REVIEW
UMUHMIOI^OiUfflUa&^ffl^^
The general condition of the music roll busi-
ness continues to be good, a statement which
no one will be likely to dispute.
But this,
nevertheless, is not a normal condition. We
are not doing the kind of business we should
expect to do in normal times or under the con-
ditions we had become accustomed to in the
years previous to 1917. We face an abnormal
relation between demand, and ability to supply
it
This abnormal relation is, of course, arti-
ficial, and must in due time stabilize itself.
Our present condition is that we cannot get
either the supply of skilled help in our fac-
tories or the manufacturing facilities which the
immediate needs of business imperatively de-
mand. Consequently, we find that the market
lias become for the time a sellers' market, with
the buyer willing to agree to any reasonable
terms, and even putting up with terms very
unreasonable if thereby he may secure goods
he so badly needs. But in the end it must be
confessed that the existence of the much and
often desired "sellers' market" has turned out
to be less of an unmixed blessing than might
have been expected. The truth, of course, is
that you cannot have your cake and simulta-
neously eat it. It is all very well to have more
orders than you can fill. But if there is no
way of increasing your output in face of the
increase in orders, where do you get off? In
fact, you don't get off, you fall off.
One of the most interesting of recent develop-
ments in the music roll field is concerned with
the adaptation of large player-organs to the reg-
ular 88-note hand-played or regular cut roll, if
it would not be better to talk of adapting the
roll to the instrument. The matter of produc-
ing a sufficient quantity of salable music to fit

the various types of motion picture instruments
has been by no means a simple one, because the
multiplicity of tracker bar arrangements plus
the comparatively small market has made the
cutting of special rolls an expensive process.
Experiments have now been carried on for some
time past, of which the intention has been to
adapt the tracker bars of motion picture players
to the regular 88-note roll. This can be done
in various ways once a standard tracker bar has
been secured corresponding to the requirements
of the standard roll; that is to say, of the same
type as the tracker bar used on the piano. The
means to be adopted in bringing-the compass
of the organ into line with that of the roll will
readily occur to any one who is familiar with
the ordinary player-piano and who knows what
arrangements were made in building combina-
tion 65-88-note tracker bars and actions. The
advantage which will come about through adapt-
ing the player-organ and motion picture organ-
piano to the ordinary piano roll can hardly be
exaggerated. We shall hope that the manu-
facturers of rolls will do their best to encour-
age the movement.
The launching of the Republic roll by a cor-
poration which becomes a division of the Koh-
ler & Campbell Industries is a further indica-
tion, if any were needed, of a present most
healthy condition in the player business. Of
course, no one who is acquainted with the facts
can believe that the present equipment in plant
and capacity of the roll industry is sufficient
for even present needs, not mentioning possible,
and indeed quite certain, expansion throughout
the ensuing years. We are in this industry
very much undersupplied, in spite of the fact
that every roll manufacturer has during the last
year largely increased his plant capacity. The
experiences of the last eighteen months, of
course, have shown plainly that the demand has
never been intelligently enough anticipated. In
a word, the possible output of rolls stimulated
by intelligent merchandising methods has not
been provided for.
We shall soon need the
utmost probable expansion of output by the ex-
isting manufacturers, and there will remain
plenty of space still for new blood to come
into the game. The fact is just beginning to
be realized in this conservative business of ours
that there is really no limit to the consuming
powers of the American people, whilst the pop-
ulation of the enormous continental territory
which is ours still remains sparsely distributed.
The day will come when three hundred million
people will live within the area of the U. S. A.
Then we shall know what national consumption
of any product can look like, in quantity any-
way. The man who imagines limits based on
any present ideas he may have is not a very
wise man. Wonders, in fact, do not cease, and
only a fool supposes they ever will.

CONNORIZED MUSIC CO.
IMPERIAL PLAYER ROLL CO.
This company, which has always gone in for
foreign music to a commendable degree, pub-
lishes two Bohemian and five Italian popu-lar se-
lections in its regular straight-cut edition. The
song roll list is very extensive and comprises
hit after hit. The whole bulletin is unusually
large and popular:
One notices the name of Mary Angell among
the Imperial artists in a Chopin Scherzo, while
Frederick Morley does one of Guinfeld's nice
little pieces, and Charley Straight with various
of his accomplices, performs feats extraordinary
in fox-trots, one-steps, blues and a dozen other
of the present crop of dance excitements. It is
all very joyful and noisy and popular and Im-
perial, and what more could one want?

Q R S CO.
The Q R S list for May is, as is to be ex-
pected, full of interest for the lover of popular
music, with just enough ballads found among
the blues to prevent monotony. There are, for
instance, the "Bigamus Blues" by Morawski-
Kortlander, and played by Kortlander, which
might well be accepted as expressing the misery
of a bigamist in the jail house. Then there are
"Razz-Berries," by Mitchell and Banta, and
played by Confrey, offset by the ballad "Wish-
ing That Dreams Would Come True," played
by Lee S. Roberts himself. But why go on, the
list itself tells its own story. Here it is:
