My reply is: The Phonograph Societies are temporarily out of the running as far as America is concerned. The main trouble was too much commercial interference. However, I am confident that the day is not far away when every community in our land will be able to boast of a well- conducted Phonograph Society. Today they flourish in England, France, Germany, Japan and almost every other country on earth. It stands to reason, the purpose and object are too cultivating to be long neglected in this country. Purpose: To bring together persons interested in the better grade of music as represented by phonographic recordings. Object: To provide opportunities for hearing and comparing new and unusual records of American and Foreign origin, and to study the best recordings of stan- dard musical compositions. Also to provide for discussions and occasional talks on matters of interest to the members. The old time enthusiast is fast returning to his old hobby the PHONOGRAPH, the medium by which he was converted to enjoy and appreciate the noblest creations in music. After several years of Radio broadcasting it is beginning to be realized by all of us that broadcast cannot fill our needs as completely as does the gramo- phone record. The vast majority today are variable in their tastes, not following slavishly any particular type of music, but rather seeking variety, and so long as the average person, wants the music suited to his own particular mood at any par- ticular moment, so long will he not be satisfied with the cut and dried Radio pro- gramme of any description, and so long will he depend on his gramophone records to fill his requirements. Hence the old timer is fast returning to his old hobby the PHONOGRAPH.
