Second Annual Week Sponsored by the
Cleveland Music Association Opens
This Year to Be by Far the Greatest Tie-Up of Things Musical Ever Held in That
City—Jerry Goldsmith Opening New Music Store
/ C L E V E L A N D , O., November 1.—Cleveland's
^•^ second annual week opened on Sunday, Oc-
tober 30, and will end November 5. It is being
sponsored by the Cleveland Music Association.
It is by far the greatest tie-up of things musi-
cal that has ever Bfeen attempted in Cleveland
and should prove of inestimable benefit to the
entire music industry because it is being backed
by columns of publicity not only in the three
large daily newspapers but in all the foreign
language newspapers in Cleveland as well.
Music in a number of forms is available all day
and evening through the three broadcasting sta-
tions, open air concerts, studio recitals, in music
stores, arcades and elsewhere. Harry Valentine,
vice-president of the Dreher Piano Co., is on
the board of directors of the Cleveland Music
Association, and is in charge of the activities
of the music stores in connection with the event.
Special window displays are being shown and
pianos are being loaned for public concerts. Spe- "
cial concerts are being given in the piano,
phonograph and radio departments. City Man-
ager Hopkins is honorary chairman of Music
Week and the City Council have gone on record
as endorsing it.
The Knabe Warerooms have taken over the
Chickering line of pianos formerly handled by
the Way Co. These pianos are being sold from
the Mason & Hamlin Warerooms of which M.
O. Mattlin is head. Both stores were open
every evening this week in order to give the
public an opportunity to hear reckais of the
new Ampico Symphonique, which is creating a
great deal of interest in local musical circles.
Adam Carroll, Ampico recording artist, played a
week's engagement at the Allen Theatre this
week and met with a very cordial reception.
Cleveland will soon have a unique music store
on Euclid avenue near East Seventeenth street,
right across from Keith's Palace Theatre. It
will be known as Jerry's Playhouse Square
Music Shoppe and the proprietor will be Jerry
Goldsmith. The store will not be open for sev-
eral weeks yet as remodeling of the premises is
now under way. Mr. Goldsmith has been lo-
cated in the Starr Piano Co. store since start-
ing in business. The plans for t£e *xterior of
the new store show that it will belike a bunga-

Occupies New Building
AUGUSTA, GA., October 29.—The formal open-
ing of the new two-story home of Manning's
Music Store, at 317 Eighth street, was held this
week and the new quarters were visited by
hundreds of patrons of the establishment. The
new store is just a few doors from the building
occupied by the Manning house since 1915 and
affords exceptional display space for all kinds
of musical instruments. William P. Manning,
proprietor of the business, opened the store
here in 1911 at 1046 Broad street, and it has
grown steadily since that time. The concern
handles Steinway' and Milton pianos, Bruns-
wick Panatropes and records, King band instru-
ments, radio "and musical accessories.

interior will be in harmony. Mr. Goldsmith
promises that there will be nothing like it in
Cleveland. He carries the Holton line of band
instruments and a full line of small goods and
sheet music.
The Starr Piano Co. is putting on a series
of concerts that is bringing it a great deal
of favorable comment. These are broadcast over
Station WJAY every Sunday at 2 p. m.
and are in charge of Clyde Wood. Starr re-
producing pianos and Isosonic phonographs are
used and there are assisting artists also. The
company has a special window display this
week as a tie-up with these events which are
known as "Star Time "
