ILGENFRITZ HEARD FROM
Letter from McNair Ilgenfritz to U. S. Music
Co.'s Record Manager Has Interesting
Trade Facts.
Intimate news of the recording artists is best told
in letters from the individuals themselves. For that
reason the following letter from McNair Ilgenfritz,
concert and recording pianist, to Miss M. E. Brown,
recording manager for the United States Music Co.,
is both timely and interesting:
London, June 24th, 1925.
Dear Miss Brown:
It will not be long now till 1 see you. I land in
New York on July 17th, SS. America, and of course
will look up Mr. Bliss and talk over rolls to he
ulaved and edited, as he knows the trade. 1 had a
where a single cigarette stub is enough to start a mil-
lion dollar blaze. Radio also often brings valuable
information to fire outposts. One night, up in
Lassen county, 1 got news of fires and progress
made against them from all up and down the coast.
Nothing before radio has ever been able to bring in
such comprehensive reports."
MEL-O-DEE WINNERS.
Winners in recent numbers in Mel-O-Dee music
rolls are Mel-O-Dee Roll Xo. 47018, Because of You-
(The World Is Mine), fox trot played by Phil
Ohman, and No. 47019, Charleston, fox trot played
by Freddie Rich. These are specially priced word
rolls at 7Sc each listed in the August Mel-O-Dee
roll bulletin, and are now ready for immediate de-
livery, in advance of their scheduled release date.
FISHING WAS GOOD.
Ray Malmquist, secretary of the J. P. Seeburg Co.,
1510 Dayton street, Chicago, returned last week from
a fishing trip in Northern Minnesota. The fishing
season is at its height in the northern woods and Mr,
Malmquist had quite a successful venture. Accom-
panying the Seeburg official were E. O. Ball, Seeburg
representative and a Seeburg dealer who was invited
to try his luck with the rod and reel.
PIANO IN OPEN-AIR CONCERT.
Tn the concert at the Zoo, Cincinnati last week the
event was made doubly interesting by the experiment
of presenting a piano soloist with orchestra in open-
air concert. Miss Ferguson, presented by Conductor
Frank Waller, is a gifted player, equipped with a
splendid technique and endowed with gifts of the
intellect and soul, gifts that she combines in admir-
able balance. She played the Hungarian fantasy for
piano and orchestra by Liszt, using a Baldwin piano.

letter from him in Vienna saying he liked my work,
but what pleased me more, that the salesmen liked
it. They are generally pretty frank critics.
I wrote Mr. Friestedt about playing at Budapest
for the Ambassador. Following is another item for
the trade journals: When 1 flew from Paris to fill
engagements in London, 1 took up in the plane with
me my four octave dumb piano—probably the first
time a piano of any description was ever taken up in
an aeroplane, and did scales all the way over.
I played in London at musicales given by the
Honorable Mrs. Ames and by Mrs. Harry T. Brown
of Washington, D. C , who has leased Spencer House
from the Farl of Spencer for the London Season.
Looking forward to seeing you the first of August,
Yours ever sincerely,
