BISMARK HEYER'S FINE
ADDRESS TO ROTARY CLUB
Dallas Dealer Spoke at Luncheon at Hotel Raleigh,
Waco, Last Week.
"When America first declared war, music was put
on the non-essential list, but before the conflict
closed music was second on the list of essential in-
dustries, and it is confidently believed that music
was an outstanding factor in securing victory," Bis-
mark Heyer, of Dallas, retiring president of the
Texas Music Dealers' Association, told members of
the Rotary club at a luncheon at Hotel Raleigh,
Waco, Tex., last week. The Rotary club held its
meeting during the days of the music men's con-
vention.
"Most of us forget what music means in our lives;
we forget that it is the universal language of the
soul, that it is the only thing we have on earth that
we are also promised in heaven," declared Mr.
Heyer in an eloquent tribute to the glory and beauty
of music. " I t is God's greatest gift to mankind—-
the lullaby ushers the little life into the world and
the doleful dirge is the last dreary comfort of old
age. Music helps us to forget the things we would
forget and to remember the things which we most
want to remember."
Organization as represented by the Rotary club
is essential to the "selling" of music to the world,
just as organization is necessary to secure the ideal
of service in any line, Mr. Heyer insisted.
An urgent invitation to the members of the club
and to the public generally was given by Mr. Heyer
to the lecture on Wednesday at 3:30 p. m. in the
Raleigh gold room by Madame Alma Webster
Powell, member of the Metropolitan Grand Opera.
T. W. Seguin of Chicago explained the progress
being made by the player-piano concerns to man-
ufacture records which will faithfully reproduce the
great musical artists of the world. Hope Allcorn,
Waco music dealer, was the toastmaster for the
luncheon.
A POPULAR SPANISH SONG.
Among the songs written for the Zarzuela the-
aters of Madrid there is one which has become ex-
tremely popular, and is sung in all the theaters and
music halls of the Spanish-American countries.
The song tells the story of a poor shepherd girl
who has been abandoned and wanders over the
face of the earth not knowing where she was born
nor who her parents were. She knows nothing
about herself except her nickname, which is "Flor
de Te," or "Tea Flower."
H. H. Bradley, manager of the Chicago office of
the Chase-Hackley Piano Company, Republic Build-
ing, has been on a trip to the northern peninsula of
Michigan during the last four or five days.
