NEW MUSIC SHOPJN INDIANAPOLIS
Exclusive Sheet Music Store Opened in That
City by Miss LaRue E. Black
INDIANAPOLIS, TND., January 9.—The Music Shop
at 5 North Meridian street is the newest store
to open its doors in downtown Indianapolis. The
proprietor is Miss LaRue E. Black, who for the
MUSIC
TRADE
balcony. The walls are paneled with brown ma-
hogany set against a plain ivory background.
Half-sheet signs on the walls advertising the
new music may be seen from the sidewalk
through a spacious plate-glass window that com-
prises most of the front of the shop. Particu-
larly effective are twelve such signs along the
front of the balcony.
Miss Black is specializing not only in the best
popular selections, but also in the best-selling
classics and in operatic numbers. The shop has
a piano, but the playing is to be confined to just
such as would be acceptable in the best of homes,
Miss Black says. No player rolls or phono-
graphic records are to be sold, and the store is
the only one in the city devoted exclusively to
the sale of sheet music.
Miss Black has been in the music business
nearly twenty years, most of the time represent-
ing the Jerome H. Remick Co. Before coming
to Indianapolis she was employed in Buffalo,
Pittsburgh, Detroit, Milwaukee and St. Louis.
KREISLER TO MAKE TOUR
Famous Violinist Adds Old Irish Song to His
Concert Programs
Miss LaRue E. Black
last ten years has had charge of the music de-
partment of L. S. Ayres & Co. for the Jerome
H. Remick Co. The new store is devoted ex-
clusively to sheet music.
Miss Black has chosen a location that is in
the heart of the business district. The room
measures 20x30 feet, but the floor space has been
increased 50" per cent by the construction of a
Fritz Kreisler will play on his coming concert
tour for the first time here the music to "Lon-
donderry Air," a song he first heard sung a few
weeks ago by a poor street singer in Glasgow,
outside the hall where Kreisler gave a concert.
"It is just an old Irish song," the singer said
when the violinist sent to find out what the
music was he heard. Kreisler played it for
Lloyd George in his Downing street residence,
and it is said the Prime Minister was moved to
tears.
Part of Kreisler's earnings will go to the sup-
port of five hospitals and an orphan asylum in
Austria, which he and his American-born wife
practically maintain.

Makes Plea for Wider Interest in Music Before

BOSTON, MASS., January 9.—Mrs. Marx E.
Oberndorfer, of Chicago, national music chair-
man of the General Federation, has been in
Boston addressing the Massachusetts State
Federation of Women's Clubs on the topic with
which she now is so widely identified and
which has been exploited in the music maga-
zines. In appealing for a love for the better
sort of music Mrs. Oberndorfer pointed out
that music is a force in life and not something
apart. She advised her hearers to familiarize
themselves with the music that is being used
everywhere, in the home, schools, clubs,
churches, theatres, etc., and she advocated a
plan for community co-operation in furthering
a knowledge of good music through the medium
of music memory contests, which she thought
should be undertaken by women's clubs every-
where.
