Ideal Moving Picture Orchestra Made by the
North Tonawanda Musical Instrument Works
Proving Popular and Successful in All Sec-
tions of the Country—Some Features
NORTH TONAWANDA, N. Y., September 5.—One
of the busiest of the industries in this section
of the State is the plant of the North Tonawanda
Musical Instrument Works, manufacturers of
the "Pianolin" for use in refreshment parlors
and other similar resorts and of the Ideal Mov-
ing Picture Orchestras especially designed for
use in motion picture theatres.
The extent of the company's business was par-
ticularly emphasized upon a recent visit of The
Review representative at which time one Ideal
Moving Picture Orchestra was being boxed for
delivery in Portland, Me., another was ready
for shipment to Brooklyn, N. Y., and a third
is being tested preparatory for shipment to
San Francisco. In addition to covering the
various sections of the United States the com-
pany has also sent a number of instruments,
special models, to points in South America.
Every part of the instruments is actually
made within the factory, and the company even
goes so far as to arrange and cut all the music
rolls for their instruments, including the cut-
ting of special rolls when desired. In connec-
tion with their music rolls it might lie stated

that the Moving Picture Orchestras are so con-
structed that one roll is playing while the other
is being rewound.
The manner in which the "Ideal Moving Pic-
ture Orchestras" stand up under actual usage
is indicated by a letter recently written to a
prospective purchaser of one of the instruments
by E. J. Edenfield, manager of the Dreamland
Theatre, Augusta, Ga., in which he says: "Their
'Ideal Moving Picture Orchestra' is simple,
accessible and easy to keep up, as we do all
our own work on ours, such as tuning and ad-
justing and repairing for the six months it has
been running here, playing twelve and one-half
hours for six days in the week. We press the
button at 10:30 a. m., and forget about it until
11 p. m., when we shut off the current and quit
for the night. The music is the most perfect
and wonderful we have ever heard and this not
only is the opinion of the management, but is
that of the expert and educated musicians who
visit our place."
Among the features of the Ideal Moving Pic-
ture Orchestra is that the bellows and vacuum
system are incorporated in the machine, thereby
saving considerable space. A chain drive is
used wherever there is any rotating part, thereby
preventing slipping and insuring evenness of
action, and each individual instrument incor-
porated in the orchestra may be played indi-
vidually or in company with the others.
The Ideal Moving Picture Orchestra is pro-
duced in a number of styles, ranging in cost
from $1,000 to $4,500 and designed to meet a
wide variety of requirements.

THE "AMPHION ACTION" APPEARS
First Number of a New House Organ of the
Amphion Piano Player Co. Just Issued to
the Trade—Full of Interesting Matter
Volume 1, Number 1 of the "Amphion Ac-
tion," dated September, 1916, and issued by the
Amphion Piano Player Co., Syracuse, N. Y.,
has just been issued and offers to the trade
a thoroughly attractive little house organ that
in addition to extolling the merits of the Dyna-
chord and the Amphion action itself, presents
a considerable amount of snappy matter of
general character and general interest. "The
Amphion Action" is edited by Geo. E. Mans-
field, is well "made up" and printed and gives
sixteen pages of matter that is well worth read-
ing.
The September issue includes, among
other things, a talk on the Dynachord, some
good editorial matter, a few minutes with "Tad
the Traveler," short paragraphs from many
pens, some rules for success, some details about
the Amphion Accessible Action and a reproduc-
tion of Kipling's poem "If." The covers bears
a reproduction of the Amphion Mexican Girl,
which would lead one to believe that Mexico
is not such a bad place after all.
MEDALS FOR WURLITZER CO.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL., September S.—The medals
which were awarded to the Rudolph Wurlitzer
Co. by the Panama-Pacific International Expo-
sition were recently received by Manager G.
H. Leatherby, who forwarded them to the main
office of the concern. Among these awards
were the gold medals of honor of the Wurlitzer
Hope-Jones Unit Orchestra and the Wurlitzer
harp and cabinet, together with gold medals
for the Wurlitzer piano and the Wurlitzer Au-
tograph organ. The gold medal of honor is the
highest award granted, and the Wurlitzer Co.
is naturally proud of winning this distinction.
KAIPER BACK FROM PACIFIC TRIP
Places Wholesale Agency for Vocalstyle Rolls
With Pacific Music Roll Co.
CINCINNATI, O., September 5.—President and
Treasurer E. I. Kaiper, of the Vocalstyle Music
Co., who recently returned from a trip to the
Pacific. Coast, reports that conditions in the
West are in a most satisfactory condition, and
that the interest which he found existing among
dealers in Vocalstyle rolls was very strong.
While in San Francisco he placed a wholesale
agency with the Pacific Coast Music Co., the
deal being consummated through Manager
Goelzlin. He also predicts an exceptional fall
and winter season. On his trip he was accom-
panied by his wife and his daughter.
STANDARD CO. RAISES ROLL PRICES
The tremendous increase in the price of all
kinds of paper has long been a matter of com-
mon knowledge. It is, therefore, a matter well
understood when the Standard Music Roll Co.,
of Orange, N. J., announce, as they do at this
time, that on account of the great increase ir
the cost of materials they are compelled to
make slight increases in the net trade prices
of their Perfection rolls.
W. D. Adams, president of the Bergstrom
Music Co., of Honolulu, Hawaii, sailed for home
on the S. S. "Matsonia," on Wednesday of this
week. He had been in the United States for
the past few months during which time he vis-
ited all the principal cities and attended the more
prominent music conventions.
