The Phil-Har-Chee Possesses Points of Adaptabil-
ity Which Must Interest Trade.
SIMPLE MELODY MAKES
"SUNDAY"A BIO SUCCESS
A recent additon to the already long list of re-
markable instruments of the player-piano family is
the Phil-Har-Chee, an electric player of great pos-
sibilities—probably it were better to say probabili-
ties. The Phil-Har-Chee is an electric player at-
tachment, and its remarkable features include the
instantaneous rewinding and replacing of the rolls,
with the still more unusual fact that it gives per-
fect expression to the interpretations automatically
—without close control of the operator.
It is not necessary to have specially cut rolls for
the Phil-Har-Chee, any numbers, from any cata-
logue, serving the purpose perfectly. But perhaps
the feature of most general interest to the trade
is that the Phil-Har-Chee is easily adaptable to any
or all upright pianos, old or new. Many attempts
to supply such a player action have been made, but
very few of them have proved practical.
To a large proportion of the piano dealers it
will be interesting to know that Wm. N. Tyler,
formerly and for a long time active in trade paper
work, and also in managerial capacity for distin-
guished pianists, is associated with the Phil-Har-
Chee Piano Player Corporation. Mr. Tyler is a
practical expert as well as a skillful promoter, and
his affiliation with the new player attachment is
Record and Roll Makers Preparing to Feature
Charley Straight's Clever Composition.
You never can tell about a song—because nobody
knows what makes a hit—but all of the ingredients
of a sensational success evidently were embodied
in the tuneful "I Love You Sunday," by Charley
Straight, the wizard of the ivories.
Recording laboratories of phonograph record and
music roll manufacturers have been very busy pre-
paring this novel outburst of melody for presenta-
tion to a dance-mad public, and its tuneful refrain
will resound in the dance palaces and jazz empo-
riums of a dry and desolate nation for many moons
to come. Forster, the publisher, at 235 Wabash
avenue, Chicago, has received numerous offers for
the publishing rights of the song, but he has turned
a deaf ear to the sound of the festive ducats.
One record manufacturer stated that "of over
100 numbers submitted it was easily the best dance
selection—a delightful creation that promises to
sweep the country." "I Love You Sunday" is sim-
ple, singable and out of the ordinary and deserves
its success.

In Moving to Larger Quarters in Kokomo, Ind., the
Pearson Piano Co. Gains Greater Facilities.
The new headquarters of the Pearson Piano Com-
pany, in Kokomo, Ind., will probably be ready for
customers this week, as the transferring of stock
from the old location in the Citizens Bank building
on East Mulberry street to the new building which
has been constructed by Dr. W. H. Harrison on
North Main street, has been completed.
The new store is about twice the size of the for-
mer and has four individual booths, as nearly sound-
proof as possible, in which to demonstrate phono-
graph records. The new home will be very attrac-
tive, having complete new fixtures of old ivory and
mahogany. Shipments of pianos have been received
for the past few days on motor trucks.
TO MAKE TALKING BOOKS.
The output of the Southern States Phonograph
Co., which has begun the manufacture of phono-
graph records in Atlanta, Ga., will include the talk-
ing books for children now made by the Talking
Book Corp. The president of both companies named
is A. H. Carlisle. Other specialties in the record
line will be made. The Southern States Phonograph
Co. is remodeling a building recently purchased at
960 to 1004 Marietta street, Atlanta.
