HE MUST MAKE HONK MUSIC.
Task Confronting Bandmaster for the
Automobile Show.
To extract music from an automobile honk was the problem set for E. W. Berry, bandmaster, by the show committee of the automobile dealers yesterday. Mr. Berry's band is to furnish the music for the motor car show in Convention Hall February 3 to 8. When he was awarded the contract yesterday it was with the express stipulation that some kind of automobile music should be played.
As this sort of music is represented by only a few compositions, it was also suggested to Mr. Berry that a chance to make himself famous was presented by the contract. If there is no automobile music, the next easiest thing is to write it. The production of an automobile show march or waltz is essential, and no doubt Mr. Berry, having seen his duty, will do it.
If you see a tall, intellectual looking man testing the horns of automobiles which stand by the curb, don't mistake him for a motorist. It may be Mr. Berry investigating the musical quality of the honk.
