THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
A. B. CHASE IN FLORAL PARADE.
THE QUESTION OF ACTIONS.
WILL PLAY THE BALDWIN.
"Speaking of actions," remarked a piano
manufacturer in the office of The Review this
week, "I want to say that since using the
Strauch actions I have been convinced of
an action standard, and that the Strauchs
have understood this condition all along when
they have been developing the piano action
to its present position is also apparent. A
great house, the Strauch."
It is hardly
necessary to add that this particular manufac-
turer builds only high-grade pianos. The
Strauch actions are found in no others.
Mrs. Lisa Delhaze-Wickes, a pianist who
has won a distinguished position in the con-
cert field in Europe and more recently in this
country, having made her debut most suc-
cessfully at the Waldorf-Astoria last Octo-
ber, will be one of the several artists who
will aid in the artistic exploitation of the
Baldwin piano during the coming musical
season.
Mrs. Delhaze-Wickes has appeared in the
principal musical centers of Belgium and
Germany, with such distinguished artists as
Cesar Thompson and Sarasate. While on
one of these tours, she was heard by a direc-
tor of the Royal Conservatory of Music of
Liege, Belgium, who secured her services as
professor of piano for that famous institution.
Her success at this famous conservatory was
most pronounced. In her thirteen years of
faithful work she has to her credit many pu-
pils who are to-day renowned as soloists and
professors in Europe.
Since her first public appearance in this
country, Mme. Delhaze-Wickes has been
much in demand for recitals and musicals,
and her interests in this connection will be in
charge during the coming season of Mr. Ar-
nold Somlyo, 95-104 Carnegie Hall.
A number of other artists of note will play
the Baldwin concert grand during the com-
ing season, and the prospects are that ere
the close of the first year of the new century
a much wider knowledge will prevail of the
merits of the Baldwin grand which secured
the Grand Prix at the Paris Exposition.
[Special to The Review.]
Detroit, Mich., Aug. 6, 1901.
One of the most attractive equipages in
the great Floral Parade held in this city, was
that of the A. B. Chase Piano Company. It
consisted of an open carriage with an orna-
mental open-work canopy-top, trimmed in
white and old gold, relieved by festoons of
beautiful natural flowers. The horses were
enveloped in flowing folds of white with old
gold trimmings, and they were led by two
men in Greek costumes, with gorgeous robes
of the prevailing colors.
Seated in the carriage were Calvin Whit-
ney, president of the A. B. Chase Co.; L. A.
West, treasurer, and Warren C. Whitney, all
of Norwalk, O., and S. B. Smith, of this
city, Michigan agent for this company. The
A. B. Chase equipage was greatly admired
and heartily applauded.
EXPOSITION BOOKLETS FOR WEAVER.
The Weaver Organ & Piano Co. of York,
Pa., have received from the department of
Publicity at the Pan-American Exposition,
250 copies of a beautiful booklet on Music
at the Exposition. They have sent these
booklets out to their regular agents as sou-
venirs, each book being accompanied with
a fine map of the exposition grounds, litho-
graphed in colors.
Thomas & Snyder, of Urichsville, O., have
opened a music store in the Union Block,
London, O.
STILL ON UPWARD TREND.
It has frequently been assumed that the
high level of last year's phenomenal commer-
cial operations could not be repeated this
year. Reports on the volume of trade for
the six months ending June 30 do not bear
out this prediction. Figures gathered by the
Treasury Bureau of Statistics, on the move-
ments of internal commerce for the first half
of 1901, show that, as a rule, the contrary is
true and that the tide of commercial pros-
perity is still on the upward trend.
Owing to delay in completing alterations
the Starr Piano Co. will not be able to oc-
cupy their new warerooms, 138-140 Pennsyl-
vania street, Indianapolis, Ind., until Sept. 1.
Herman Giese, the string man of Dolge-
ville, left last week for Germany. He will
return in October.
