Just Taken Over
MADISON, WIS., April 1.—One of the most com-
pletely equipped general music houses in the
city is that of the Ward-Brodt Company, of
which T. Lane Ward and Cecil D. Brodt are
owners, and which has just moved into its new
store at State street and the square. The con-
cern now occupies quarters that were formerly
the home of the Hook Bros. Piano Co. Floyd
Hook, who was previously connected with
Hook Bros., will continue with the Ward-
Brodt Music Co. as manager of its piano de-
partment.
In addition to a complete stock of pianos and
Brunswick Panatropes, radios and records, the
concern will continue to feature Holton band
instruments. The company has, in the past few
years, distributed Holton instruments to more
than a hundred bands located in Wisconsin and
adjoining States.
The Ward-Brodt Co. also has a well-equipped
musical instrument repair shop where it serves
patrons not only in Madison, but throughout
the State. Eddy Clark, who had been with
Hook Brothers for ten years before joining
Ward-Brodt about a year ago, is in charge of
violin and phonograph repair work, while the
repair of reed instruments is handled by Mr
Ivey.
With a complete line of pianos, Brunswicks,
radios, musical instruments, records and sheet
music, with an experienced personnel all activ in music circles and with the most prominent
musical store location in the city, the Ward-
Brodt Music Co. is anticipating a period of un-
usual activity and a substantial increase in busi-
ness volume.

cording to grade of schools and enrollments.
The winners will receive prizes donated by the
National Bureau for the Advancement of Music,
which is co-operating with the contest and

Milwaukee Biennial Festival Will
Feature Every Phase of Musical Art
A/IILWAUKEE, WIS., April 1.—Every
phase of music will be presented during
the fourth biennial music festival which the
Milwaukee public schools will present at the
Milwaukee Auditorium on Tuesday and Wed-
nesday, April 16 and 17.
The festival this year holds unusual interest
since the North Central Music Supervisors Con-
ference meets in Milwaukee during that week,
with music supervisors of piano class teaching,
band instruments, orchestras and choral instruc-
tion gathered together for the sessions, from
April 15 to 19.
Milwaukee music dealers are being offered
associate memberships in the music supervisors'
association this year, the membership fee being
two dollars, and permitting attendance at all
the convention sessions, and admission to all
performances at the music festival.
Music dealers point out that the supervisors'
meetings enable them to come into a profes-
sional and informal contact with the directors
of public school music, and the large number
of supervisors of music in Milwaukee schools
who will be in attendance at the meetings will
make them of particular interest to the music
merchants.
The program for the music festival presented
by children in the Milwaukee schools includes
a concert on Tuesday evening, April 16, featur-
ing the all-Milwaukee grade school orchestra
Lyon & Healy Harps Used
in Cincinnati Festival
Forty-Eight Instruments of That Make Used
in Concert Sponsored by National Associa-
tion of Harpists
The Ninth Annual Festival of the National
Association of Harpists, held in Cincinnati, O.,
recently, under the direction of Carlos Salzedo,
was one of the most successful events in re-
cent years, according to participants and music
critics.
Two prominent Chicago harpists, Clara
Thurston, instructress, and R. J. Keenley, man-
ager of the Lyon & Healy harp department,
played in the ensemble of fifty-eight harpists at
Music Hall under Salzedo, the concerts being
keenly received by appreciative audiences.
Carlos Salzedo, the director, is undoubtedly
one of the greatest living exponents of the harp
to-day. His artistry and virtuosity have never
been equaled by anyone in any period of his-
tory. This fact explains his numerous and suc-
cessful concert tours of both Europe and
America where he is accorded recognition ri-
valed by only the most eminent music masters
of to-day.
It is an interesting fact that Carlos Salzedo
himself uses a Lyon & Healy harp in all of his
concert work and in the ensemble under his
direction at Cincinnati forty-eight of the fifty-
seven harps used were of Lyon & Healy make.
Supervisors to Meet
The North Central Music Supervisors' Con-
ference will be held April 16 to 19 at the Hotel
Schroeder, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Supervisors
in ten of the central States will attend the con-
ference. The Music Education Exhibitors' As-
sociation, confined to manufacturers of musical
instruments and publishers of sheet music, will
have exhibits during the convention.
The Lon E. Alsup Music Co. has moved to
new quarters in Carthage, Tex.
The Silver Music Shop, Brooklyn, N. Y.,
has changed its name to the Chain Radio Corp.
of 200 instruments, and the seventh and eighth
grade festival chorus of 2,000 voices. This
should be an interesting feature.
The festival program for Wednesday includes
a matinee presentation of Otto Miessner's
"Dryad's Kisses," given by the children of the
sixth grades of Milwaukee, and employing 1,500
voices. In addition there will be a stringed in-
strument ensemble, and a wind instrument en-
semble.
The climactic performance will be on Wednes-
day evening, with the high school cantata, "Hia-
watha's Wedding Feast," and the all-city or-
chestra, and all-city band and a harp ensemble.
Herman F. Smith, supervisor of music in the
Milwaukee public schools, is directing the en-
semble.
