MORE MARCH COLUMBIA ROLLS
Further Additions to the Long List of New Roll
Music Printed Last Week.
The following Word Rolls (fox-trots) are supple-
mentary to the long list of Columbia rolls for March
printed in Presto last week:
544—Saw Mill River Road; 550—Open Your Arms,
My Alabamy; 546—'Til My Luck Comes Rolling
Along; 553—Lady of the Evening; 555—Away Down
East in Maine; 554—You Know You Belong to
Somebody Else.
These additions to the contents of the March bulle-
tin of the Columbia Music Roll Co., 22 South Peoria
street, Chicago, further strengthen the assurances of
Columbia dealers for a good roll business for the next
month. The timeliness of the selections in the entire
list shows the excellent judgment of the management.
Dealers and player-owners familiar with the excel-
lences of Columbia roll recording feel assured that
the new numbers for March have the musical quali-
ties to please the most exacting.
To please Columbia roll buyers is the object of the
Columbia Music Roll Co. The company is now
notable for its service to customers. But in its
opinion service should be synonymous with satisfac-
tion. The constant effort is to make it so. A satis-
fied customer is a continuous one, is a belief that
animates the Columbia Music Roll Co. in producing
the best rolls.
MME. DE HORVATH'S RECORDS
Distinguished Pianist Contributes Five Numbers for
March Bulletin of De Luxe Music Roll Corporation.
Cecile De Horvath, considered one of the most dis-
tinguished American pianists, will record her playing
exclusively for the De Luxe Welte-Mignon (Licensee)
Library, the first release of her recording to be com-
prised in the March Bulletin of the De Luxe Music
Roll Corp., New York.
The March releases of Mine. De Horvath records
are the following: Au clair de la lune (From Suite a
Bergamasque) (DeBussy); Minuet A' 1' Antico No.
3 (Seeboeck): Papillons, Op. 2, Nos. 1-8 (Schu-
mann); Papillons, Op. 2, Nos. 9-12 (Schumann);
Toccata, Hommage a Czerny, Op. 45, No. 5 (Les-
chetizky).
Cecile De Horvath, a native of Boston, showed
early promise of an unusual career. She was gradu-
ated from Swarthmore College at an early age, much
earlier than that of the average student. After pre-
liminary musical studies in America, she went to Ber-
lin, where she studied for four years with Safanoff, To Make Change of Location Without Postponing
