* ^ Doren, the celebrated French reed maker,
has been visiting the United States and is mak-
ing his headquarters
at the Woodwind Co.,
New York where he is
the guest of Eugene
Bercioux, manager of
the Woodwind Co.,
and an old friend of
his father. The Van
Dorens are manufac-
turers of the famous
Van Doren line of
reeds for saxophone
and clarinet which
are handled by all
leading jobbers and
dealers.
Young Van Doren
has been calling on
the wholesale trade
and making the ac-
Eugene Van Doren
quaintance of many friends of his father as
well as gaining a knowledge of American musi-
cal merchandise business methods. He marveled
at the tremendous amount of business done in
this country in musical instruments and com-
plimented American dealers on their methods.
In introducing Mr. Van Doren to the trade
Mr. Bercioux stated to The Review: "The Van
Doren house produces more reeds than the
next six largest manufacturers together, ship-
ping two and a half-million reeds yearly to
America on orders received for about four mil-
lions. Mr. Van Doren is the owner of large
cane fields in southern France, his last pur-
chase costing him a million francs.
"Although Mr. Van
Doren has amassed
a fortune he still con-
tinues his improve-
ments to the reeds
that have been the
source of his wealth.
He has sent his son
to America to study
conditions and cus-
tomer likes and dis-
likes. Y o u n g Van
Doren is only twen-
ty-four, but he is a
prize winner of the
P a r i s Conservatory
for the clarinet, and
has been initiated by
his father in all the
Robert Van Doren
s e c r e t s of r e e d m a k .
ing. He has been amazing customers at the
Woodwind Co. by picking out reeds for them,
not by trying them, but simply by looking at
them and feeling them."

MANCHESTER, CONN., February
13.—Walter
Bradley and George J. Smith, two well-known
local musicians and teachers of the banjo and
saxophone, have opened a music store on Main
street. They will carry a full stock of musical
merchandise including Pan-American band in-
struments and Washburn, Weymann, Bacon and
Will Be Used Exclusively in Modern Jazz Con-
cert to Be Given in Symphony Hall, Boston,
Next Sunday, by That Organization
BOSTON, MASS., February 14.—Leo Reisman and
his exclusive Columbia recording orchestra
have gone Buescher. When this popular Bos-
ton combination appears at Symphony Hall,
next Sunday evening, February 19, for the first
of its series of concert engagements, it will be
equipped 100 per cent with Buescher True-tone
saxophones, trumpets and trombones. Reisman
is using an orchestra of forty-five musicians for
this concert.
His program will be illustrative of the de-
velopment of the jazz idiom by American and
European composers both in symphonic and
dance form, and will include several numbers
specially written for the event. Included among
the latter class is a work of outstanding in-
terest, "Clowns," by Charles Martin Loeffler,
one of America's best-known symphonic com-
posers. It is the first work of this noted musi-
cian to incorporate the jazz motif.
Ferdie Grofe is represented on the Reisman
program with his "Three Shades of Blue," and
"Mississippi Suite."
Rube Bloom, rolls and record artist, has been
signed as soloist, playing the piano part to his
"Soliloquy," and Johnny Dunn, negro hot
trumpet player is being brought from New
York for a blues specialty.
