Dixie Daisies (Bob Haring's Band) - Lovin' Sam (The Sheik of Alabam) Fox Trot (Yellen /Ager) Cameo 1922 (USA; accoustic)
NOTE: This fox-trot was a great success of Eddie Cantor in 1922 Ziegfeld Theatre revue "Make It Snappy". The song was supposed to be the ironic hint to the internationally famous hit "The Sheik Of Araby"composed by Ted Snyder as response to Rudolph Valentino' silent movie Sheik-love-story.
Bob HARING (1896-?) American bandleader of the 1920s and early 1930s. He began recording as the music director of the Cameo Records label beginning in 1922 under many pseudonyms, such as The Caroliners, The Lincoln Dance Orchestra, Dixie Daisies, King Solomon and His Miners, etc. Cameo was one of the primary 'dime store' labels in the 1920s and Haring's sessions there were also issued on Romeo, Perfect, Oriole and others. Therefore, his discography is difficult to complete. His best recordings were issued on the Brunswick label, one of the three major recordings labels in the 1920s. His first recording for Brunswick was made in 1925 as the Regent Club Orchestra. In 1926 Haring became the leader of the The Colonial Club Orchestra that focused on fox-trot dance music played in a elegant style with the occasional tango and waltz. Later that year, Haring appeared on the Brunswick label for the first time under his own name as Bob Haring & His Orchestra. In all of these recordings, Haring emphasized a classy society sound by extensively using string instruments, such as violins, to carry the melody.
By April 1929, Haring had been appointed the musical director for the Brunswick Records in New York City and he continued to record for Brunswick until the Warner Bros. took over the company in 1930 and the subsequent reorganization that led to the non-renewal of Haring's contract in March 1931. Haring continued to work in radio until the introduction of swing music drastically changed the public's taste in music around 1935.
LOVIN' SAM -- fox trot, 1922
Listen, sisters and brothers, I suppose you've heard of the Sheik;
They say that he's the lovin' champ,
There ain't a woman he can't vamp,
But let me tell you About a man I know:
He's the greatest of lovers Ever kissed a gal on the cheek.
There ain't a high-brown gal in town
Who wouldn't throw her daddy down
To be the bride of this culud [sic] Romeo.
CHORUS:
People call him Lovin' Sam, He's the Sheik of Alabam'
He's a mean love-makin', a heart-breakin' man!
And when the gals go strollin' by, Boy! he rolls a wicked eye!
Does he step? Does he strut?
That's what he doesn't do nothin' else but!
Could you love like Lovin' Sam
You could have your eggs and ham
In the finest kitchens down in Alabam'
You'd make the high-brown babies cry for ya
Like babies cry for Castoria!
They all love Lovin' Sam,
The Sheik of Alabam'!
Ev'ry husband and lover Better take a bit of advice;
Of course they say advice is cheap,
But if your gal you aim to keep,
Then here's my warnin', And you can pass it on:
Keep your gal under cover
Sure as there's a deuce on the dice,
If Lovin' Sam gives her the grin,
Then you is out and Sam is in
And in the mornin' Your lovin' mama's gone!

Gus Arnheim and His Orchestra, with Vocal refrain (Buster Dees) -- This Is Heaven, Fox-Trot from United Artists picture "This Is Heaven" (Yellen /Akst) , Victor 1929
NOTE: THIS IS HEAVEN (1929) This film was to have been Robert Montgomery's first talkie. He was hired to play opposite Hungarian silent star Vilma Banky in this silent film with talking sequences which was produced by United Artists. The film was also Vilma Banky's first talkie, however it failed to provide her with a stable position in a newly developing talkie movie business. Production had begun on the film when director Alfred Santell suddenly decided Montgomery couldn't act and he was subsequently fired. He was replaced by rather indistinctive James Hall and Montgomery moved on to MGM where that unusually handsome and talented actor obtained enormous succes in a musical movie comedy: So This is College.
------------------------------------------
Vilma Bánky (b. Vilma Koncsics 1901 in Nagydorog, Austria-Hungary -- d. 1991) was a Hungarian-born American silent film actress, although the early part of her acting career began in Budapest, spreading to France, Austria, and Germany. Banky was best known for her roles in The Eagle and The Son of the Sheik with Rudolph Valentino and several romantic teamings with Ronald Colman.
Her father was a bureau chief under Franz Joseph's Austro-Hungarian Empire. Shortly after her birth, her father was transferred to Budapest, and the family relocated. After graduation from secondary school, Bánky took courses to work as a stenographer, but was offered a role in the now lost film, Im Letzten Augenblick, directed by German director Carl Boese in 1919. After her successful performance, she was offered more film-engagements in Austria and in Germany. On a trip to Budapest in 1925, Hollywood film producer Samuel Goldwyn discovered and signed her to a contract. Both her mother and father were vehemently against Bánky's acting career as was her fiancé; nonetheless she left for the United States in March 1925, arriving to a great deal of fanfare. She was hailed as "The Hungarian Rhapsody" and was an immediate hit with American audiences. The New York Times remarked in its review of her first American film, The Dark Angel, that she "is a young person of rare beauty ..." In 1925 and 26 Vilma Bánky appeared opposite Rudolph Valentino in "The Eagle" and "The Son of the Sheik" . However, her thick Hungarian accent cut her career short with the advent of sound; after a mediocre success of her first talkie "This Is Heaven" she began losing interest in films and wanted to settle down with Rod La Rocque and simply be his wife. By 1930 she had begun announcing her intention to retire in a few years. Her post Hollywood years were spent selling real estate with her husband and playing golf, her favorite sport. In 1981, Bánky established an educational fund called the Banky -- La Rocque Foundation, which is still in operation. Vilma Bánky died on March 18, 1991, from cardiopulmonary failure, aged 90, her ashes were scattered at sea where her husband's had been.

Gus Arnheim & His Ambassador Hotel Orch. - Feelin' Good, with Vocal Chorus Columbia 1928 (USA)
NOTE: Gus Arnheim (1897 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania -- 1955 in Los Angeles, California) whose rendition of "Singin' In The Rain" I uploaded here a few days ago - was called "the Star of the Entertainers" and the "Entertainer of the Stars". His extended engagement at the Cocoanut Grove of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles in late 1920s thru mid 1930s made him one of the brightest shining West Coast stars of the dance music, along with such celebrities as Whiteman, Abe Lyman or Art Hickman. Here is one of Arnheim's earlier releases of 1928 - when shortly after he left Abe Lyman's band to establish his own group, he still recorded for Columbia. In later years he switched to Victor Records, where his best and hottest dance numbers were immortalised.

Ted Wallace & His Campus Boys (Ed Kirkeby's band) with Vocal Refrain (Ed Kirkeby & Elmer Feldkamp) - Who Am I? Foxtrot (Newman, Clifford) Columbia 1931 (USA)
Here's side A of excellent dance record by Ed Kirekeby's band (aka Ted Wallace). Side B with another charming foxtrot "Waitin' For A Call From You", was uploaded yesterday. The orchestra is perfect but I think, nothing compares that exquisite male duett: two masters of the art of crooning, sing together! After the tune is finished, it still jingles in your head and it's really hard to forget that delightful fusion of two male voices singing with such sophistication and harmony.

NOTE: Ed KIRKEBY (1891 -- 1978) American bandleader, vocalist, manager and salesman, is best remembered as the manager of Fats Waller. He was one of the first recording managers at Columbia Records to record jazz and organized the California Ramblers to record it. He recorded extensively during the 1920's and early 1930's using many pseudonyms including The Little Ramblers, The Goofus Five, The Varsity Eight, Ted Wallace and Eddie Lloyd. Over the years he also managed the Pickens Sisters and worked in the band booking department at NBC. As Fats Waller's manager he also acted as his archivist building a collection which is held today by the Institute of Jazz Studies.
