EIGHTY HAPPY "BLUES."
The Vocalstyle Company, of Cincinnati, has sent to
the trade a list of the "Blues" put forth in the popular
song rolls of that industry. The titles indicate a
lively lot of numbers, and the manner of their presen-
tation is of a kind to stimulate any music dealer to
hurry in the orders. The list of 80 blues is introduced,
by this characteristic verse:
"Listen heah, Babe,
Desc Vocalstyle Song Roll Blues
Am de bes' in town!
Dey put music in yo' shoes—
Le's pick 'em up an' lay 'em down."
THE PHONOGRAPH SHOW.
The plans for a phonograph exhibition in New
York some time in 1924, possibly in the spring, are
about to be revived at the next meeting of Talking
Machine Men, Inc. The proposal to hold such an ex-
hibition was made at a luncheon-meeting of the asso-
ciation named last fall, but nothing definite was ac-
complished. No official action was taken. It was
said that if a sufficient number of big dealers evinced
an interest in the show it would be likely a phono-
graph show would be a big trade event of the spring.
PACIFIC SOUTHWEST INDUSTRIES.
The manufacture of phonographs is considered
among the leading industries of the Pacific Southwest
listed by the Los Angeles Times, which says: "The
expansion in industrial production within the Pacific-
Southwest has probably been one of the most out-
standing features of the economic developments of
1923. The industrial- output of the city of Los An-
geles alone is now valued in excess of $1,000,000,000
a year and is steadily expanding."
PLAYS HARMONICA; FINED $5.
Shades of British red coats and the Boston massa-
cre! A citizen has been fined $5 for playing a har-
monica on Boston Common. There was a stir in
court when the clerk read the name of Thomas
Lynch, 21. Lynch replied: "Yes, sir, I did play the
harmonica on the Common, but I didn't suppose I
was breaking any law. I was playing 'Why Should
I Crv Over You.'"
The Hughes Music Co. is located temporarily at
1141 Broad street, Columbus, Ga., across the street
from its store recently damaged by fire to the extent
of about $200,000.
