Rolmonica
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, May 17.—A clever pub-
licity stunt for the Rolmonica was put over re-
cently by Dick Thompson, advertising manager
for the Daynes-Beebe Music Co., 61 South
Main street, this city. Mr. Thompson visited
the Playhouse Theatre during a rehearsal period
recently and passed around a few Rolmonicas
to the principals in the Metropolitan Players,
a popular local stock company. The actors
were overjoyed at playing these little instru-
ments and the management of the theatre ar-
ranged to have each player given a Rolmonica
as a gift.
The strains of late popular numbers are now
frequently heard from the dressing rooms of
the stars in this company and during the rest
periods in rehearsals the group often gets in an
informal ensemble concert, much to the amuse-
ment of the stage hands and electricians. The
W. S. Carr, for some time past manager of
the W. F. Frederick Piano Co. store in Mc-
Keesport, Pa., has taken over the business as
sole proprietor.
endorsement of the Rolmonica by the Metro-
politan Players for musical relaxation was given
several prominent notices in leading local
papers.
Hubert Tanner, music dealer of Plymouth,
Ind., has moved to new quarters at Centre and
Garro streets, that city.

Girl Orchestra Leaves on
Nation-Wide Concert Tour
Popular Organization Will Play at Leading
Vaudeville Theatres as Headline Act on
Keith Circuit—Conn Instruments Used
"The Bricktops," well-known girl orchestra,
consisting of fourteen auburn-haired young
women, left New York recently on a transcon-
tinental vaudeville tour to the Pacific Coast and
back to Broadway. This act, which is under
the management of Charles Green, well known
vaudeville impresario, is billed on the Keith
circuit as "America's Greatest Girl Band."
Recently the act concluded a successful New
York engagement, headlining at the leading
vaudeville houses, with a return engagement at
the famous Palace Theatre. The program pre-
sented by these girls embraces the highest
phase of musical composition as well as the
popular jazz and blues numbers. A complete
set of orchestra instruments is used by the girls,
enabling them to produce the most pleasing
musical effects. Conn instruments are used ex-
clusively, as are Leedy drums and other equip-
ment, and Gibson banjo and guitar. The dis-
play of these instruments on the stage is a
most elaborate setting, and many who have
heard the act, declare it is x>ne of the best pres-
entations of musical instruments they have ever
witnessed.
In a recent feature article in The Review,
written around this popular vaudeville organ-
ization, announcement was made to the effect
that any music dealers desiring a large sized
photograph of the orchestra could have same
without any charge by addressing a card to the
editor of this publication. A great many re-
quests have been received already from all over
the country. Those dealers who did not write
in for pictures, but would like to have a print,
can still obtain one through this publication.
The photograph is of suitable size to permit an
attractive window display. It has been sug-
gested that wherever this band plays, local deal-
ers will find it to their advantage to tie up with
the appearance.

The Dealers' Line
Y
ORK is called the dealers' line of Band Instru-
ments because of the principles upon which the
policies of the House of York are based.
We know that we cannot profit unless our dealers do,
and in all our advertising and sales literature, this
fact is kept in mind. Direct factory competition is a
thing unknown to the dealer who stocks and pushes the
York Line. And the quality of York Instruments,
maintained through nearly half a century of manu-
facturing, is a credit to any store.
Wanted—Dealers in
Territory Now Open
'"INHERE are still some choice territories open, and if we
are not adequately represented in your city, we solicit
your inquiry. If you are the kind of a dealer who regards
consumer satisfaction as a factor equal in importance to
immediate profit, you are the sort we want—and we have
an interesting proposition to make you.
