*hat it is distinctly different from the average run
of Broadway musical shows and is full of the sort
of melodies that appeal.
The talking machine records of the various
numbers in "Shuffle Along" have been in great
demand and have been strongly featured by
dealers. The accompanying illustration shows

NEW OKEH RECORD ARTISTS
AN ARTISTIC TALKER DEPARTMENT
Virginia Female Jubilee Singers Added to Okeh
Library—Sing Negro Spirituals in True Spirit
The City Furniture Co., of Chicago, Arranges
Very Complete Talking Machine Department
The General Phonograph Corp. has just an-
nounced a series of Okeh records by a new com-
bination of singers known as the Virginia Female
Jubilee Singers. For months the company's rep-
resentatives had been touring the South in
CHICAGO, III., November 28.—The City Furniture
Co., of this city, one of the largest furniture
stores.on the South Side, has just taken on a
large store next to its main headquarters at
Sixty-second and Halsted streets, and has placed
it entirely at the disposal of musical instruments.
The new music department is one of the most
sumptuous in Chicago, and the largest part of
this new addition is devoted exclusively to Bruns-
wick talking machines. The demonstration
booths, eight in number, are all nine by twelve
feet, and the walls are of triple plate glass.
These glass walls are erected in two layers with
a vacuum space between each. This method of
construction causes the walls to be positively
sound-proof. Each booth is handsomely deco-
rated with the costliest kind of furniture, and an
idea of the expense that was gone to may be
arrived at when the cost of the carpeting alone
is considered This carpet is of a dark blue
color and is made in one piece, and the walls of
the demonstration booths are laid upon it. The
cost of this carpet alone directly from the mills
at wholesale price was a little over $1,200. Be-
sides Brunswick talking machines and records
this company is also handling the well-known
line of Kimball pianos and players and Q R S
music rolls.

search of artists who were capable of interpret-
ing realistically the old-fashioned negro spirituals
and they recently discovered this quartet of
singers in the country regions of Virginia and
engaged them for the Okeh library. These four
young girls are so filled with the true religious
spirit that they have an extensive knowledge of
all the spirituals which have attained any de-
gree of popularity, and which have been handed
down in folk-song fashion from one generation
to another. They sing without any accompani-
ment and their first Okeh records have been
praised enthusiastically.
The company is releasing these records as
standard numbers, and not as novelty selections.
A permanent demand for these Okeh spirituals
is anticipated.
and the proposition could be proved
sound from every angle, you wouldn't
hesitate, would you? Of course not,
but do you realize that a talking machine
department can be made to provide
sufficient revenue to take care of the
overhead on your entire establishment ?
Thousands of other retail music mer-
chants have proved the above made
statement true and thousands of retail
music merchants have looked to T h e
Talking Machine World for guidance
in the matter of selecting the make of
talking machines they would handle, the
way they would map out their talking
machine department, etc.
T h e Talking Machine World is the
oldest and largest trade journal in the
world devoted exclusively to the talking
machine industry.

for several months. Mr. Martin, although quite
young, has achieved remarkable prominence in
the musical world. Born in 1883, he received
his musical education at Trinity College, later
studying under such well-known professors as
Dr. Gordon Saunders and Samuel Coleridge-
Taylor for composition.
He showed early signs of exceptional ability
as a composer and while still young began to
write songs which Showed not only a wonderful
appreciation of vocal values but also a very rare
and attractive originality of design which has
gone far to popularize his compositions through-
out the entire world.
Easthope Martin held during 1914 and 1915 the
post of organist to the late Henry C. Frick, of
New York. All of his compositions are pub-
lished by the firm of Enoch & Sons, New York
and London.
