CHICAGO, III., September 12.—The accompany-
September 18.—The Rudolph
Wurlitzer Co.'s store recently had an exceed- ing illustration shows the comely features of
ingly original window display, featuring the Miss Nell Craig, a popular film favorite, well
Hope-Jones unit orchestra, the display being known in the motion picture world as one of
designed by Ellis Hansen, one of the most ex-
pert window dressers in this country. In the
center of the window the console of the union
orchestra with its keyboard was placed,
flanked on either side by organ pipes. From
the different keys on the console ribbons lead
to the different instruments which compose a
full orchestra, the idea being to demonstrate
visually that the unit orchestra was capable of
reproducing the music of each instrument. A
large illuminated picture of the Wurlitzer fac-
troy at Tonawanda, N. Y., where the unit or-
chestras are made, was shown in the back-
ground of the display. The display attracted
much attention, and was an excellent advertise-
ment for the various features of the Hope-
Jones unit orchestra.

Miss Nell Craig
the Essanay stars. Miss Craig had quite a
stage career before joining the movies, and was
connected with the Henry Savage forces for
several seasons. She has been with the Lubin
and Pathe companies, and went with the Es-
sanay in 1914. She was a feature of the recent
moving picture exposition at the Coliseum, and
while there was greatly attracted by the ex-
hibit of the J. P. Seeburg Co., and spent some
little time there acquainting herself with the
construction and musical merits of the See-
burg pipe organ orchestra. She gladly con-
sented to pose for a photo standing by the side
of the instrument.
In a recent letter to the Seeburg Co., Miss
Craig says, "I think the tone of the Seeburg
pipe organ orchestra is exquisite, and that it is
ideal as an accompaniment for pictures." Miss
Craig is herself a musician of accomplishment,
and enjoys visiting the Seeburg warerooms and
spending a half hour or so at the manual of
the pipe organ orchestra.
MEANS OF VIBRATING STRINGS
WASHINGTON, D. C, September 18.—M. L.
Severy and G. B. Sinclair have been granted
Patent No. 1,198,070 for an electric musical in-
strument which they have assigned to the
Choralcelo Manufacturing Co. This invention
relates to that class of musical instruments in
which strung wires are caused to vibrate by
means of a key-board; and the objects of the
invention are the effecting of improved means
whereby the strings may be vibrated either by
the striking action of hammers, or by magnetic
pulsations; the same operating either in con-
junction with each other, or either one with-
out the other.
The Knight-Campbell Music Co., of Denver,
Colo., recently sold a Style K Wurlitzer to
Barnes & Barnes, Casper, Wyo., through its
Cheyenne representative.
The Operators Piano Co. has in preparation
four new styles of automatic instruments, which
will make a splendid addition to the Coinola
line. The styles include instruments with
piano and mandolin effects; piano, mandolin,
cymbals, bass and snare drums; piano, violin,
mandolin, and flute pipes; and piano, mandolin,
flute and orchestra bells. The instruments oc-
cupy relatively small space, and are designed
for restaurants, confectionery stores and sim-
ilar places. Descriptive literature of these four
new instruments is now in preparation.
MECHANISM TO^ONTROL PLAYERS
WASHINGTON, D. C, September 18.—Eugene T.
Turney has just been granted Patent No.
1,198,291 on a mechanism for controlling piano
players which aims to provide an improved
mechanism for automatically controlling the
position of an adjustable element of a piano
player or other apparatus. The adjustment is
effected by an undulating pressure tending to
cause the adjustment in first one direction
and then the other; or by a continuous flow
of air under varying pressure; or by exerting
two forces continuously in opposite directions
and varying the relation between these forces
as adjustment becomes necessary in one direc-
tion or the other; and is especially adapted,
for example, to the maintaining of proper lateral
registration of "tracking," of the music sheet
of a piano player.
