David,
Don't know if it helps, but the tune "When I Get You Alone Tonight" is by
Fred Fisher, Joe McCarthy and Joe Goodwin, and was first published in 1912.

"Contemporary composers, and at least a considerable number of them, explain
what system they used, in what way they arrived at something. I do not do
that. I think that the matter of the way by which one arrived at something
is, for the listeners, unimportant. What matters is the final result, that
is the work itself." -Grazyna Bacewicz, 1964

Dear David,
I am very sorry to be so long in answering your query; but I believe
I have a cylinder like that myself. It's in my private collection at
home, and I believe it was a "bargain price" type (possibly costing
tenpence or a shilling). When I have a moment, I shall dig it out and
let you know. I also have some editions of the British trade journals
"Sound Wave" and "Talking Machine Review"; it is even possible I may be
able to date it! I get the impression such cylinders filled a market
niche, to be given away to customers who bought a phonograph as opposed
to a gramophone.

Subject: [ARSCLIST] unknown celluloid cylinder
I have a celluloid (or some type of plastic) cylinder that I can't
identify. Perhaps somebody here can help. It is a standard-sized,
two-minute cylinder with a cardboard core with a metal ring at the
beginning of the cylinder with a thin layer of black celluloid over the
top. The bottom of the celluloid layer appears blue. There is no
celluloid lip on either end and no writing on the cylinder. The cylinder
wall itself is quite a bit thinner than a typical cylinder and is not
tapered. The cylinder is not announced, but the pop song is "When I get
you alone tonight."
Any ideas?
David
