TELLING KANSAS CITY
ABOUT THE PLAYER ROLLS
Persistent Advertising of the J. W. Jenkins Sons'
Music Co. Takes Many Forms.
The "Story Roll" is the movie in music, accord-
ing to the clever advertising of the J. W. Jenkins
Sons' Music Co., Kansas City, Mo. The manager
of the advertising department in the progressive
Kansas City house is a firm believer in the potency of
the music roll for creating and keeping warm the
desire for the player piano. The music page of the
Kansas City Journal is well edited and widely read
and this is the vehicle for frequent suggestive items
like the following printed last week:
"On the music market for some time there has
been the vocal piano player roll, the words of the
songs written along the margin of the selection as
it unrolls and is played. The Q. R. S. firm is now
supplying the J. W. Jenkins Sons' Music Co. with
a comprehensive line of story rolls.
These innovations are a musical education in
themselves. The operator of the player reads what
he is playing as he plays it. As the Q. R. S. booklet
says: "All great music has a story to tell. Back
of the harmony lies the tale—a tale told in music,
not words. The person who has a musical education
can read the hidden meaning, the story of the music,
and really understand it. And with this understand-
ing of music comes the added pleasure that is born
of getting out of the composition all the enjoyment
it holds. The new roll is a 'movie in music' The
operatic rolls are of special interest, each dramatic
incident considered as the music written to the dia-
logue of the aria sounds in your ears."

DEALERS SAVE THEATER.
The men of the music trade in Baltimore, Md.,
are to be congratulated on their big job of saving the
Lyric Theater for music purposes. When it was
learned that the theater might change hands and the
fine hall be diverted to trade purposes the Lyric Co.
was formed. Music dealers and music lovers out-
side of the trade pledged to subscribe $250,000 be-
fore March 31. They succeeded in their purpose
and saved the theater for its old purposes—impor-
tant musical events.
SUES SCHAFF BROS. CO.
F. Clark Adsit. formerly manager for the Schaff
Brothers Co., Huntington, Ind., factory, has filed
suit against Julius Martin, secretary, and Jacob
Dick, president of the company, asking that he be
permitted to inspect the books. He says he owns
five shares of stock and wishes to know the con-
dition of the company to see what it is worth, as
well as to determine the validity of certain state-
ments made in a tax return of the company concern-
ing the assets.
