NEW GENNETT RECORDS
Alluring List of Dancing, Vocal and Other
Music for Phonograph Just Issued by
the Starr Piano Co.
The popularity of pipe organ music is shown by
the favor for pipe organ records in the Gennett line.
Number 5745 in a new series of productions is a big
seller and the organ records in the Gennett line have
aroused great enthusiasm in phonograph owners, ac-
cording to the Starr Piano Co., Richmond, Ind.,
makers of Gennett records.
Coincident with the development and great popu-
larity of theater organ music comes a demand for
organ records. The first Gennett record of this type
is played by Milton Charles, organist of the Tivoli
Theater, Chicago, and reveals the brilliant tonal
colorings, the power and the spirit of the greatest of
all musical instruments—the pipe organ. "Sometime,"
a waltz, and "Are You Sorry," although in popular
vein, portray the magnificent splendor and orchestral
tonal effects of the pipe organ and becomes a bril-
liantly beautiful record.
Other records just issued by the company are:
For Dancing— Im So Disappointed in You, waltz,
"Piggy" Jones and His Orchestra, Franklyn Bauer,
vocal chorus, and Don't Wake Me Up (Let Me Dream),

UKES SELLING WELL
High-Grade Ukuleles and High-Grade Banjos in Big
Demand at Lyoni & Healy's.
"We are having a good holiday business in the
newer styles of small musical instruments, such as
the ukulele," said Manager Roberts of the Small
goods department of Lyon & Healy, Chicago, to a
Presto representative, on Monday of this week.
"I mean the higher-priced ukuleles, banjos, and
the like. The development in this line is little short
of marvelous. Local players in hundreds of small
towns have sent in orders for this class of goods.
They have formed clubs in many places devoted to
the study of musical-instrument playing, and if there
is a local soloist among them he gets his chance.
"They have a pardonable pride in these organiza-
tions, and some of them have sent me pictures of
their groups. One of the best photographs of the
kind arrived yesterday—a photograph of a group of
girl players in a Wisconsin town. None of these
groups want cheap stuff—they invariably order the
best."
FEATURING CONN INSTRUMENTS.
The band instruments of C. G. Conn, Ltd., Elkhart,
Ind., are ably featured in Indianapolis by the Fuller-
Ryde Co., which has a large and well managed musi-
cal merchandise department. The band and orches-
tra business of the house has grown amazingly within
the last few years. The window shows of the com-
pany when devoted to band instruments are sources
of great attraction.
ASKS RECEIVER NAMED.
A complaint to collect $900 and to have a receiver
appointed to straighten out the affairs of Tony Sandi

Logansport, Ind., last week by the Columbia Grapho-
phone company. Long and Yarlott filed the com-
plaint.

FOR RUBBER USERS
Secretary Hoover Energetic in Inaugurating
Action in Surveys Leading the American
Rubber Production.
Investigation of the alleged manipulation of the
crude rubber market by British colonial governments
in order to maintain prohibitive prices to American
manufacturers is asked in the resolution ordered re-
ported to the house by the rules committee last week.
The resolution is the result of conferences with
Secretary of Commerce Hoover, who declared he will
ask the interstate and foreign commerce committee
to undertake the inquiry at once. ,
Seventy per cent of the world's production of crude
rubber is consumed in the United States. The arti-
ficial famine created by British production restriction
to advance prices will cost the United States at
least $700,000,000 over a fair price during the coming
year if consumption continues to increase.
Secretary Hoover announced last week that reports
of exhaustive surveys into the possibilities of grow-
ing rubber in Mexico, Central America, northern por-
tions of South America, and the West Indian and
Caribbean islands are practically completed and will
be available within a few weeks.
Other surveys authorized by congress several years
ago have determined that large areas in the Philip-
pine Islands and in the.Amazon valley in South
America are "as favorable for rubber planting as
are those of the Middle East," to quote one of the
reports.
In fact, it was found that extensive sections in the
Philippine Islands "would be superior to the lands
now generally available for new plantations in Su-
matra and Malaya, the principal rubber producing
districts of the world."
