DISAPPOINT RADIO FANS.
Radio fans waited vainly in their homes on
Wednesday night waiting for the opera of "La
Boheme" to be wafted to them by wireless from the
stage of the Auditorium Theater, Chicago, via the
KYW broadcasting station. An announcement was
made that the scheduled opera by radio had been sud-
denly canceled through an unexpected move on the
part of the American representatives of Riccordi &
Co., holders of the copyright of the "La Boheme"
score. The music publishers had claimed that broad-
casting was a violation of the copyright, KYW offi-
cials said. A report that other broadcasting stations
had made strenuous objection to an air monopoly of
several hours each evening was denied. However, it
was said by Walter Evans, operator at the KYW
station, that opera would only be broadcasted two or
at the most three times a week during the remainder
of the Auditorium season.
PATHE PHONOGRAPH & RADIO CO.
The Pathe Freres Phonograph Co. has been reor-
ganized and renamed the Pathe Phonograph & Radio
Co. At the hearing before Federal Judge Edwin L.
Garvin, in New York, last week, the approval by the
judge of two reports of the Special Master made the
reorganization possible. One concerned the sale of
six parcels of real estate and the other concerned the
bid of the reorganization committee for the assets of
the Pathe Freres Phonograph Co. The real estate
was purchased by the new company. At the hearing
U. S. Attorney Howard Osterhout filed a release on
the part of the Government of $147,000 in back taxes
penalties.
DRUMS IN SAN FRANCISCO.
Henry Grobe, 135 Kearney street, San Francisco, is
a musical merchandise dealer who takes a particular
pride in the musical merchandise manufactured in
this country. Among the native products which par-
ticularly evoke his approbation are the drums and
drummers' traps of Ludwig & Ludwig, 1611 North
Lincoln street, Chicago. "The actual merits of the
Ludwig drums are the determining factors that in-
fluence the choice of professional drummers," said
Mr. Grobe last week.
THAT 0 . S. KELLY PHRASE
It Means That Every Movement in Springfield
Foundry Assures Perfection of Product.
The O. S. Kelly Co., Springfield, O., is a piano
supply house which has progressed with the growth
of the piano industry and the foundry has kept pace
with the piano business not only in the enlargement
of its facilities, but in the increase of efficiency as
well.
The phrase "guaranteed satisfaction" used on its
stationery and advertising literature conveys a well-
known trade fact in words. Every piano factory
superintendent knows the significance of the widely-
advertised phrase. What is guaranteed by the O. S.
Kelly Co. is a properly made piano plate paramount'
in the production of a dependable piano.
Veteran piano manufacturers associate the element
of satisfaction with Kelly plates. Piano factory su-
perintendents of long or short duration in the indus-
try know that the Kelly plate is a foremost essential
in affecting that most desirable quality in a piano—
durability. The Kelly plate is the scientific start for
the artistic achievement of the piano maker.
NEW CUTTING EQUIPMENT.
Hammacher, Schlemmcr & Co., New York, the
well-known supply house, which keenly anticipates
the requirements of the piano and playerpiano manu-
facturer, is now specially featuring a useful tool for
the industry. It is the Imperial Welding and Cut-
ting Equipment. The processes are by the oxy-
acetylene way and are as simple in use as they are
effective in results. The company, which is whole-
sale distributor for the equipment, has issued a folder
printed in two colors, which describes and illustrates
the outfit.

adelphia, Arkansas, was among the out-of-town visi-
tors in the Chicago manufacturing offices this week.
