TRADE Grafor July Records TERE is a record of "Old Black Joe," by Louis Graveure, the world-famed baritone, that is a perfect gem of inspired song-interpretation. The very soul of the old dying darkey speaks in moving tenderness in each phrase. "Carry Me Back to Old Virginny" voices the longing expressed in the words with rare, touching and true expressiveness. Of the same class is Lucy Gates' rendering of "Aloha Oe," the Hawaiian farewell song, with the sweet sound of guitars and a male quartette bringing out the tender beauty of her voice; Francis Macmillen's first recording of two of his own violin compositions; and the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra's recording of the "Barcarole" from "The Tales of Hoffman." These are indeed unusual Gems of Vocal and Instrumental Art OLD BLACK JOE.
