Princes Orchestra was an offshoot of Princes Band, one of the best brass bands of the era. They are best known today for their 1915 recording of St. Louis Blues. I highly recommend that you check it out.

Malvin M. Franklin & Russian-born composer Anatol Friedland collaborate on this charming waltzy tone picture.
Lyrics by L. Wolfe Gilbert
Malvin M. Franklin (1889-1981) was a master of such tangos as Rio de Janeiro, but he was also an experienced rag artist. Hot Chocolate, and Elephant Rag are some of the said rags.

An oriental vamp from the time when songs of the Far East were popular.
Words by Louis Weslyn
Neil Morét was a ubiquitous pseudonym for Charles N. Daniels. Ragtime fans may recognize his name, as he was the arranger of Scott Joplins Original Rags. But he was an accomplished composer in his own right, too.
Hiawatha was certainly his most famous work, but others such as Borneo Rag, Margery, and I Think of Home and Mother When Its Christmas Time are also notable.
