HIS anniversary is
sue Of "Delaware's
best weekly news
paper" has been an
inspiration to every
member of this newspaper
family. STEPPED in the weekly
traditions, the production of
this well-knOwn sheet, it has
been as much a hywOrd that
the show must go on" as it is
with the people to whom that
saying really belongs, namely,
the theater. 1t has been a
proud record that no issue has
been missed in these seventy
years, and one that, no doubt,
will be maintained in years to
come. Even this feeble effort,
in this corner, has been going
on for almost twenty years.
The time speeds away, some of
it we'll spent, some perhaps,
fFittered away. It is the whole
or the intent that counts, after
all, and by which much is
measured. Continually, the
qualification that comes from
subscribers has smOOthed the
way. Expressions are not al
ways on the lovely side, but
the humps have left a chal-
lenge for better effort to
please all. 1t is the earnest
hope of this writer that the
coming years, surely left to
those of a younger generation,
may be years Of good intention
to please the readers and to
carry on according to tradi-
tiOn.

with the stimulant furnished by rec
ordings. became more music-minded.
with a resultant incentive to see and
hear the live artist whom they had
listened to on recordings.
This tie-in was extraordinarily real
and resulted in the advancement, not
only of the economic and artistic lie
of the musician. but also in the in
dustrial and financial welfare Of the
photograph record manufacturer.
This relationship continued on this
level because no commercial usages
OF recordings had as yet been eH-
exclusively for home use, and were
so used. Records were not used ex-
tensively for commercial purposes nor
had anyone attempted to use them to
any extent in public performances for
private profit.
This peaceful association between
the musician and the record was rude
~ shattered with the advent of the
%microphone and the amplificatiOn
tube. Prior to this development the
monograph record could just about
be heard satisfactorily by a few peo-
plo in a normal-sized living room.
The amplification tube made it pos
sible to fill dance halls. theatres, audi
forums, stadiums, and. to an almost
unlimited degree, the outdoors itself.
This Improvement, while welcomed
artistically by the musician, revOlu-
tionized the use to which records
would be put in the future. The mus
ician did not complain II find fault
with the machine, but rather with the
use made Of its output.
There began extensive. unauthor-
lied. commercial uses of the phono-
graph record by groups which made
no direct or indirect contribution to
its production. They Immediately
forsaw the fabulous profits which
they could realize from the almost UNI
limited commercial uses to which rec
ordings could now be put.
Thus came to an end the tranquil
relationship that existed between the
professional musician and the record
ing industry. From that time on
these commercial exploiters have
been Systematically and unconscious
ably using these records. and, in so
doing, have ~pocketed millions Of dol
lars in profit without consideration
or any obligation, moral or otherwise,
to the artist who created the record.
While the musician rightfully feels
despoiled of profits which should ac-
crue to him because Of these UNI
authorized usages. he feels even more
keenly the work opportunities which
he and his colleagues have lost, and
are still losing, because Of the very
record which he has created, and
which these commercial users employ
to supplant him. THIS VICIOUS
TREND IN THE DESTRUCTION OF
MUSICIANS EMPLOYMENT OPP
PORTUNITIES is CONSTANTLY IN
CREASING. More and more fields
are found in which recordings are
used to displace live musicians. and
there is on end to the trend in sight.
