Buy with Confidence - 100% Positive Seller.

Alice in Orchestralia was a 1925 novel by Ernest La Prade about a girl named Alice who went to the symphony and fell into a tuba, then met the instruments of the orchestra as animated characters. It was also the title of an NBC radio program broadcast in the 1930s.

Alice in Orchestralia was subsequently issued a set of three 78 rpm records on the label Records of Knowledge (ROK-20) by the Rexford Company of New York. The music was composed by Don Gillis and performed by the Rexford Symphony with Ernest La Prade conducting. The cast included Gene Hamilton (narrator), Celia Rotelle (Alice), Leonard Fabian (bass viol), Robert Weil (saxophone), Ann Gerry (mother), Produced and directed under supervision of Metropolitan Opera star Nanette Guilford. The precise date is unclear, likely in the 1930s or early 1940s.
