December 24, 1927 EXHIBITORS HERALD 69 ORGAN SOLOS Milton Charles (Chicago Oriental) offered a very novel stunt this week called Oriental Favorites,” which opened with special lyrics on Paul Ash, as one of the favorites, and introduced "Just Once Again.” Paul Small, another favorite came on to sing “Kiss and Make Up,” which was followed by “Whafll You Do.” Mark Fisher obliged with his own song "Everywhere You Go,” singing off-stage. The 6tunt ended with My Blue Heaven.” Although this may not be an original idea, most of Charles’ solos are his own conception and he proves that something new can be injected into an organ 6olo, especially community singing. In the short time that he has been here, he is beginning to re-educate his audience to a better class of organ music. Leonard Salvo (Chicago Harding) offered “Samson and Delilah” as a community singing stunt with comedy slides which introduced "At Dawning” and “Just Once Again.” This was followed with a medley of request 6ongs. The stunt was ended with “My Blue Heaven.” Salvo is entering hie fourth week at this houee and from the reception, it seems that he is liked. Ted Campbell (Michigan City Tivoli) for his Christmas week solo presents a “Trip Around the World at Christmas,” in which he introduces songe of different nations. The stunt also included Chrietmas carol6, with a special set of illustrated slides. This was played as a straight solo with no singing, and the audience seemed to appreciate it very much. Dick Liebert (Pittsburgh Penn) calls his organlogue “The Romance of Life.” Opening with a slide of a baby crying, he plays “Rock a Bye Baby.” Next comes school days with slides taken from “Little Red Schoolhouse.” Then the romantic age with slides of “A Bungalow for Two” used. The last is “The Rheumatic Age” with Dick playing “Silver Threads Among the Gold.” Ed Meikel (Chicago Harding) played this week "Are You Happy?” “A Shady Tree,” “She Don't Wanna,” and some “Went to the Opera” elides, which were played in a novel fashion. Francis Kromar (Chicago Diversey) "A Trip to Heaven” was his organ solo this week in which he used “My Blue Heaven” as a theme for his stunt. Verdi’s “Rigoletto” was interpolated with the “Maeetoso” from Gounod’s “Faust.” During the playing of these operatic pieces special lyrics were flashed on the screen relating the trip to heaven. The audience 6eemed to like this stunt very much. Kromar was compelled to give an encore in the way of “Side by Side.” Chauncey Haines (Chicago Norshore) called his organ slide presentation this week, “A Little Shopping Now and Then Is Relished by the Best of Women.” It was a novel, clever presentation during which Chauncey played "Hello Cutie,” “I Want to Be Happy,” "Gorgeous,” “I’ll Think of You” and “A Night in June.” The audience joined in the singing with great style. Eddie Fitch (Chicago Sheridan) played a medley of popular songe for his organ presentation this week, among which "When the Sand Man Comes” and “When My Girl Goes Away” were featured.
