The popularity of the 65-note electric piano rolls
of the Columbia Music Roll Co., 22 South Peoria
street, Chicago, is the natural result of an effective
cause. Columbia Service is more than a phrase. It
is the practical expression of a policy that dealers
and electric player roll buyers in large numbers un-
derstand and appreciate.
The management of a player music roll industry
implies the possession of particular abilities. In
making rolls for the buying public month after month,
the possible preferences in songs and dances must be
1
anticipated. To gauge the likes of the buyers a
month hence requires judgment of musical values as
well as a knowledge of human nature.
The favor for particular tunes comparatively popu-
inr today may be without power to charm the nickels
into the slot in four or five weeks' time. Novelty in
a song, pleasing one week, may be without the power
to please the next week. The event providing the

SHOWS USES OF UKULELE.
Dan Nolan, community song leader, concert pianist
and organist demonstrated various makes of ukuleles
last Saturday afternoon at Sedgwick & Casey's
music store, corner Asylum and Trumbull streets,
Hartford, Conn. Mr. Nolan has taught and demon-
strated the ukulele in the South Seas Islands and all
over the United States. He demonstrates that it is
possible to render with the ukulele tunefully such fa-
mous selections as "Miserere" from "II Trovatore,"
Shuhert's "Serenade," and the "Sextette" from
"Lucia."
STRINGS MUCH IN DEMAND.
The demand for supplies still continues strong
from piano manufacturers, and in particular the
Schaff Piano String Company, Chicago, reports a
good business in supplying bass strings for more
pianos. The difficulty is not now in lack of orders
but in capability to fill all orders, the string manu-
facturing company reported this week.
