I gotta leave a comment, since you do so much, say so much, but not a peep from the peeps. I know there's a weekly party, not partying weakly, of course, with gin in hand and maybe peanuts, and if lucky, a couple of coconuts nearly... ponying up to listen to your wealth of musical madness each week. Such as I...
So a comment, besides the kudo's wit a pose, which is checking the playlist... I see two NOVELTY orchestras...
International Novelty Orch - Only a Rose (1925) - Victor 19901 B
Paul Biese and his Novelty Orch - Harem Life (1919) - Victor 18654 B
Since you are the master of the masters and shellacs, what was the idea - the then-current meaning of the term Novelty Orchestra?
Not just an orchestra doing a Novelty Tune, I am hoping.
Take it, Jackson!

Thanks! That's a good question.
I think "Novelty" in some cases was a fairly meaningless label designation. It tends to make me think of bands using accordions and xylophones or marimbas, though in this week's playlist that is most definitely not the case. It could easily mean any dance band music that is not symphonic and not quite jazz.
The International Novelty Orchestra on Victor was a house band that offered of waltzes and tangos and fox trot versions of operetta and show selections--actually almost any kind of dance music in the early electric era. Saxophonist Paul Biese dropped the "Novelty" in early 1920, for some reason.
Harry Reser, on the other hand, specialized in novelty tunes and almost never used the "novelty orchestra" designation. Neither did Fred "Sugar" Hall.
In a way it's almost like asking "What is Jazz?" The answer, of course, is that you know it when you hear it. Or not.
I appreciate your kind comments and that you're not a robot. (These automatons are ruining it for the rest of us.)
Many thanks again,
Andy
