PLANS FOR CONVENTION OF TALKING MACHINE JOBBERS
Great Program Arranged for the Convention Which Will Be Held at the Hotel Ambassador, At-
lantic City, June 12, 13, 14—Many Notable Speakers to Be Heard at This Reunion
Plans have now been practically completed
for the Sixteenth Annual Convention of Talk-
ing Machine Jobbers, to be held at Atlantic
City, on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, June
12, 13 and 14, and followed, on June IS, by the
annual Association golf tournament.
The new Hotel Ambassador, one of the finest,
if not the finest, hostelries at the famous seaside
resort, has been selected as convention head-
quarters, and the management of the hotel has
arranged to take particularly good care of those
who attend the Association sessions.
Although as usual there will be numerous
entertainment features, the daylight hours will
be devoted strictly to business, for there are
many problems that demand the attention of the
jobbers, and none of them will be overlooked.
On Monday and Tuesday there will be busi-
ness sessions of the Association both morning
and afternoon, and matters to be discussed will
include questions of dealer financing, which is
Venetian Room of Hotel Ambassador
considered of particular importance just now;
means for advertising for the dealer by the job-
ber, plans for the co-operative buying of sup-
plies for Victor wholesalers, and other problems
of timely interest.
Among the speakers at the convention will be
Senator William M. Runyon, of New Jersey, and
Mark P. Campbell, president of the Brambach
Piano Co., New York, to impress upon the job-
bers the logic of selling music first rather than
musical instruments. There will also be other
important addresses, which will be announced
later.
Wednesday will be known as Victor Co. Daj,
when executives and department heads of the
Victor Talking Machine Co. will talk to the
jobbers on various phases of business. The sub-
jects that are likely to prove of most impor-
tance to the wholesalers are now being selected
and speakers will be announced later.
The entertainment program will open offi-
cially on Monday evening, when the jobbers will
be the guests of the Victor Co. at a dinner,
followed by a dance to be held at the Ambassa-
dor. During the course of the evening several
popular Victor artists will appear for the edifica-
tion of the guests
Paul Whiteman and his famous orchestra will
play for the dancing both at the Victor entertain-
ment on Monday evening and the annual associa-
tion banquet on Tuesday.
On Tuesday evening will be held the an-
nual banquet of the Association, and several
rate it is necessary for the members of the Asso-
ciation to make hotel reservations direct to the
hotel, with a duplicate copy of the reservation to
Fred P. Oliver, care Blackman Talking Machine
Co., 28-30 West Twenty-third street, New York.
The fact that the convention of the Music Indus-
tries Chamber of Commerce and allied music
trade associations will be held in New York dur-
ing the week preceding the convention of the
jobbers at Atlantic City will make it particu-
larly convenient for those who desire to attend
both meetings.

Busy Season and Sails for Europe
Hotel Ambassador, Convention Headquarters
speakers of prominence are being lined up for
that affair. There will be good entertainment
provided during the banquet which will be fol-
lowed by dancing.
On Wednesday evening at 5 o'clock the jobbers
will enjoy an old-fashioned clambake, held on
the shore, which, it is promised by the commit-
tee, will surpass even the wonderful beefsteak
dinner held at the woods at Glen Cove during the
course of last year's convention at Colorado
Springs.
The annual golf tournament of the Associa-
tion will be held at the popular Sea View Golf
Course, Absecon, N. J., near Atlantic City, on
Thursday, and there will be the usual collection
of valuable prizes to inspire the contestants to
put forth their best efforts.
The prospects are that there will be a record
attendance at the convention; firstly, because
the importance of the meeting from a business
standpoint warrants such an attendance, and, sec-
ondly, because of the many attractions of Atlan-
tic City itself. Those who travel to the shore
Frieda Hempel, exclusive Edison artist, cele-
brated Mother's Day by singing in Christ
Church, Brooklyn. A special service marked the
eighty-seventh anniversary of the church. Miss
Hempel sang an old English vesper hymn, "I
Know That My Redeemer Liveth," from the
"Messiah," and joined the surplice choir in the
"lnflammatus" from "Stabat Mater," and the reg-
ular hymns. Robert Gaylor, organist and musical
director of the church, played Miss Hempel's
wedding march four years ago. He is also a
phonograph impresario of great renown, being
the Gatti-Cassaza of Thomas A. Edison, Inc.
Frieda Hempel closed her season of more than
seventy appearances at the Ann Arbor May Fes-
tival, as soloist with the Chicago Symphony Or-
chestra, on May 19. She sailed on the "Aqui-
tania" on Tuesday, May 23, for a five months'
trip abroad.
The prima donna will sing in Albert Hall, Lon-
don, on June 11. Later she goes to Copenhagen,
where her debut last year caused such a furore,
for a number of concerts. Later she will go up
in the Engadine, near St. Moritz, her favorite
mountain resort, to follow the trails for a month.
In September she will appear in "The Rosen-
kavalier" at the Royal Opera, Budapest. The
King of Sweden has invited Miss Hempel to sing
in Stockholm on October 6, the 102nd birth-
day of Jenny Lind.
