J. M. Delcamp and Adam Carroll in direct com-
parison with the Republic rolls of the same selec-
tions.
The concert, extending through the entire after-
noon and evening, drew an audience which crowded
the showrooms to the doors, and the efforts of both
artists were received with decided enthusiasm.
Air. Delcamp is both artist and composer, and all
users of Republic rolls are familiar with the orig-
ftiality he puts into a rendition. Many of Adam
Carroll's recent recordings are receiving favorable
mention in player roll circles, and in his work at the
Kunkel opening he demonstrated that mastery of
the keyboard which made him a leader among re-
cording artists.
