BILLY MURRAY TELLS OF CAREER Well-Known Record Artist Ascribes Success in That Field to the Fact That He Was Born Same Year That Phonograph Was Invented Billy Murray, well-known and popular singer, whose records have found their way into hundreds of thousands of homes, prepared a most interesting story of his career for publication in the January issue of the "Edison Monthly." Mr. Murray ascribes his success as a record artist to the fact that he was born in 1879, the same year the phonograph was invented, and made his first record twenty years ago just at the time that the phonograph became popular. Mr. Murray tells of his experience as a minstrel man and of making Edison records for various Edison dealers, notably the Bacigalupi Bros., Edison jobbers in San Francisco. He also told of the discovery of Ada Jones in the start of her work as a record artist. Up to that time the female voice on records had been imitated by a man singing in a falsetto voice, but under such conditions songs with high notes had to be avoided. Mr. Murray also gave some interesting personal information to the effect that his favorite amusement is being a baseball fan, that he lives in Brooklyn, N. Y., in the winter, and on a farm in Middletown, N. Y., in the summer. W. 0. BLACK WITH HOSPE CO. Leaves Knabe Bros. Co. to Assume Management of Piano Department in Omaha Omaha, Neb., January 30. — W. O. Black, formerly with the Aeolian Co. at Cincinnati, O., is now manager of the piano department at the Hospe store, succeeding H. O. Fredericks, who will probably enter the piano trade for himself. Mr. Black was recently connected with the Knabe Bros. Co., and was active in the introduction of the Knabe Crystola, of which he owned half of the patent rights. He is a well-known and experienced piano man and will undoubtedly be very successful in his new territory here. The Pathe Freres Phonograph Co., New York, has increased its capital stock from $1,300,000 to $1,900,000. The Monarch Phonograph Co., of Menominee, Wis., expects to double its output of phonographs within the next sixty days.
