I LAST & THOMAS Music Department I 1 STEIN WAY, KURTZMANN, SOHMER, 1 I WEBER, BRINKERHOFF g I and other Pianos I Steinway, Weber, Steck and Stroud I DUO-ARTJPIANOLAS 1 I Victor Victrolas Aeolian Vocations 1 PBf'' Terms arranged to suit your convenience Reeves Eliminates Jazz From Orchestra Program Olive Reeves' Jazz Orchestra will hereafter be known as OHe Reeves' Dar ce Orchestra For some time the orchestra has not been jazzing and in view of the fact that so many people are opposed to jazz music the name will be changed, The popular orchestras ot today are Inclined to make dance cnuslc lively but at the same time beautiful. Waltzes are played concert soft and sweet and the waltz is the only old dance that has retained Its popularity. Some people are of the opinion opin-ion that all popular music is jazzy but they are wrong. Most of the pop-Ular pop-Ular music of today Is just the opposite the arrangements must be the work of artists or the song will not sell. Some time ago Professor Ballantyne of Ogden demonstrated a tune in the Salt Lake tabernacle. The tune used was a song that deserves all the criticism given it and then some. It is trash of the worst kind. Wc have had the number on sale for several months and have not sold a copy. The number, "You'll Nver Miss the Wine in Dixieland" is not a real song and the people as a rule don't buy such trash. But there arc a great many popular songs that are fit for every home and they are the kind the public buy6. I will mention several songs that we are featuring now and you will no doubt agree with me that they are beautiful melodies with lyrics that convey beautiful sentiment. "Hiawatha's Melody of Love," "Whispering," "Wondering," "As the Rose," "Avalon," "Heart of Mine," "Just Like a Gypsy," "The Love a Gypsy Knows," and I could go on and name hundreds of the same type. They are love songs as "Alice Ben Bolt," was a love song of the present day. "The Love Nest" is the type of song that the public buys the most of. The chorus runs: "Just a love nest down on the farm, "Like a dove nest, cozy and warm. "A veranda with a 6ort of clinging vine, ' Then a kitchen where the rambler roses twine. "Then a small room tea Get of blue "Best of all room dream room for two ' Better than a palace with a gilded dome, "Just a love nest you can call home." Who but will say the above lyrics are beautiful and the melody is one of distinction. Such music should adorn every piano and will help the music dealers as well as the people who are desirous of having better music in the home. "Therefore, the name Jazz will be eliminated in connection with Olio Reeves' Dance Orchestra and the policy of better music will be followed. The public is the one to decide such things and as the popular sentiment seems to be for the abolishment of Jazz twhlch musicians really favor) the orchestra will in the future lend its efforts tcward the other extreme. "Sincerely yours for better music, (Adv.) (Signed) OLIE REEVES. 1 Pick That Xmas I I Phonograph Now! I Shop early and avoid the rush. A small deposit will J hold one for Christmas de- l livery.
