No seekers for a better, fairer

process OF mixing u BEhiOhOla
record.
Today and for several days
musical history Is being made in
this city. Through the earnest
endeavors of the management of
the Globe Furniture Company, a
complete recording laboratory
from the Columbia Graphophone
Company, OF New York, has been
installed, at a great cost, in the
annex OF the Globe Building.
For several days this laboratory
will be engaged in making matri-
ces for records of the Naval Acad-
envy Band. Things close TO home
are seldom appraised at their pro-
per worth. So accustomed have
Annapolitans become to this
splendid band, that they seldom
give Il a second thought. II might
prove of interest to most of US to
know that this organization under
the presiding genius OF its present
leader, Lieut.. Adolph Torovsky,
has become the largest military
or naval bands In the country
and the best. according to critics.
Restrictions We're A Bar
All of the large phonograph
companies maintain extensive re-
eording laboratories in or near
New York. Here all the great
artists and bands record their
masterpieces for the delight and
edihcation Of present and future
generations. Due TO the great
number of men and the govern
mental restrictions imposed upon
the Naval Academy band. il has
heretofore been found impractical
for the band to go in a body TO
these recording plants for the
purpose OF perpetuating their art.
Music lovers have thus been de-
MED the privilege of hearing this
great band on their monographs.

protracted negotiations the graph

this city-and indeed of most
cities-that records have been
made in 1t. The recording will be

Does Not Look A Hero
Mr.. Johnson does not look the part

has won his spurs by his ability as
an organizer, rather than his speech

oratory. He speaks with a twang that
is a cross between the provincialism
of England and the Western vernac-

Experts Look Field Over
Some weeks ago, Edward n.
Burns, yice-president Of the CO.
lumbia Graphophone Company
and an expert from the recording
department came 10 this city as
the guests of the Globe Furniture
Company management. While
here, they heard the Naval Acad-
envy Band and expressed delight
over its playing.
A careful inspection OF the
buildings within the Academy and
other public buildings revealed
the fact that none possessed the
correct acoustic properties neces-
sary for the purpose of recording.
Globe Annex Well Adapted
Some OF the auditoriums were
too high and gave too much echo,
others too low and therefore
equally unsuitable. Right here it
might be stated that one of the
main reasons for the maintenance
of permanent laboratories is the
difficulty of finding suitable audi
forums in various places. The
Globe Annex was. however, found
admirably suited for the purpose.
The management of the Globe
Furniture Company promptly ac-
ceeded to the request of the Co
lumbia officials and agreed to
make the necessary changes.
Due TO the fact that absolute
silence must be maintained, as the
slightest cough or whisper will be
recorded by the sensitive instru-
ments. and the secrecy of the re-
cording process employed, the
place occupied by the temporary
laboratory will be closed to the
public during the hours OF the
recording.
