THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
COLUMBIA EMPLOYES HOLD DANCE
Enjoyable Affair Given at Hotel St. George,
Brooklyn, by Employes of the Executive
Offices of the Columbia Graphophone Co.
The employes in the executive offices of the
Columbia Graphophone Co., Woolworth Build-
ing, New York, held a subscription dance at
the Hotel St. George, Brooklyn, N. Y., last
Thursday evening, which was the most success-
ful one of this series of dances that has been
given in recent years. T. E. Novakoski, assist-
ant secretary and treasurer of the company, and
votees of "Terpsichore," and a feeling of
camaraderie and good-cheer predominated.
The modern dances require good music, and
in this respect Thursday's entertainment would
have satisfied the most critical. Prince's Or-
chestra, famed for its work in the production
of Columbia records, rendered the music for
the dance, and throughout the program of
twenty dances, perfect tempo and rhythm was
at the disposal of the dancers.
Among the guests at Thursday's dance were
Miss Mary Dowling Marks and Clarence Wolff,
winners of the singing contest which was re-
cently launched under the auspices of the Co-
65
NEW QUARTET ON VICTOR RECORD
Mischa Elman Quartet Represented in May
Supplement Issued by Victor Co.
In sending out the May record supplement,
the Victor Talking Machine Co. calls particular
attention to the first record by the Elman
String Quartet, they playing "The Emperor
Quartet" by Haydn.
In addition to Mischa
Elman, the quartet includes Adolf Bak, second
violin; Karl Rissland, viola, and Rudolph Nagel,
violoncello, the three being members of the
Boston Symphony Orchestra. The supplement
is full of other good things that make it hard
to select the record most worthy of comment.
WHOLESALE MANAGERS CONFER
R. F. Bolton, district manager of the Colum-
bia Graphophone Co., in New York and New
England, held a conference last week of the
wholesale managers in his territory, accom-
panied by their assistants, at which a number of
important matters were discussed, applicable
primarily to sales promotion work.
Among
those in attendance at the meetings were Lam-
bert Friedl, manager of the Pittsburgh branch,
who, on May 1, will be wholesale manager in
New York; Fred E. Mann, Boston manager; R.
L. Perritt, head of the Springfield, Mass.,
branch; H. M. Blakeborough, manager at New
Haven, Conn., and G. P. Donnelly, manager of
Columbia wholesale division at Portland, Me.
Those Present at the Recent Dance
Miss E. A. Trussler, of the Columbia advertis-
ing department, constituted the committee of
arrangements, and are deserving of hearty con-
gratulations for the success of their efforts.
The Hotel St. George is one of Brooklyn's
leading family hostelries, and its beautiful ap-
pointments and equipment made a fitting back-
ground for the refinement and quiet good taste
which characterized the Columbia dance. A
buffet luncheon was also served for the de-
Given by Columbia Co. Employes
lnmbia Graphophone Co. in the State of Ken-
tucky. They joined in the festivities, and were
the recipients of hearty felicitations upon their
victory in the "Blue Grass" State.
