THE TALKING MACHINE WORLD
113
porium now glories in a special recital hall of its own, which is a wonder in attractiveness. The decorations are in green and gold and there is a great deal of artistic glass work. The little stage is designed expressly for giving demonstrations on the talking machine. The plan of the company is to give free concerts every afternoon. All the standard records and machines handled by the department will be featured in the programs. Occasionally, also, there will be numbers played in person by wellknown musicians. John A. Streck, manager of the department, is confident that the innovations will prove popular with the public and be a decided stimulation to the record and machine demand.
Andrew McCarthy and Fred Sherman, of Sherman, Clay & Co., have just returned from a trip to southern California. Mr. McCarthy made his headquarters while in Los Angeles at the wholesale Victor branch there.
