Each clever word and every bar of music in the little dramatic cantata, “TḤal by Jury," has been recorded for Victor in this new and immensely entertaining Red Seal album. If your tastes rua along instrumental lines, the famous Flon- zaley Quartet (now in the last year of their existence as an ensemble) has re- corded a lovely bit of Schumann chamber music... But that isn't half of the wonderful musical opportunities in this July list of Victor records. The best Red Seal music and the best dance entertainment are right here! You'll want to hear some of these new records... We want you to hear them. Let's get together . . . Boon!
