to dissolve the enmities of human

uses MUSIC WEEK
AS GOOD EXAMPLE
National Bureau . Makes New
York's Success Guide
For Others.

There has just been issued by the
National Bureau for the Advance
ment of Music of the Music Indus
tries Chamber of Commerce the
complete story of New York's first
Music Week. prepared by c. M. Ire
maine. director of the bureau, and
based upon an amazing array ,of
facts and figures; gathered by that
organization. The interest in the
Music Week idea is still alive in
many sections of the country re-
mote from Broadway, as Is indf-
Gated by the inquiries received by
the bureau regarding ways and
means for conducting such a cele-
bration on a smaller scale in vari-
gus localities. The recent success
of the Music Week in Little Rock,
Ark. proves most graphically the
possibilities of the Music Week idea
when applied locally, even in a COM
paratively small city.
In telling the story of New York's
Music Week, Mr.. Tremaine has con-
fined himself largely to presenting
facts regarding the wide variety of
Interests. that participated in max
ing the affair a success. Following
a koreword by Charles M. Schwab.
the author reviews briefly the
events that led up to the holding
of a Music Week In New York, and.
after telling something Of the scope
of music, proceeds to line up the
various factors that contributed to
making the celebration such a no.
table success.
First there is given the list of
that participated in the
Music Week program, together with
their location, the name Of the min
lister, and in just what form they
lent their aid. Next are listed the
houses which took part
in the celebration, an imposing list
taking in the leading Industrial con-
Germs in New, York and environs.

REVIEWS GROWTH
OF PLAYER PIANOS
Pioneer in Field States Inven-
ton Helps Develop Mu-
steal Appreciation. n

From the first cabinet or outside
piano player to the improved repro
ducing piano Of today seems a long.
time consuming jump, and yet
hardly two decades have passed
since the cabinet player was re-
garded both by the public and the
trade as simply a novelty or q toy
and Of little practical value.
One of the bett-known Of these
pioneers in the player field, so far
as the selling of both the idea and
the instrument Is concerned. Is
william J. Kelley, president of the
Auto Pneumatic Action Company.
who Is credited with selling the
first cabinet piano player in New
York, and who has been constantly
and actively Identified with the
player trade In both manufacturing
and sales departments for more
than a score of years.
In discussing with the Music
Trade Review the important part
the player-piano has played In the
development of the piano trade, Mr..
Kelley said in part:
in the early days We pioneers
were called upon not only to con-
vince members of the trade of the
commercial possibilities of the play
er-piano, but to convince musicians
of its musical possibilities, and
there are many musicians who were
strongly antagonistic to the player
piano at the outset who have since
come to have q deep appreciation of
its value.
The player must naturally be
credited with helping in the devel-
opment of the musical appreciation
of the people. and how this appre-
citation has progressed is well illus
trated In a statement made recently
by Walter Damrosch, director of the
New York Symphony Orchestra who
declared that fifteen years ago an
orchestra leader would not have
dared to put on three Beethoven
symphonies at one performance, and
could hardly hold his audience to
listen TO two movements of such a
symphony. On December 2, how
ever. at Carnegie Hall. the New
York Symphony Orchestra played
three complete Beethoven sym
phonies, in celebration of the 15oth
anniversary of the birth of the great
composer. and found its audience
not only willing to sit through the
performance, but distinctly appre-
ciative and enthusiastic.
Musical appreciation comes OF
understanding. and the player-piano
has done its full share in enabling
the average music lover to gain in
his, or her, own home this under
standing and knowledge of orches-
trail works deliberately arranged for
the player. and this musical educa-
ton has been carried on by the
player-piano, regardless of the num-
Der of jazz roles that have been
produced to meet the demands of a
certain set of people who enjoy that
class of music"
