154 THE TALKING MACHINE WORLD May IS, 1919 DEATH OF LIEUT. JAMES R. EUROPE GIMBEL BROS.’ INITIAL WINDOW DISPLAY OF BRUNSWICKS Leader of Famous 369th U. S. Infantry Band Meets Tragic Death in Boston—Organization Recently Made Number of Pathe Records The tragic death in Boston on May 9 of Lieu- tenant James Reese Europe, better known as "Jim Europe,” after an altercation with a mem- ber of this famous band, ends a career that was one of the sensations of the music world. Jim Europe was born in Mobile, Ala., in 1881. but by reason of his long metropolitan career he is properly considered a New Yorker. After picking up musical education wherever he could, he became not only a conductor of individuality, but a composer of no mean skill, an accom- plished pianist and a musician who could play any instrument in the band. Before the war he was the most popular leader of New York’s dance hall orchestras, and the one man who made jazz music the favorite music The Bell Hood ru.

This famous leader and his “Hell Fighters' Band” have made records for Pathe of all of the favorite se- lections. These Pathe records give Europe’s music at its best. By means of these records the jazz music, inaugurated and perfected by this wonderful leader, will stand as a lasting memo- rial to the skill of Lieutenant Europe and enable American dance lovers to always hear this splen- did dance music. Lieut. J. R. Europe oi the day. When the war started Europe en- listed, and soon became the leader of the most famous band of the American forces. He led his ’’Hell Fighters” (369th United States Infantry) band overseas and made American jazz the fa- vorite music of France. This famous fighting band cheered the boys "over the top” and was a very determined factor in helping win the war. Europe's band played for Generals Pershing and Gouraud, and at their direction went through France, playing at the various rest camps and hospitals and in Paris. Since his return from the battlefields of France, Europe’s jazz band has made a sensational tour in this country, playing to packed houses in every city. Everyone that has heard this re- markable music has gone wild about it. Although Europe has died, his wonderful mu- LATEST CHARMAPHONE LITERATURE The Charmaphone Co., manufacturer of the Charmaphone phonograph, has just issued an attractive folder featuring its complete list of instruments.

YOUNG COMPANY Established 1899 Manufacturers BEAVER DAM, KY. PERFECTS NEW TYPE OF MACHINE F. D’A Goold Applies the Principle of the Vio- lin Sound Chamber to the Reproduction of Talking Machine Records—Also Invents a New Universal Reproducer F. D’A. Goold, who some two years ago pro- duced a new type of talking machine without metal reproducer, diaphragm or tone arm, which at the time was described in The Talking Ma- chine World, has in the interim worked to per- fect this instrument, and has just completed a new model much smaller in size than the orig- inal, and in fact corresponding in size to va- rious machines now on the market. In the new machine music is reproduced through the medium of a wooden sound cham- ber similar in size to the body of a violin but of square shape. The needle arm is attached to one corner of the box, the other corner being attached to the side of the cabinet, so that the reproducer can move freely. Through clever ar- rangement hill and dale records can also be played on the new model. The reproduction is pleasing, particularly in the playing of instru- mental numbers, although it also brings out the qualities of the voice very acceptably. It is probable that arrangements will be made to mar- ket the machine in some form or other in the near future. Mr. Goold has also perfected a new universal reproducer which he expects to offer to the trade shortly. Mr. Goold is a veteran talking machine man and for many years was connected with labora- tories of prominent concerns both in Europe and this country. This experience is enabling him to evolve an entirely new principle in re- production that is distinctly interesting, regard- less of its value as a commercial proposition. The Standard Accessory Corp. has been incor- porated in Milwaukee to manufacture record flashers, equipment and accessories for talking machines. The capital is $50,000.
