NEW PEDAGOGIC WRINKLE.
Chicago Launches Plan of Learning Cornet
Through
the Medium
of the Talking
Machine—Company Formed to Exploit This
Method of Instruction.
(Special to The Review.)
Review Office, 1362 Monadnock Block,
Chicago, 111., October 23, 1905.
Chicago stands sponsor for the very latest in
instruction by mail or express.
No matter
whether you live in Podunkville, Idaho or Free-
zalatska, Alaska, you can now learn to play the
cornet under one of the greatest, if not the
greatest, cornetists in the world, who will be re-
markably patient with you. He will play all the
exercises for you, not only once, but many times,
until you are sure that you have them exactly.
Not only this, but every once in a while, even
while you are in the elementary stage, he will
play you a solo just so you can have an ideal al-
ways before you. Steve Crean, he of interna-
posing Steve Crean, president; J. J. Voss and
A. E. Clark, under the name of the Steve Crean
System. Ultimately they expect to teach the
flute, piccolo, clarionet, oboe, French horn, alto
horn, baritone and trombone in a similar man-
ner, employing expert performers on the different
instruments to make the records. The office of
the company is at 94 Dearborn street. The com-
pany use on all their literature the illustration
produced herewith, "The Spirit of the Teacher,"
the phantom figure in the background being the
astral body of Mr. Crean, who is anything but a
phantom in real life. In his hand he holds the
instrument, with which he makes the records,
a Conn-Conqueror cornet, and that's no phantom,
either.
TRADE NOTES FROM ST. LOUIS.
(Special to The Review.)
St. Louis, Mo., October 28, 1905.
Trade for the month of October in talking
machines is reported to have been quite good, al-
though some dealers state that the last two weeks
of the month showed a falling off. All are optim-
istic and look for a fine fall and winter trade.
Large orders are now being plated for holiday
goods.
D. S. Ramsdell, vice-president and manager of
the St. Louis Talking Machine Co., returned on
Monday, Sept. 2, from his wedding trip.
George Ornstein, manager of the travelers' de-
partment of the Victor Talking Machine Co.,
spent one day here recently.
Geo. M. Nisbett, Western Manager of the Na-
tional Phonograph Co., with headquarters in
Chicago, was a visitor here last week.
Mr. Mitchell, special traveling salesman of
the Talk-o-phone Co., spent last Saturday here.
F. E. Miles, manager of the talking machine
department of the O. K. Houck Piano Co., Mem-
phis, Tenn., was here recently to witness the
annual visitation of the Veiled Prophet.
Frank Madison, traveling representative of the
National Phonograph Co., was a recent visitor
here.
Walter A.. Eckhardt, wholesale sales manager
of the Columbia Phonograph Co., arrived here
yesterday on a business visit.

she gives a detailed history of the Scotch folk
