THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
IMPORTANT PIANOLA RECITAL.
To Be Given Next Wednesday Afternoon at
Milbank Chapel, Columbia University, New
York—Weber Grand Pianola Used at Bazaar
—Activity of Aeolian Export Department.
One of the most important
Pianola recitals ever given in any
part of the country will take place
next Wednesday afternoon, when
Gerard Chatfield, of the Aeolian
concert department, will play a
Weber grand Pianola before an
invited assemblage of music lovers
and a body of music students at
Milbank Chapel, Columbia Uni-
versity, New York. Aside from its
significance as a concert, this event is entitled to
additional importance owing to the fact that it con-
stitutes a part of the regular course in the Columbia
music department, and as such will receive the
careful attention of the students. The recital will
be designated as a "Sonata" recital, and Robert J.
Toedt, violinist, will be the soloist.
The Aeolian export department is making ship-
ments to many foreign points, notwithstanding the
hardships caused by the present war. The world-
wide extent of Aeolian business is well evidenced
by this continuous activity in the face of shipping
handicaps on all sides.
The second Pianola concert of this season will
be held to-day (Saturday) at Aeolian Hall, with
Miss Bertha Knight in costume character dances
as the feature artist. Harold L. O'Brien, of the
Aeolian concert department, will play the Pianola
for some of Miss Knight's dances, with Dion W.
Kennedy at the Aeolian pipe organ.
The Weber grand Pianola played a prominent
part in the bazaar recently held at Tarrytown, N.
Y., under the auspices of the volunteer fire com-
panies of that city. C. A. Laurino, of the Aeolian
retail staff, who is an enthusiastic member of Hope
Hose Co., No. 1, of the Tarrytown Volunteer Fire
Corps, played the Pianola to capacity audiences Ir»
the Corporation building, where the bazaar was
held. The Aeolian Co. carried large advertise-
mi nts in the Tarrytown newspapers during the
course of the bazaar.
