Sounding Brass

~ IMPOSITION OF orchestras to
suit individual tastes is the
newest phase of demand in
~ dance music. according to
Sidney Seidenman, head of
the Sidney Society Orchestra and di-
rector of the Sidney Mayfower Or
chestra.
"A number of hostesses this season
are selecting not only the particular
orchestra they wish but are modify
ing it's makeup to fit in with their
own preference in music. and also the
particular OCCASION said Mr.. Seiden-
man. Results secured by these or
chestral make.upS are often unusual
and pleasing. Several prominent So
ciety hostesses have eliminated drums
from the dance music orchestras they
selected. This idea has resulted in
tunefui dance music. Necessarily. OF
course, in this sort of makeup the
banjo work IN stressed more than
usual in order to supply the elements
OF beat, rhythm and impact. by fea-
turing the banjo, the drumless dance
orchestra can be made as 'pepfuP as
desired.
Another new development is the
growing popularity of the harp for
orchestras used for private entertain
ments. Even though there is grand
piano in the home, the hostess often
wishes a harp to be included in her
dinner music ensemble"
A growing tendency to use larger
orchestras is noticeable. Large or
chestras with subdued effects are be-
ing selected for many of the most inn
portant social events" said Mr.. Sci
denman. This Is a wise play, since
1t permits each musician TO do his
best work without the necessity of
straining for volume that tends to
obliterate the finer effects"

Old DUTCH MARKET SAFE
CRACKED FOR FOURTH Time
TAKEN
IN NIGHT

The Old Dutch Market, at
S11 Fourteenth st. N. W., has
a fourth ripped-open safe to
add to its collection in the
cellar of the building under the
st. Louis Hotel.
Cracksmen obtained 1928
from the small safe they had
removed from the front of the
store to the ice box, where
they could work at leisure, last
night. A meat cleaver was
used to rip open the bottom
and chop through a three-inch
layer of concrete.

Within the past year and q half
this same store has had four safes
similarly violated. Three of them
are lined up like row Of tin cans

bottom ripped open on three sides.
One glance was enough and the
police were notified.
Later when q closer examination
was made the cleaver was found on

The burglars had gained entrance
to the store through a trapdoor in
the rear storeroom which comes up
through the hotel cellar.
Entrance to the cellar. Milburn
explained, il gained either through
an unlocked trapdoor from the
yard, or by coming down q stair
