CHICAGO, IIL., August 3.—Mason Slade, organist
and composer of Chicago who has won recog-
nition as one of the foremost exponents of
organ music in America, has joined the editorial
staff of the Pallma Publishers, 509 South Wabash
avenue, Chicago. Mr. Slade is organist of two
of the largest Episcopal churches of Chicago, St.
Peter's Church and Christ Church, and is also a
director of the American Guild of Organists.
In Paris he is not unknown as an organist, as
he has played the great organ in Notre Dame,
was organist of the Church of the Holy Trinity
for two years, and of the English church at
Neuilly for two seasons.
During the St. Louis Exposition, though
scarcely fifteen years old, he officiated there at
the great organ, at that time the largest instru-
ment of its kind in the world, and was the
youngest performer by ten years to be accorded
that honor. He was a favorite pupil of Guil-
mant, the great French organist. During the
World War he served as program supervisor in

Whiteman Gives Concert
at Central Park Mall
Orchestra Draws What Is Said to Be One of
Largest Gatherings Ever Attracted There
Mason Slade
edited by Mr. Slade, is "Chanson Bretonne."
This characteristic organ number, which is the
first of a group of selections that will shortly be
announced, is now on the press and will be
ready early this Fall.
Mr. Slade is particularly interested in the de-
velopment of motion picture organ music. En-
thusiastic over its possibilities on account of its
freedom, he is now working toward the com-
pilation of a literature for the theatre organ.
"Whatever may be the faults of the motion pic-
ture screen, the better theatres in America have
certainly been doing much toward educating the
public taste in favoring an appreciation of good
music," said Mr. Slade. "Largely through the
theatres I think the general public is beginning

Paul Whiteman and His Orchestra, who re-
cently returned from Europe, gave a concert on
the Mall, Central Park, New York, forty-eight
hours after their arrival. The concert, which
was given on the invitation of Mayor Walker
for the City of New York, through the courtesy
of Paul Whiteman, his booking agent, William
Morris, and the Victor Talking Machine Co.,
was broadcast through station WNYC.
The program was heard by one of the largest
gatherings that ever attended a Central Park
concert. Standing spaces were at a premium.
The program which was broadcast follows:
Mississippi Suite: "Father of the Waters,"
"Huckleberry Finn," "Old Creole Lullaby,"
"Mardi Gras." Group of compositions in the
Whiteman style: "St. Louis Blues," "Madonna,"
"Valencia," "Hymn to the Sun," "Tiger Rag."
"Nadine," a saxophone solo, played by Chester
Hazlett; "Dizzy Fingers," "Castles in the Air,"
"Meet the Boys," "Rhapsody in Blue." Four
minutes with two grand pianos. Soloists, Harry
Parella and Raymond Turner. Popular request
numbers. "America."
Under Whiteman's direction the orchestra re-
sponded with numerous encores, all of which,
of course, were of a popular nature.
New Sherman-Clay Offices
Sherman, Clay & Co. have moved their Eas-
tern offices to the heart of the theatrical district,
Suite 606, 745 Seventh avenue, New York. Ber-
nard Pollack, the Eastern representative for the
company, has arranged the new studios in a
very attractive manner.
