Display Modern Orchestra
ROCHESTER, N. Y., October 19.—The instrumenta-
tion of a modern dance orchestra is the subject
of a window display in the Wurlitzer store on
Main street, which is attracting a good deal of

attention. The assortment of saxophones, trum-
pets, banjos and other instruments in the dis-
play is valued at $5,000. E. C. Leavitt, travel-
ling representative of the Rudolph Wurlitzer
Co., is here with the display and is explaining
the use and history of the various instruments
to visitors to the store, which is attracting very
much attention.

Keith Houses Places Instruments Prom-
inently Before New York Public
Conn band instruments are now in the lime-
light more than ever in New York City, with
Roger Wolfe Kahn's orchestra featuring them
in nearly every vaudeville house in the Metro-
politan district. This fashionable dance orches-
tra, which has been the drawing card at the
exclusive Hotel Biltmore for several months, is
now touring the Keith-Albee theatres of New
York and Brooklyn for several weeks, playing a
week at each theatre and holding down the
Biltmore job at the same time.
The present week finds the Kahn band at
the Palace, which is merely across the street
from the New York Conn Co.'s store, so that
a host of New York's musicians and music
lovers have been attracted to the Conn store
as a result of the orchestra's programs and per-
formances. Roger Wolfe Kahn, it will be
remembered, is the son of Otto Kahn, the inter-
national banker, and he selected and endorsed
Conn instruments, not so much because of the
similarity of name with his but because of their
musical qualities. It will also be remembered
that the Roger Kahn Orchestra was chosen to
supply the music at President Coolidge's in-
augural ball last Winter.
