"Holtonian" Played at
Holton Weekly Concert
Composition by Herman Bellstedt and Dedi-
cated to Frank Holton Is Feature of the
Program
ELK HORN, Wis., July 14.—The regular weekly
band concert given by the Holton-Elkhorn
band attracted a large attendance to Elkhorn
Park Wednesday evening. These concerts are
under the management of the local Kiwanis
club and the band is composed entirely of
men who build the famous Holton band instru-
ments in the factory of Frank Holton & Co.,
H. J. Charlton, general manager of the Holton
firm, is the director and prime mover in the
band's activities. These weekly concerts, ac-
cording to Mr. Charlton, have always provided
him with much practical material that has as-
sisted him in the band organization work that
he carries on on a national scale as director of
Holton sales and policies.
Among the feature soloists on this week's
program was William Tong, cornet soloist
with Sousa and his band, and one of his num-
bers was "Holtonian," a cornet solo dedicated
to Frank Holton and written by Herman Bell-
stadt. It was played in public for the first time.
Ameng the other numbers were "Rosamunde,"
Slavonic Rhapsody, Sousa's suite, "At the
Movies" melodies from the "Fortune Teller,"
Victor Herbert, "Espana" and the march, "Ton-
gonian." The concert closed as usual with the
famous song of the state university, "On Wis-
Toledo Music League
Starts Free Courses
Toledo Children Invited to Study Music,
Dramatic Art and Dancing Without Charge
Through Local Organizations
Toledo children are given another oppor-
tunity to study music free. For the past year
the Melody Way Club has done splendid work
in starring children on a musical career and
now three highly successful studios have com-
bined to give free lessons this Summer in piano
playing, voice and expression.
It is said this is done to stimulate interest
in musical and dramatic education and to give
parents an opportunity to discover whether
their children possess talent for music, dramatic
art or dancing. The League for the Promotion
of Music Study, in co-operation with the Col-
lingwood Conservatory of Music, the Graham
School of Expression and the Joseph Sainton
Vocal Studios, is giving a term of eight private
lessons without charge. Any child or adult
who is not already taking lessons may take
advantage of this offer.
Lessons will be given in voice, piano, violin,
dramatic art and dancing. A small enrollment
fee to show seriousness of purpose will be re-
quired. All registrations were made at the
Sainton Studios a,nd were for one day only and
the enrollment exceeded expectations.
CLKVKLAND, O., July 17.—The H. C. Schultz Co.,
Inc., distributor for the Sonora line of phono-
graphs, together with a number of well-known
makes of small goods, is moving from its pres-
ent location, 1743 Chester avenue, to larger
quarters at East 17th street and Payne avenue,
where there will be available approximately
8,000 square feet of floor space and fine window
display facilities facing on two streets.
A feature of the new quarters is a model
display room handsomely fitted up with samples
of all the various lines carried by the company.
It is planned to have the dealers' opening next
week and a number of visitors from out-of-town
are expected.
