TYPEWRITER FOR WRITING MUSIC
CENTENARY OF "HOME, SWEET HOME"
ORCHESTRAS FEATURING "ELEANOR"

Music to Be Written at Once

A typewriter for writing down music has
been invented by an Italian musician, Signor
Fortoni, who gave a demonstration of his in-
vention recently to a gathering of musicians in
London. The machine is all that is required.
Not only can a composition be written down as
with pen and ink, but the use of a transfer
paper allows of many copies being made at the
same time. The machine is worked with a
miniature pianoforte keyboard. A pointer is
moved from note to note, and the action se-
cures a correct position on the stave. Trans-
position is easy and the types include the three
clefs required. It can also be used as an or-
dinary typewriter, thus making it possible to
write in the words at the same time as the
music and also to insert any directions required.
The cost, it is stated, will be rather less than
thai of the average typewriter.
LONDON, ENGLAND, March 9.—One hundred years
ago next May 8 "Home, Sweet Home" was
sung in public for the first time. The melody
came in the second act of an opera called
"Clari, or the Maid of Milan," produced at
Covent Garden. The libretto was by John
Howard Payne, at that time a wandering Amer-
ican actor, who later was American consul in
Tunis. The music was composed by Sir Henry
Bishop.
The centenary is to be observed by the sing
ing of the song at concerts throughout the
world.
"Eleanor," the fox-trot from the Sam Fox
Pub. Co. catalog, is proving very popular with
orchestras throughout the country. There was
originally no intention on the part of the pub-
lisher to give this selection the usual popular
campaign. It had for some time been included
in the semi-classic catalog and, of course, was
played quite frequently, particularly for mo-
tion pictures. Paul Whiteman introduced it as
a fox-trot on his own initiative at the Palais
Royal, New York, and the publisher imme-
diately saw the possibilities of "Eleanor" in that
form.
Under plans arranged by the band and orches-
tra department of the Sam Fox Pub. Co.
"Eleanor" will be included in all campaigns dur-
ing the balance of the season.
