THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
The Temple of Music.
THE MAGNIFICENT BUILDING BEARING THIS
TITLE TO BE ERECTED FOR THE
PAN-AMERICAN EXPOSITION.
The Temple of Music designed by Esen-
wein & Johnson, of Buffalo, for the Pan-
American Exposition to be held in that
city, will cover a plot of ground 150 feet
square and will be located on the north-
west corner of the Esplanade and the
Court of Fountains. The exterior of this
handsome building will be treated archi-
tecturally after the style of the Spanish
Renaissance. It will be octagonal in shape,
with octangle pavilions at each corner.
The main entrance will be through the
pavilion on the corner of the Esplanade
restaurants and balconies will give a
further seating accommodation for 1600
people. The other pavilions in addition
to the one used for the main entrance will
be occupied by the stage and for a fully
equipped restaurant with the necessary
kitchen adjuncts, serving rooms, etc. The
auditorium is only a few steps below the
floor grade of the restaurant, and the par-
tition between the restaurant and audi-
torium will be glazed so that people seated
at the tables can overlook the audience
and enjoy the concert or entertainment
at the same time. The flat-domed roof of
the auditorium will be supported by eight
massive piers. Between the piers will be
large arches opening into the galleries, to
the main entrance and leading to the
Opening of Heuer Hall.
The formal inauguration of Heuer Hall
and the palatial warerooms of E. Heuer &
Co. in Mexico City, occurred last week.
Countless friends of the firm, including
the elite of the city, were in attendance
and were handsomely entertained by Mr.
Heuer and his associates. The outside of
the new building was elaborately decorat-
ed with flags of all nations, and the local-
ity had a veritable holiday appearance. In
the near future we expect to give our read-
ers an idea of the appearance of this im-
portant music trade establishment of the
Mexican capial.

Charleston, W. Va., June 14, 1900.
Among the new companies incorporated
here to-day was that of the Choralcelo
Manufacturing Co. to manufacture and
deal in electrical musical instruments. In-
corporators: F. M. Crosby, W. L. Flint,
G. S. Heath, G. B. Sinclair, A. B. Upham,
all of Wakefield, Mass. Capital, $3,000,000.
Now on Exhibition.
The magnificent exhibit of the manufac-
tures of the National Musical String Co.,
New Brunswick, N. J., designed for the
Paris Exposition, has reached Paris in
safety, and is now in position and ex-
hibited in the Pavilion of Liberal Arts, Mu-
sical Section. We are advised that it is
attracting considerable attention. It is
unique and individual in its line and af-
fords an excellent idea of the develop-
ment and perfection of the string industry
in the United States.

and Court of Fountains. Each of the
facades of the main building will have a
richly ornamented colonnade. Between
the columns will be large window open-
ings and ornamental panels, each bearing
a portrait bust of some musical composer.
The cornice, frieze and balustrade of the
main building will be designed in a florid
adaptation of the Spanish Renaissance and
balustrade will carry tablets bearing the
names of noted musicians and composers.
On the corners above the pavilions will be
.groups of statuary representing music,
dancing, etc.
The chief features of the drum of the
dome will be star-shaped windows resem-
bling those se@n in the ancient Spanish
mission buildings. These windows will
light the interior of the auditorium. The
dome and the roofs of the pavilions will
be richly gilded. Gold and brilliant color-
ing will be freely used in all the exterior
decoration. The crown of the dome will
be 136 feet above the grade of the Court
of Fountains, and the Temple and its pa-
vilions will form a very attractive part of
the landscape scheme of the entire group
of Exposition buildings.
The auditorium, which will seat 1200
persons, will be a few steps up from the
grade of the building and in addition the
st-age. Over each of the eight large arches
will be a cartouch bearing an inscription
indicating one of the grand divisions of
music—Oratorio, Grand Opera, Symphonic
Music, Lyric Music, etc. The lighting
will be through the star-shaped windows
previously mentioned, passing through
eight ceiling lights each having 320 square
feet of glass. The front of the galleries
will be decorated with a frieze of singing
cherubs. An elaborate and complete sys-
tem of heating and ventilating will be
adopted for this building. Numerous
and commodious entrances and exits will
be provided, so that absolute safety to
visitors will be assured. The interior, as
well as the exterior of the Temple of
Music,will be treated with a view to secur-
ing the best architectural effects.
In the Temple of Music will be erected
one of the largest and finest organs in the
United States. It will be an exceedingly
beautiful and complete instrument, with
all the latest improvements in organ build-
ing. It will have four manuals and about
fifty speaking stops and will be voiced on
three different wind pressures. The ac-
tion will be the most complete style of
tubular pneumatic. The mechanical con-
trivances and combinations will be most
complete and include many varieties not
hitherto used.
It has been proposed to employ the
graphophone as an aid in learning foreign
languages. In learning a language it is
necessary first of all to have the ear trained
to catch and recognize the sounds, and the
only way to accomplish this is to listen to
the continual repetition of the sounds until
the ear becomes familiar with them. Many
persons have to learn a foreign language
without any aid from a teacher that can
speak that language correctly, and even
those that are so fortunate as to have a
competent teacher cannot constantly have
the teacher at hand. Now it is proposed
to have phonographic records of language
lessons; then the student can have the
machine repeat the lesson over and over
again until he is perfectly familiar with it.
C. E. Byrne, of the C. E. Byrne Piano
Co., who is spending a brief vacation in
Europe, stayed several days in Ireland
before crossing the channel en route to
Paris. The Byrne factory report shows
an active demand for all styles.
Joseph Bareuther, Gabler ambassador,
arrived in town on Tuesday, after a lengthy
trip in the Gabler interests.
Omie Houghton reports the veneer situ-
ation excellent.
A new music store has been opened in
Attica, Ind., by H. S. Linton.
