SAN FRANCISCO, CAL., January 21.—The Conn San
Francisco Co.'s Building on Kearny street has
just been equipped' with a handsome marquee,
electrically illuminated. Three floors of this
building are given over to sales of Conn instru-
ments, and on one of the floors a handsome
new salesroom has been equipped. One of the
many noticeable features of this room consists
of two twin spotlights, which are trained on
;i special collection of Conn instruments, in the
center of which is a large oil painting of Rube
Wolf, now conducting at the Granada Theatre
here. Mr. Wolf, who uses Conn instruments for
his work, is at present giving special demon-
strations in the Conn Building for the Conn
San Francisco Co. Daniel Miller, San Fran-
cisco manager for the company, says that other
directors will be featured successively.

its State and National trophies in the coming
high school band contests to be held in connec-

opinion of E. J. Delano, manager of the Sher-
man-Clay retail small goods department.

the ensemble of instruments by this vast audi-
ence.
Taking it in a broad way this great event
was much more than merely a commercial ad
vertising project. It stands out as an achieve-
ment, a record of progress and a display of
the boundless possibilities of radio. The Ameri-
can public loves the spectacular. Here they
were given a marvelous event, and it would
hardly have been complete without a display of
the most modern development in dance orches-
tra music.
Paul Whiteman's own interpretation and en-
dorsement of the banjo and its place in the
American dance orchestra has been reprinted
in a pamphlet issued by William L. Lange, 225

facturer of Paramount banjos.
