MYSTIC MUSIC
LOCATION INSPIRES
NEW RECORD
“ Inspirations for songs have
their sources f r o m m a n y
places,” related Jack Nelson,
vice president in charge of
sales, Rock-Ola Manufacturing
Corp., Chicago, on his return
from an Eastern trip.
“ While visiting one of Charlie
Engelman’s Mystic Music loca­
tions in New York recently, I
was introduced to Joe White,
the writer of ‘Maguire’s Muske­
teers.’ The inspiration for this
song came to the author from
Maguire’s Chop House, 3774
Broadway at 157th Street, Man­
hattan. It is recorded on Decca
3719B, and is one of the hottest
numbers for phonographs in a
long time.
“ Charlie Engelman, promi­
nent music operator, reports
that Maguire’s Chop House
formerly did about
a week
with an ordinary conventional-
type phonograph, but that the
receipts have been increased
four times with a Rock-Ola
Mystic Music Set.
Maguire’s Chop House is a
meeting place for coin machine
men in the vicinity.”

One of the most “ atmospher­

Room of the Carter Hotel. Colo­
nial from its ship lantern decor­

long way for a more ideal spot
