day, Is the singer We need hardly
remind you that this number was composed
by Henry C Work, and that It Is a sketch,
in melody and words, of Oeneral Sherman's
devastation of the southern Stato hen the
backbone of the Confederacy was shattered.
Which also reminds us of the Shermsn
rcene In "The Birth of a Nation." Terhaps
It will Interest ou to hear tho orchestral
rendering of the song during the presenta
tion of the flm nnd then compare It with
Mr Whltehlll' version
Kitty Cheatham Is a performer who
touches nothing that she does not ndom.
She has contributed two specialties to the
Victor list. "Dixie Land" nnd "fse Owlns
Back to Dixie." both full of that sentiment
which has been alluded to above ns of
tho people. And while on this suhject,
wo might mention the Columbia's "Come on
to Nashville," sung by Georgo II. O'Connor,
a character portraycr of this sort of thing.

Captures Astor Trophy in Sheepshead
Bay Speedway 250-Mile Classic
Rickenbacier Also on Goodyear Cords a Close Second
Catapulting-along the edge-to-edge board course at
Sheepshead Bay Saturday at the rate of 1 04.66 miles
. an hour, a world's record for the distance, Johnny
Aitken drove his Peugeot to victory in the Astor Cup
Race over a field of 3 1 starters.
He rode on Goodyear Cords!
' And he won on Goodyear Cords!
Desperate competitors thundered at his hubs every mile
a ' of the way a treacherous tire might have meant defeat
J but he won his Goodyears did their splendid part.
i They stood the .burning,, tearing, grinding, rending punish-
j ' ment of 250 miles over edge-to-edge boards at a 104.66-mile
,' ' pace and victoriously!
' ' Aitken's victory is not" an isolated instance of the unflinch-
, ing stamina of Goodyear Cords. The racing recbrds of the
past three months are formidable with additional proof.
Proof, not alone of stamina though this is paramount
but of speed, spring, and exultant vitality.
Proof of the very qualities that led to the adoption of Good
year Cord tires as standard equipment on the franklin, the
Packard Twin-Six, the Locomobile, the Peerless, the White.
the Haynes Twelve, theStutz and the Mcrarlan.
Proof of the qualities that make these tires better.
