I bought 20 brown wax cylinders and the original carrying case quite awhile ago and had never tried to play any of them, let alone know whats on them until today. With no markings or record slips, I have to resort the the announcements to identify the titles and artist. I was really happy with how well they all played and was able to identify quite a few of them. But there were a few that I couldn't make out the titles and/or artists and wanted to see if anyone would be able to help out. I don't know much about brown wax cylinders or the popular selections of their day. If the title or artist can be audibly verified, maybe one of you will recognize the songs. I am going to start with one, but have made videos of all 20 so I won't have to play them again.
These will probably be easy for you cylinder buffs, so I apologize if these are common titles/artists! The first one I am stuck on is a march played by the Edison Grand Symphony Orchestra. I can't make out what is said before the word march though. Does anyone know? Any information on the title and production date would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for the help!
