November List of Fox-Trots, Waltzes, Blues and
Ballads Proves Attractive to Dealers.
The November releases on the word rolls of the
Capitol Roll & Record Co., 721 North Kedzie avenue,
Chicago, are creating a lively interest for playerpiano
owners that is resulting in numerous sales. It justi-
fies the faith of the company in the salesmaking char-
acter of a well selected list of fox-trots, blues, waltzes
and ballads and makes good on the claim that the
Capitol Word Rolls are "the background of a busy
roll department."
The Capitol rolls are recorded with the snap that
makes a buyer of one of the rolls come back for
more. They effect that desirable condition in the
clientele—permanency. In the new rolls extra cho-
ruses are found and a greater length distinguishes the
new presentations. The rolls are hand played w T ith
the words clearly printed. The price is alluring and
the quality the best that the best materials can make
them.

RECORDING ARTIST WOUNDED
Art Gillham, "The Whispering Pianist" of Radio
Phonograph Record Fame, Shoots Himself.
Art Gillham, "The Whispering Pianist," of radio
fame and exclusive Columbia recording artist, acci-
dentally shot himself through the left thigh while
driving to the target range in Atlanta, Georgia, on
November 1. His condition is not serious.
Lambkin Kay, announcer of WSB, Atlanta, where
"The Whispering Pianist" was appearing at the time
he met with the accident, is responsible for Gillham's
broadcasting fame. The title is an accurate descrip-
tion of Gillham's method inasmuch as he actually
whispers into the microphone and it is almost impos-
sible for persons in the same room to hear him when
he works. His voice, however, carries perfectly thou-
sands of miles in every direction. The tour will be
continued as soon as he is able to move around again.
