W. H. McPhillips, of London, Ont., Here to
Launch New Theatrical Orchestra—Arranges
for Banjo Shipment
One of this week's visitors to the New York
office of William L. Lange, New York, manu-
facturer of Paramount, Orpheum and Langstile
banjos, was W. H. McPhillips, head of W. Mc-
Phillips, Ltd., the London, Ont., retail music
house. Mr. McPhillips is a distributor of both
Langstile and Orpheum banjos.
He made the trip to New York chiefly for
the purpose of launching one of the orchestras
which he organized on a new theatrical venture.
The orchestra in question was Willie Creager's
Orchestra, which opened an engagement at a
Loew Theatre in Brooklyn.
Mr. M.cPhillips seized the opportunity to visit
Mr. Lange and endeavor to arrange for steady
shipments of Langstile and Orpheum banjos
during the Fall and Winter months, for these
lines are growing steadily more popular
throughout Ontario. He reported that all
stringed instruments are doing very Well in his
territory.
