New Schiller Construction
Makes Excellent Impression
The new type of improved suspended piano
construction recently adopted by the Schiller
Piano Co. and which was demonstrated for the
benefit of visiting dealers at the convention in
New York last week has evidently made a
strong impression on the retailers judging from
comments made while the new models were
being inspected. The improved tonal quality
secured by the new method made a particularly
strong impression.

Organ Player Rolls
Increase in Popularity
Clark Orchestra Roll Co. Analyzes Growing
Demand for this Type of Automatic Music
Roll
The Clark Orchestra Roll Co., in tin: latest
issue of its house organ, the Coin Slot, empha-
sizes the increasing demand of the organ roll
and the possibilities of the organ roll field in
which the trade shows a growing interest. It
says: "The reason for the phenomenal growth
of the organ roll business is perhaps due, in
most part, to the popularity which the organ
has achieved in the moving picture theatre. Re-
markable as has been 'the rise of the theatre
in the past few years to a position as the most
important of all our amusements, the changing
conditions in the field of musical instruments,
and, in particular, the change in their relative
importance, have been scarcely less so. The
organ has assumed a place in our musical life
perhaps second to no other instrument. Its
flexibility has increased to such an extent that
it is capable of expressing all the kaleidoscopic
moods of life. It is capable not only of solem-
nity and pathos, but also of frivolity and light-
hearted abandon.
"The roll for the theatre is made up in a
variety of forms to meet the requirements of
varying moods and scenes to which it must
lend suitable background. In general, the music
in each roll is confined to one certain style or
class, but this is not always true. For instance
there is a type of organ roll on the market
which combines music or contrasting moods in
