^— * Starr grand pianos were the attraction at a
reception presided over by R. E. Taylor and
Miss Renie Burdett at the rooms of the Starr
Piano Co., when the art gallery just completed
was thrown open for a private showing to mem-
bers of the various art societies and socially
prominent people, May 26.
The work of getting the gallery into shape
has been under way for the past three months
and the entire fourth floor of the Huron Road
Building of the company is devoted to it. The
depth of the room adds to its charm as do
the harmonious furnishings. A fine display of
the different models of Starr grands occupies
the center of the room and both walls are de-
voted to the display of paintings, a large num-
ber being hung.
The gallery is unique in that nothing is shown
except the work of Cleveland artists. Members
of five art societies attended the opening and
a number of people prominent in local musical
circles as well. The gallery and its contents
were much admired. A musical program was a
feature of the evening, in which well-known
local artists took part.
All downtown Cleveland was made acquainted
with the fact that the Wurlitzer Co. was in-
stalling a mammoth pipe organ in Keith's Palace
Theatre on Wednesday, May 26. The announce-
ment was made through a parade of ten large
trucks bearing boxes in which the instrument
was packed, and headed by a brass band. Thou-
sands of handbills were given out along the line
of march. Riding on the first truck were Dan

Nolan, general manager of the local Wurlitzer
branch, and John Royal, manager of the theatre.
The new organ is said to have more pipes than
any other organ in the United States, as the
theatre management, after studying theatre
organ requirements, eliminated extremely long
pipes in favor of a greater number of smaller
ones to provide better tone quality and smaller
volume.
H. E. McMillan, an official of the Union Trust
Co., has purchased an autographed Hardman
grand that was used by Gigli during the Spring
Festival of the Metropolitan Opera Co. It was
sold by the George Ott Piano Co., local Hard-
man agent.
Matt Kennedy, from Chicago, was a caller on
the trade this week. Fred Martin, representing
the Milton Piano Co., was a visitor to Muehl-
hauser Bros. Co.
Milton R. Slocuni has moved to 211 High ave-

department and showroom will now be in the
same building.
A resolution to authorize City Manager Hop-
kins to contract with the American Society of
Composers, Authors and Publishers for a blanket
coypright arrangement on all music broadcast
from Public Hall is to come up for considera-
tion of the City Council. The bill calls for an
annual charge of $600.
