HOTEL ADVERTISES BY RADIO
Programs at Congress in Chicago Picked Up by
Station KYW Considered Good Publicity.
The Congress Hotel, Chicago, gets very valuable
advertising from the radio programs picked up there
and broadcasted by Westinghouse Station KYW.
And the guests brought there through the radio pub-
licity are naturally interested in the broadcasting
procedure.
In the "little red studio" on the top floor of the
Congress, known as Room 2066, is located the con-
trol booth which takes care of the studio programs
in that room as well as the five other rooms in the
Congress from which KYW takes its programs and
sends them out over the air. From this booth stretch
out a trio of wires for the sensitive microphone cir-
cuit to each of the rooms from which it is desired to
relay voice or music.
In the Pompeian Room, located on the main floor
of the Congress, a microphone is placed on an ele-
vated stand near the piano. It is from this room that
you hear the Coon-Sanders Original Nighthawk Or-
chestra every evening between 7:10 and 7:20 o'clock.
On the main floor you will also find the Louis
XVI Room, in which the radio audience will find
Joska De Barbary and his Continental stringed quar-
tet playing every evening for the benefit of thousands
of unseen listeners. A microphone circuit and a talk-
ing circuit similar to that in the Pompeian Room is
likewise installed in the Louis XVI Room. From
this room mainly are to be heard the classic numbers,
the first being at 7 every evening and the second at
7:20.
The third and most imposing room of all is the
new Balloon Room on the main floor of the Congress,
near the end of Peacock Alley. The microphone
hangs from the canopy which has been erected over
the'orchestra stand. Here the Coon-Sanders Night-
hawk Orchestra is to be found at its best.

Paper for music roll manufacturers is among the

mills.
Demands of Scandinavian users of hardwood lum-
ber have helped to increase prices of American hard-
wood lumber within the past few years. The Danish
market gained less in point of consumption than
Norway and Sweden during 1924. Swedish consump-
tion has gone up considerably, and American oak has
replaced German oak in the Swedish market. The
Norwegian market has also consumed appreciably
larger quantities than in 1923.
SECOND NATIONAL MUSIC WEEK.
At the invitation of its chairman. Otto H. Kahn, a
luncheon meeting of the National Music Week Com-
mittee was held at the Midday Club, 25 Broad street,
New York, on January 27. Representatives from
fourteen of the national organizations were present
and the reports and speeches aroused surprises at
what had been accomplished last year. Richard W.
Lawrence, president of the Music Industries Cham-
ber of Commerce, speaking for the trade, said that it
would stand behind the movement as it had done in
the past, but tht he hoped wider financial support
would be secured from the public.
