Waters & Ross Open New "Uncle Jack" Plays the
Sheet Music Department
Rolmonica Over Radio
SAN
FRANCISCO, CAL.—Waters & Ross, of San
Francisco, have recently made a number of
changes in their store, in order to install a
large department for sheet music.
All the
phonograph booths have been removed and the
space devoted to the firm's latest activity,
which is in charge of K. Fuhrman, one of the
best-known merchants of printed music in San
Francisco. Speaking for The Music Trade Re-
view, Mr. Fuhrman said that they will carry
a little popular music, a wide selection of band
and orchestra music, and will also specialize on
educational music and music for school bands
and orchestras, in addition to educational music
for piano and vocal students.
"Uncle Jack," of WCAO Safety Club, Balti-
more, Md., has endeared himself to the chil-
dren of Baltimore by the program which he
puts on daily and in which he has made the
Rolmonica an important feature. "Uncle Jack"
gives complete and readily understood instruc-
tion for the proper playing of the harmonica.
Illustrations help to make the text more com-
prehensive. The other publication is a har-
monica transposing chart, which makes possi-
ble harmonica arrangements for musical se-
lections written in eleven different keys. Both
publications are modestly priced, and are al-
ready available for distribution to jobbers and
dealers.

is none other than Don Hicks, who was born in
a small town near Columbus, O., and showed
a marked liking for the stage at an early age,
at that time joining a vaudeville troupe playing
in Chicago. He has been a newspaper car-
toonist, in motion pictures, a publicity manager,
and played one year in stock with Charlie
Chaplin. After serving with the California
Coast Artillery throughout the war, he became
interested in radio announcing, and one of his
first programs from WCAO was the "Movie
Answer Man."
His creation of the Safety Club in Baltimore
won a quick response from the children in that
city, to whom he is known as "Uncle Jack."
The accompanying illustration shows him play-
ing the Rolmonica during one of his programs.
New Ensemble for Radio
A new name entrant in the radio field
shortly will be the Grofe-Wiedoeft Ensemble,
consisting of Ferde Grofe, musical arranger and
composer; Rudy Wiedoeft, saxophone virtuoso,
and H. Emerson Yorke, former Eastern casting
director for Paramount pictures.
With an orchestra of thirty-one picked mu-
sicians under the Grofe baton, this ensemble
gave an impressive radio audition recently, both
in New York City and Chicago, for a repre-
sentative group of national advertisers.
Ashley Music Supply Co.
Organized in New York
Abe Schlager, for the past fifteen years ac-
tively identified with the wholesale sheet music
industry, the last eight years of which were
spent with the Richmond-Mayer Music Corp.,
as service manager, has formed the Ashley
Music Supply Co., with headquarters in the
Gaiety Theatre Building, 1547 Broadway, New
York. The Ashley company will distribute
everything in music. Associated with Mr.
Schlager, as sales manager, is Phil Moore, who
also has had long experience in the trade.
