It is not every boys' camp that is so fortunate as
to hear so great a pianist as Godowsky in person, but
the boys at Camp Wigwam at Harrison, Me, will
long remember the visit of the great artist whose
playing they were already familiar with through his
Ampico recordings.
The picture shows the delighted youngsters hearing
Godowsky in person and afterward through the
Ampico, which is their constant musical companion
at the camp. Mr. Mandelstam, who owns the Camp,
writes as follows to Wm. Knabe & Co., who supplied
the Ampico:
''The camp in the past has been extremely fortunate
in having great artists visit and play for the boys,
but it was always with a feeling of hesitancy that
these men were approached and asked to play*.
Your Ampico worked incessantly and at the very
lime when the moods of the boys made the music
most receptive. We bad small groups of boys given
periods in musical appreciation, values that without
the aid of the Ampico would have been entirely lost.
In years to come I hope to write you again to tell
you what the actual result of the boys affected has
been."
