Buescher Protests Barring
of Musicians by France
Cables American Ambassador in Paris in Pro-
test Against the Ousting of American Musi-
cians by French Government
Ferdinand A. Buescher, president of the
Buescher Maud Instrument Co., Elkhart, Ind.,
cabled his protest to Myron T. Herrick, Ameri-
can Ambassador to France, on Wednesday
against the drastic action of the French gov-
ernment in barring American jazz musicians
from France and ousting them from the country.
Mr. Buescher's action is in line with similar
protests filed by Irving Berlin in behalf of the
American music writers and Joseph Weber,
president of the American Federation of Mu-
sicians.
Mr. Bueschcr's cablegram read as follows:
"As the largest manufacturer of saxophones
in the world and an American citizen, I wish
to add my protest to that of Paul Specht and
other American musicians against the action
of the French government in banning American
dance orchestras. A Frenchman invented our
national instrument, though we perfected it.
Surely there is work and glory enough for both
French and Americans. Can you not intercede
in behalf of our musicians in France?"
In addition to sending a cable to Ambassador
Herrick, Mr. Buescher telegraphed Secretary of
Labor Davis as follows:
"French labor authorities threaten to deport
American professional musicians performing in
Paris, Deauville, Biarritz and other famous re-
sorts. Though loath to encourage reprisals,
we wish to draw your attention to the fact that
by the provisions of the Johnson law, which
classifies foreign musicians as laborers, America
can deport ten French musicians to one Ameri-
can deported from France. If France forces
the issue all United States symphony orchestras
would be crippled. We urge you to use your
good offices to avert the necessity for such re-
prisal. (Signed) Paul Specht, The Paul Specht
Orchestras, New York; F. A. Buescher,
Buescher Band Instrument Co., Elkhart, Ind."

been announced. The company, composed of
Robert, William F. and Robert L. Buech, opened
a store at 475 Eleventh avenue about a year and
a half ago. The success of this store has re-
sulted in the opening of the downtown store,
which will now be the headquarters of the con-
cern. The Buech Saxophone Shop is exclusive
agent for the King band instruments, and also
handles Holton instruments, Bacon and Vega
banjos, Ludwig drums and a full line of im-
ported and domestic violins. Both the sale and
repair of these instruments are featured by the
shop. The Wells street store will also be made
the studio for the music school conducted by
the Buech company. Nearly 300 students are
now taking lessons. Many of these pupils pur-
chased instruments from the Buech shop and
are taking advantage of the offer of a course
of ten lessons free. Three teachers are cm-
ployed in the school. During the opening week
a program of music was presented every eve-
ning at the shop.

i/.ed. Instruction in playing instruments as well
as the privilege of using the hall of the Kessel-
man-O'Driscoll educational department at 310
Grand avenue is provided at $1 a month. Classes
are being organized for giving instruction in
banjo, mandolin, guitar, ukulele, violin, 'cello
and other stringed instruments, as well as for
saxophones and military band instruments. The
company hopes to uncover many new prospects
for Holton instruments through these classes
in addition to providing necessary supplies.
The only Woman's Legion Band in the coun-
try has been organized in Milwaukee through
the efforts of the band manager, Miss Laura
Hall, and John L. McCully, of the Kesselman-
O'Driscoll Co. When the women had been or-
ganized by Miss Hall, Holton band instruments
were purchased from the Kesselman-O'Driscoll
store and the women were given the free instruc-
tions that are offered by the company with the
purchase of every Holton instrument. The band
made its first appearance during Music Week.
