NEW PEPPY CLARK ROLLS
Clark Orchestra Roll Company, De Kalb, 111.,
Provides Electric Piano Owners with
New Means to Profits.
New Clark orchestra rolls of electric piano music
have been issued for September by the Clark Or-
chestra Roll Company, De Kalb, 111. The new rolls
are distinguished by the characteristic taste in selec-
tion and up-to-dateness of the De Kalb company, and
the titles of the rolls eloquently suggest the peppy
nature of the tunes.
In the selections are the undeniable hits which
have been made familiar to the public on the stage
and over the radio as well as by the playing of the
more prominent orchestras. The September num-
bers are valuable additions to the fine catalog of
numbers which are making the panio owners busy
profit collectors.
Clark orchestra rolls are made for the following
automatic instruments, 65-note rewind coin operated
electric pianos, using Zy 2 inch cores: Cremona;
Eberhardt; Empress 65-note; Engelhardt; Eusym-
phonic; Harwood; Heller; Howard; Jewett; Lehr;

FRENCH VIOLINS.
French violin makers have again justified their
claim to produce the finest-toned violins in the world,
says a correspondent of London Music. At the
close of the International Music Exhibition at
Geneva, 51 violins by the best-known modern makers
throughout the world were tested. The judges
awarded the first prize to M. Gallicaune, of Paris,
who, while looking through some Italian manu-
scripts dated 1716, has discovered the formula for
the famous Cremona varnish. The second prize went
to M. Hel, of Lille. The instruments entered by
these makers received several hundreds of points
more than the next in order of merit.
PLAY MAYOR WALKER'S SONG.
When Mayor Walker of New York arrived in
Dublin last wek he got one pleasant surprise that
nattered him. In the midst of the reception, when
Mayor Walker and Mrs. Walker and their party
came ashore, there was much to remind him of New
York and the United States. He heard "The Star-
Spangled Banner," "Sweet Rosie O'Grady," "East
Side, West Side" and "Come Back to Erin," and
even his own composition, "Will You Love Me in
December as You Did in May?" This last tune was
played by the boys' band of the Artane School, and
pleased him immensely.
