"Although the organ roll finds its greatest
use in the theatre it is rapidly winning a place
for itself in hotels, mortuaries, lodges and per-
haps the greatest field, of all—the home. The
possibilities are great and development along
these lines has scarcely begun.
"In its mechanical aspect the roll must be
considered as a unit with the organ. The auto-
matic player-organ is silent without the roll,
and the finest organ is no better than its best
roll. It is natural that each manufacturer de-
signing a roll for his organ adopt such a track-
erbar scheme as will seem best fitted to the
type of organ intended to be built, and as a
consequence there are almost as many types of
rolls as there are types of organs.
"Out of the confusion of the multiplicity of
organ rolls, there has come the realization that
the roll with all its limitations as well as its
possibilities must be adjusted to the organ with
the utmost precaution and with a special care
to its possible future development.
"With each attempt to arrange a roll for any
specified organ the urgent necessity for the per-
fectly harmonious relationship between roll and
organ is repeatedly emphasized, and the need
for a careful adjustment of trackerbar scheme
and slots to the uses to which the organ may
be put, is further stressed. It is important that
as much freedom as possible in the use, as well
as the choice, of stops be given, what for lack
of a better term, may be called flexibility of
operation through the medium of the roll. That
organ manufacturers are well aware of this fact
is shown by inquiries which are received as to
possible trackerbar arrangements and the me-
chanics of the player roll."

"I believe that the radio show and the piano
convention if held in combination here in Chi-
cago would be of great benefit to both indus-
tries," said R. A. Burke, sales manager of the
Story & Clark Piano Co. He continued:
"I came back from the New York piano con-
vention very much pleased with the serious,
earnest, studious atmosphere of that show.
There was a good attendance of dealers, but
of even more importance was their attitude.
They came this time to study the situation and
learn whatever they could from anyone, as to
how to improve conditions in the piano trade
and increase sales. Hence all the dealers' meet-
ings were very well attended, and nobody was
absent, having a good time.
"When I came back to Chicago I found that
a large number of piano dealers from widely
scattered territory who had not been to the
New York piano convention were here to
attend the radio show. We got a very satisfac-
tory amount of business from many of these
dealers, who also placed large radio orders, and
have not lost interest in the piano business be-
cause they realize that the piano and the radio
can be helpful to each other instead of being
trade antagonists."
World's Fair Expected to
Boom Music in Chicago
The importance of the Chicago World's Fair
in 1933 to the music industry was outlined to
the music men of this city by Ambrose Wyrick,
head of the Wyrick Publishing Co., a member
of the committee of the Chicago's World's Fair
Centennial Celebration, at the meeting of the
Chicago Piano Club on Monday, June 18.
"The World's Fair is going to make Chicago
the center of music as well as the other arts,
and will be the greatest event the Middle West
has ever known. As the World's Columbian
Exposition in 1893 first put Chicago on the in-
event can do. This centennial celebration, it
is conservatively estimated, will bring seventy-
five million visitors to Chicago," he said.
Mr. Wyrick also contributed to this highly
interesting program by singing several numbers
which he had written about Chicago.
Chicago Fund for
American Opera Company
The American Opera Society of Chicago, Inc.,
has undertaken to raise $20,000 before June 20,
to finance a Summer session of the American
Opera Co., for the purpose of making Chicago
its permanent home. The object is to finance
the establishment of a Summer session for
study, intensive training, rehearsal and the per-
formance of a short season of Summer opera,
and also to promote subscriptions to the regu-
lar season of the company in Chicago.
Club Campaign Extended
The Chicago Piano Club announces that the
membership campaign which was to have ended
this month has been extended to September 30.
The prizes offered the captains of the various
teams and the members for bringing in new
applications will be presented at the annual
meeting of the organization in October.
