The band festival at Plum Center

About this Item

Title

  • The band festival at Plum Center

Summary

  • From Edison records catalog: This is one of the cleverest skits of its kind ever produced. It is cleverly written and even more cleverly presented. Miss Jones and Messrs. Harlan and Porter are thoroughly experienced at this sort of work and every intonation of their voices gives just the right touch to the situation. Notice how the band plays the famous "Misere" from Verdi's opera "Il' cavatore." Also how well the atmosphere of the "rube festival" is created. If you ever saw one of these performances in the making you would realize how difficult it is to secure these effects.
