MENACE TO ARTISTS
CANNED MUSIC,
(Australian Press Association)
SYDNEY, February 19. The question of banning mechanical music, which is'displacing the orchestras at the picture houses, will be raised at the Australian Premiers’ Conference next. week. The Victorian Premier, Mr Hogan, holds definite views on this subject. He declares that the musicians, affter having spent their lifetime in study, are now “missfits” in any other calling, simply owing to the strangle-hold which America has gained upon the cinema industry of the country. Mr Hogan added that it was only a question of time when the country would have no real musicians. He expressed the opinion that the only way to deal with the actors and actresses in talkies was to tax them just as is being done in the case of those actors and actresses who are appearing here in person.
