WALTER B. ROGERS CONDUCTOR OF THE VICTOR ORCHESTRA
The career of this brilliant young con¬ ductor has been one of uninterrupted suc¬ cess. After some years of study in the Cin¬ cinnati College of Music he joined Cappa's Seventh Regiment Band of New York as cornet soloist, and during the years that followed he was one of the great features of that famous band. On the death of Band¬ master Cappa, Mr. Rogers became the leader of the band and served four years in that capacity. In 1899 John Philip Sousa made him a flattering offer and be became the cornet soloist of Sousa’s Band.
