THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
EDISON ELECTED TO ROTARY CLUB
NEBRASKA VICTOR ASS'N TO MEET
Organization in Orange, N. J., Makes Inventor
Honorary Member at Monthly Dinner
Will Hold Convention in Omaha on August 4—
Program of Interest and Value Arranged
Honorary membership in the Rotary Club of
the Oranges was accepted by William H.
Meadowcroft on behalf of Thomas A. Edison
at the monthly dinner of that organization held
in West Orange, N. J. Mr. Edison commended
the work of the club in the following letter,
which was read by the secretary:
"Your invitation to me to accept honorary
membership in the Rotary Club of the Oranges
is greatly appreciated and it gives me much
pleasure to express my acceptance.
"I must ask you, however, to excuse me from
attending the meeting on June 3. My hearing
has grown so poor and my time is so taken up
with a vast array of work that I have given up
the idea of attending any social functions.
"I appreciate the good features of the Ro-
tarian idea and the club has my most cordial
good wishes."
Mr. Edison continues to devote as much of
his time at work as anyone at his vast labora-
tories in Orange and still sets the pace for his
associates.
The fourth annual convention of the Nebraska
Dealers' Association will be held on August
4, at the Hotel Rome, Omaha, Neb. An inter-
esting program has been planned, starting at 9
o'clock in the morning and continuing through
the afternoon, winding up with a banquet and
dance tendered by Mickel Bros. Co. and Ross
P. Curtice Co. to the visiting dealers and asso-
ciates. Aside from the entertainment feature,
it is planned to make this meeting a very prac-
tical one, so that dealers who attend will be
benefited in gaining many new merchandising
ideas and co-operative systems which will de-
velop better business for all.
There will be talks by a number of the lead-
ing members of the trade, including a represent-
ative of the Victor Talking Machine Co. There
will also be practical demonstrations of repair
work, talks of value to Victor dealers, educa-
tional instruction and numerous other features
of interest. In the evening, following the business
meeting, the ladies are invited to attend a dance
given by the Nebraska distributors after a
theatre party.
The slogan which has been adopted by the
officers of the Association is "Be There." It
is expected that all Nebraska dealers will be
present at this convention.
THREE INDICTED IN THEFT CASE
Grand Jury Moves Against Brooklyn Dealers
Charged With Stealing Machines in Camden
Aaron Frelich, a talking machine dealer of
59 Graham avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y., was in-
dicted last week by the Grand Jury in that city
for criminally receiving stolen property in con-
nection with the theft of $15,000 worth of talk-
ing machines from a firm in Camden about a
month ago. Frelich is charged with having
seven of the forty-three stolen machines in his
store. With him were indicted Louis Abrams
of 1175 Broadway, from whom Frelich is al-
leged to have purchased the talking machines,
and Benjamin Ginsberg of 543 Myrtle avenue.
District Attorney Lewis asked that each be
held in $5,000 bail for trial. This amount was
fixed for Abrams and Ginsberg, while Frelich
was held in $3,500 bail.
RED ROOSTER DANCE IN BUFFALO
Dance and Entertainment of Pathe Club in That
City a Distinct Success
BUFFALO, N. Y., June 22.—The Red Rooster
Dance given recently by the Pathe Club, of this
city, was a decided success. The dance was
arranged by Earl B. Dryden, manager of the
Pathe division of the Buffalo Wholesale Hard-
ware Co., Pathe distributors of this city. Music
was rendered by Webb's Novelty Entertainers,
who are well known in the homes of this coun-
try where Pathe records are favorites. The
dance in itself was a notable social event, but
the great success of the evening was a demon-
stration by l^iis orchestra as to how they re-
corded one of their famous records. It was
said by those present that their stunts and antics
exceeded the jazziest jazz band appearing on any
stage. Mr. Dryden impersonated Russell Hunt-
ington, chief recorder of the Pathe laboratory,
putting- the orchestra through some very swift
work in order to produce the most favorable
jazz results.
