Franklyn Baur #3 CD348C
Baur's first stage appearance was in the Ziegfeld Follies of 1927, starring Eddie Cantor, in which he was a featured vocalist. The Victor 12" (both sides)record featured the Brox Sisters, dual pianists Edgar Fairchild and Ralph Rainger with the Victor Orchestra directed by Nat Shilkret. He was also featured on the Palmolive Hour in the late 1920s. In an interview with Phonograph Monthly publication Baur gave an insight into the new electric technology - "The invention of the electrical process was of greater significance than the average layman realizes. Not only are the finished records incomparably better from every standpoint, but the strain on the singer is immeasurably eased. A record can be made in exactly one-third the time it used to take, and no longer is it necessary for us to nearly crack our throats singing into that hated horn...When the electrical system was first introduced, the recording rooms were difficult to sing in since they were 'deadened,' exactly like the broadcasting studio of today. But the phonograph people have learned some secret the radio does not know, and now the recording studios are no longer absolutely 'dead,' but are resonant and consequently infinitely easier to sing in." This volume features vocals with Nat Shilkret, Harry Reser's Syncopaters, Jacques Renard's Coconut Grove Orchestra, Johnny Johnson's Statler Pennsylvanians, Don Bestor (who continued recording into the late thirties) and Roger Wolfe Kahn ~ Mickey Clark
