ENGLISH MUSIC BOOM
BOOSTS EMPLOYMENT
Choral Societies Revived Since War
Give Jobs to Many in
Britain.
Ry the Associated Press

By the Associated Press
LONDON, December 16.-There is
a music boom on in England at the
present time and the musicians and
the music industry are enjoying n
period of great prosperity. notwith-
standing the general trade depres-
sion. The reason for this is the great
interest in musical entertainments
for the public and the popularity of
dancing.
Musicians have suffered little from
unemployment during the dark days
in other trades and businesses. Out
of the 5000 musicians who specialize
in theater. music hall and cinema or
chestras there are barely 100 without
work.
The fact that there is dancing prac-
tically everywhere creates keen de-
mand for instrumentaliSts, many of
whom earn more than two guineas
nightly.
Choral societies have been revived
since the war and this year many
new ones have been started through
out the country. creating an increas-
ed demand for solo vocaNsts, orches-
tras and sheet music. The piano.
building trade also has experienced a
boom. Most of the factories have
been working overtime, for months.
This is due partly to the increased
call for pianos at home and abroad
and the fact that trade in German
made instruments has virtually been
killed.
