Annual Merchant's Banquet
June 9
The big official entertainment feature of the
week will be the annual banquet of the National
Association of Music Merchants, to be held
in the grand ballroom of the Hotel Stevens
on Thursday evening, June 9, thus providing
a fitting windup for the convention activities.
The arrangements for the banquet have been
in the hands of the Piano Club of Chicago and
there will be a number of elaborate entertain-
ment features. The official speaker of the
evening will be Capt. Norman Allan Imric, the
noted lecturer, traveler and humorist. Capt.
Imrie is an executive of the Culver Military
Academy. President Uhl, of the Merchants'
Association, will preside. Members of all the
divisional associations with their guests are in-
vited to attend this function.
Piano-Playing Tournament
Finals
June 8
In many respects one of the most interest-
ing and unusual events of the week will be
the holding of the finals of the Greater Chicago
Piano-Playing Tournament in the grand ball-
room of the Hotel Stevens on Wednesday
evening, June 8. The ballroom has a capacity
of 3,500 and the plans call for the enlargement
of its facilities to take care of a crowd of 5,000.
All those attending the conventions are invited
to attend these finals and the Piano Club of
Chicago has arranged to provide reserved seats
for the convention delegates. Close to 15,000
children in Chicago and environs enrolled in
the tournament and as a result of various
elimination contests held in the different dis-
tricts there will be thirty participants in the
final trials on June 8. The occasion will afford
many members of the trade .an unusual oppor-
tunity for seeing just how a piano-playing con-
test is worked out to its final solution.
Ampico Art Society
June 6
The annual meeting of the Ampico Art So-
ciety, made up of representatives of the Ampico
throughout the country, with Otto B. Heaton, of
