MAKERS OF MELODY BECOME FAMOUS Indianapolis Takes Its Place in the Musical World by Creating Music That Appeals to All People Who Love to Dance or Dream. \ BY WALTER D. HICKMAN Indianapolis is rapidly taking its place as a center where pleasing melodies are created. This is being accomplished in many ways qnd by several different organizations as well as individuals. Emil Seidel, by one of his new Gennett record releases, is helping to put this city to the front as one of the musical leaders. Seidel has established himself in this country as pianist of

outstanding merit. He has that, opular touch in the fingers . liieh makes a classical instrument along popular lines of the piano. This pianist and orchestra leader made a nation-wide tour with George White’s Scandals some seasons ago. Last season he made a personal sensation in Montreal, Canada. For many seasons he has been in charge of the orchestra at the Apollo, where he has built up a definite personal following. His new records will make it possible for him to increase his public in this country as well as abroad. Charlie Davis has become a national figure in music through radio and internationally by composing a hit some time ago by the name of “Copenhagen.” I was told by a marine some time who was in China that the sweetest home feelin’ that he had over there was when he dropped into an American Club and heard an orchestra playing the Indianapolis made melody, “Copenhagen.” Davis has increased his local and State following by his work with his orchestra on the Indiana stage in connection with the Publix presentations. The Circle Theater orchestra on the air has had men of international repute for its conductors. There are several colored composers in the city who are attracting favorable attention by their recitals as well as their compositions. There are numerous dance orchestras here that are mighty popular with those who dance. Many of these have increased their followings through broadcasting. m * u Indianapolis theaters toduy offer: “The Road to Rome,” at English's with Grace George and McKay Morris: Watson and Cohan at the Lyric; Guy and Pearl Magley at Keith's;
