interesting entertainment for about an hour a day on the main floor. The Kimball Co., who hy the way knows every angle of the publicitj' game, heralded this event in the daily papers, and this in turn resulted in "standing room only'" signs being hung out. The number of people who came to hear the boys grew to such an extent in a couple of days that it was necessary to open the big auditorium in the Kimball building in order to accommodate the crowds.
The weeks prior to this the Melodj^ Boys had been going to out^-ing districts and playing for dealers.
Miss Scanlon, the personal booking agent of Mr. Miller, writes back that the co-operation she is receiving from the various dealers is phenomenal and from the looks of things it will be necessar\' for the Melod} Boys to work night and daj^ to fill their engagements.
Mr. Miller's route for the next couple of months is as follows, and if there are an} dealers in these respective territories who have not made arrangements for Mr. Miller's concerts, it would be a good idea for them to write to their local jobber or the branch office of the company from which they are getting their records and make the necessary arrangements for the booking: October 31, November 6, Kansas City; November 7-14, St. Louis; November 15-27, Detroit, followed by dates at Columbus, O.; Dayton, O.; Cincinnati, one week, and Cleveland, also one week.
