Albany Indestructible records bear the July 29, 1902 grant date for a William E. Messer patent (U.S. 705772, for cylinder manufacturing apparatus) that was a legacy from the Lambert Company.Lah Ca wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2024 9:49 am
The song is reasonably well documented as having been written in 1909 and having been a hit for both Jones and Blanche Ring in the same year, so I do not understand claims for a date of 1902 for cylinders of the tune:

Re: ada jones question
"I've Got Rings on My Fingers" having already been mentioned, my next choice would be "Come Out of the Kitchen, Mary Ann", which name drops many of the movie stars of the silent era:
Come out of the kitchen Mary darling!
Come out of the kitchen Mary Ann!
Why waste your time cooking Irish stew,
When Theda Bara and Charlie Chaplin
Would step aside for you?
and so on. A fun record that's not hard to find.

"He's the Makin's of a Darned Fine Man" both on Edison Blue Amberol and Victor. Funny recording.

Re: ada jones question
i really like that one too! i was gonna buy the blue amberol of it but didn't look like it was in very good condition, it looked kinda like a blue surface of the moon on one side of the cylinder.Governor Flyball wrote: ↑Sat Jan 20, 2024 2:15 am My favorite ragtime comic song is Edison blue amberol 2190 "That's How I Lost Him".

Re: ada jones question
Slightly off topic, here she is trying to start her Model T, but why is she using the starting handle?
The black radiator tells us that the car is 1917 or later, by which time Model T's had electric starting and lighting.
