VICTORITES HONOR WHITEMAN Nearly 200 New York Wholesalers and Dealers Make Up Theatre Party at the Palace as Tribute to Paul Whiteman and His Orchestra Nearly 200 Victor wholesalers and dealers of New York and vicinity, with members of their staffs, attended the performance at the Palace Theatre on Friday evening, October 27, in honor of Paul Whiteman and his Palais Royal Orchestra, who are just completing their fourth consecutive week at that leading vaudeville playhouse. Through the efforts of Hugh C. Ernst, sales manager of the New York Talking Machine Co., several of the boxes and a number of front orchestra chairs were filled with Victor enthusiasts, who thoroughly enjoyed the preliminary show, ljut saved a big welcome and applause for Whiteman and his men when they appeared, at about 10:30. The orchestra rendered its regular program, typically Whiteman, and after an encore or so the curtain was dropped. The audience would not accept the finish, however, and finally forced the raising of the curtain and still another encore from the orchestra. As a last desperate effort, lo ei:able the show to proceed, Whiteman himself stepped out before the drop and thanked his friends, and particularly the "Victor people," for the verj' enthusiastic reception. He called it a .-■p jcch and thus made good on a promise he had niiulc to Mr. Ernst early in the week. Whiteman also took occasion to announce that he had been booked for the following week, making the fifth week of his engagement at the Palace — a most unusual record. After the show a goodly number of the talking machine men and their ladies, who still hungered for the Whiteman melodies, adjourned to the Palais Royal and spent several hours in enjoyment of the entertainment provided at that Broadv;ay resort. It was a big night from every point of view. CARDINAL PHONOGRAPH CO. MOVES General Sales Headquarters Moved From Zanesville to Cincinnati — F. F.
