ACCORDION CRAZE
Ousting the Saxophone
After the saxophone, the accordion.
It is being played everywhere, drown-
ing the crooning of the "sax" in a lilt-
ing frenzy of organ sounds. The Ita-
lian quarter had it first. Dance or-
chestras are taking it up. It is becom-
ing indispensable to clubs. And now
there is the London Accordion Club,
whose object is to provide facilities for
practice and tuition for amateurs.
Mr. Walter K. Harding, of Hillersdon-
avenue, Barnes, S.W., who is founding
the club, told the "Daily Mail" chat
there was every prospect of the venture
gathering a large membership.
"Our object," he said, "is to provide
a meeting place for people who are in-
terested either as listeners or players on
the accordion, particularly the piano
accordion.
"Similar clubs have been enormously
successful oh the Continent and in Ame-
rlca. There is no doubt that the accor-
dion is becoming increasingly popular."
