Can anyone identify the song that is being played on an Edison C250 in this video?

Thanks!

That is "Humoresque" by Dvorak. No idea who the violinist is, but it isn't Albert Spalding or Vasa Prihoda- Edison issued quite a few records of this

I'm guessing Fritz Kreisler, although I think he usually recorded for Victor.

No- Kreisler's contract with Victor & HMV was exclusive.
