WINS RADIO FANS' PLAUDITS
Vincent Lopez and His Hotel Pennsylvania Orches-
tra Give Credit to Martin Instrument.
Xews of the recent triumph of Vincent Lopez and
his Hotel Pennsylvania Orchestra in a contest to de-
cide the most popular organization broadcasting from
Station YVEAF, New York City, was received with
particular gratification by the Martin Band Instru-
ment Company of Elkhart, Ind., inasmuch as the in-
struments used by the winning musicians are all
Martins.
F. A. Holtz, sales manager of the Martin Company,
sent a letter of congratulation to Mr. Lopez, who is
now on tour with his orchestra after many weeks of
brilliant success at the New York Hippodrome.
Jack Allyn's Aces, with Miss Alice Tyrell, featured
on the Orpheum Vaudeville Circuit, are winning
much favor in every town where they appear. Dur-
ing the course of the South Bend, Ind., engagement
recently several of his musicians took advantage of
their nearness to Elkhart, Ind., to visit the factory
of the Martin Band Instrument Company there and
equip themselves with Martin Handcraft Instruments.
ANOTHER BANDMAN'S BAN.
The Boston Musicians' Protective Association at a
recent meeting put a ban on union musicians broad-
casting by radio without a substantial fee. A new
by-law has been placed on the constitution which
provides for payment for all services in the broadcast-
ing of concerts by radio.
