B.F. Goodrich Silvertown Orchestra, featuring the Silver-Masked Tenor
The Goodrich Silvertown Orchestra was a musical variety radio program. It was sponsored by B. F. Goodrich and heard in different formats and timeslots from 1925 until 1935. The performers included Henry Burr (tenor), Carl Mathieu (tenor), James Stanley (baritone), Stanley Baughman (bass), Monroe Silver (comedian), Frank Banta (piano), and Sam Herman (xylophone).
Joseph M. White, "The Silver-Masked Tenor" was a featured singer with the orchestra. The show was notable for introducing listeners to Joseph M. White, a.k.a. "The Silver-Masked Tenor", who had first been heard on WEAF as early as 1923. With a mask concealing his secret identity, White found such fame on radio that when the Silvertown Orchestra played on the Keith vaudeville circuit, police had to escort White into theaters. Intended for advertising, the show drew a large number of listeners who were asked to guess his identity, which was not revealed until 1930.
The recording career of the B.F. Goodrich Silvertown Cord Orchestra was from 1925 to 1928. This CD includes the majority of their recorded performances. All selections have been digitally restored by Vintage Recordings.
