MUSIC WEEK RADIO OPENING.
National Music Week has made remarkable strides
in the four years since the movement was first caught
throughout the entire country. More than thirty-five
radio stations gave especial attention to music in
recognition of National Music Week. To mark the
Atwater Kent Hour as a special occasion, C. M.
Tremaine, director of the National Bureau for the
Advancement of Music, gave the radio audience a
greeting on behalf of the National Music Week
Committee, of which he is secretary. Mr. Tremaine's
brief talk told that last year Music Week was ob-
served in 1,398 cities and towns throughout the
United States. "Music, however, is international,"
he said, "and so Music Week has spread to several
other countries. Johannesburg, in South Africa, has
expanded the American idea to include a Music Fort-
night." The Music Week message was thus carried
by radio to several millions of persons.
OLD ORDER CHANGETH.
The old time expression of "stand by, please,"
when a radio station changed from local to remote
control or vice versa, is a thing of the past now and
seldom heard. New equipment and adept operators
have made this policy unnecessary. There are no
waits when the main station signs off and the remote
control panel, being switched, comes on.
PRICE OF PATRIOTISM.
Mayme (on crowded trolley-car)—Wotcha got in
that package, Sadie?
Sadie—One o' them portable radios.
Mayme—Chee! If yuh can tune in "The Star
Spangled Banner" mebbe we can git a seat.—Life.
Some changes have been made in the matter of the
proposed golf tournament which will be anounced
Winslow's Music Shoppe, Naugatuck, Conn., re-
later. However, Olympia Fields, where the golfers cently moved to 64 Church street.
will play, will be open to members of the convention
and a'good crowd is expected to take advantage of
the privileges offered at this course.
A COMPARATIVE DISPLAY
In the window of the Butler Music Co., Marion,
Ind.. Chickering dealers, may be seen this week a
large portrait of Jonas Chickering and below it a
photograph of the first Chickering piano which was
made one hundred and four years ago and is still
playing beautifully. In direct contrast to this, the
Butler Music Company has placed a new model
Chickering grand in the window, prettily draped with
a white Spanish shawl and red roses. Many people
were interested in seeing this instrument as the lat-
est development of America's oldest made piano.
A MILWAUKEE FESTIVAL.
School orchestras and bands in Milwaukee, Wis..
will be special features in the public school music fes-
tival to be held in the Milwaukee Auditorium May 13
and 14, at which it is estimated close to 4,000 school
children will participate. One number on the pro-
gram is an ensemble of twenty pianos; another is a
