Josie Sadler - Id Like To Make A Smash Mit You (1909)
Josie Sadler
"I'd Like To Make A Smash Mit You"
1909
This popular vaudeville performer was known for singing in German dialect.
She was born Josephine Rauscher.
Introducing her as a new Edison artist, the June 1909 issue of Edison Phonograph Monthly reports, "Her special forte is German comedy characterization. She made her first professional appearance about twelve years ago, appearing as 'Wild Rosie' in 'Prince Pro Tem.' Since then she has had prominent parts in many successful musical comedies...One of her greatest hits was the song 'Henny,' which she sang in 'Peggy From Paris.' Since then she has appeared as Mrs. Sibyl Schwartz in 'The Gallopher' and Fifi in 'A Waltz Dream.'"
She made a few records for each of the three large companies--Edison, Columbia, and Victor.
Her first was for Columbia, in October 1907: "I'd Like To Make A Smash Mit You," issued as disc 3815 and cylinder 33279.
Announcing the release of "A Little German Trouble" (cylinder 33303). Columbia's January 1909 supplement states, "Josie Sadler's highly original and humorous German dialect specialties have come to be such a feature of our monthly supplements that it is natural to look for a record by her in the present list. The 'trouble' in this record does not extend to those who buy it."
Her first Victor session was on December 31, 1908, her last on June 11, 1909.
She was perhaps most associated with the Alfred Solman song "He Falls for the Ladies Every Time," recorded in 1909 for both Edison (10179) and Victor (5702). It was sung by Sadler in the musical comedy The Mimic World.
With this song she made her Edison debut. She later made a handful of other Edison recordings, two of which were issued as four-minute wax Amberols: "Come and Hear the Orchestra" (184), recorded on April 28, 1909, and "The German Fifth" (438), recorded on March 1, 1910.
