SECTION I: ROLLS ISSUED BY THE RUDOLPH WURLITZER COMPANY



TEST ROLL

This short roll with no number is used to test the operation of the organ and to tune it. It is spooled on its own spool, resembling a standard player piano roll spool in diameter and appearance, unlike style 165 music rolls, which have hollow cardboard cores of 2-inch diameter and are intended to be chucked onto the metal spool of the organ for playing.



ROLL NUMBER 6500

(This roll is almost certainly not a Wurlitzer roll (but see the note to roll 6524). The number is based on a typewritten label found on Ross Davis' copy. Wurlitzer customarily began a roll number series with roll -01 rather than roll -00. Moreover tunes 2 and 9 appear on Wurlitzer rolls in better arrangements; while Wurlitzer very often re-used a tune from one roll on another roll, the tune was never re-arranged, the sole exception being "Peggy O'Neil," with 20 years intervening between the two arrangements. It is very likely that this roll is one of those issued by C.W. Parker, the Leavenworth carousel manufacturer, who is known to have issued at least 3 style 165 rolls in the 1920's, as discussed in the note to the "Bacigalupi Special" roll in the non-Wurlitzer section of this catalog)

* The number of this roll is unknown, the original roll or (more likely) rolls being lost. The eight Wurlitzer arrangements on this 10-tune roll survive only because of a very early Play-Rite recutting made for Ross R. Davis. The Davis version lacks roll numbering and tune titles. We believe that tunes 5-10 were part of roll 6532, issued in 1922, but do not know from what roll tunes 1 and 4 came. This 10-tune version is a copy of the Davis recut in the collection of Don Rand, Thomaston, Me., with the following modifications: tune 2 was arranged by Max W. Hurley and tune 3 by Tom Meijer to supplement the original eight tunes; tune 5, only the first half of which is present in the Davis recuts, was lost in the process of making this new 10-tune recut, and so was newly arranged, using sheet music and tape recordings of the Davis- roll version, by David E. Stumpf; and, finally, tune 6, which was missing its opening section in the Davis version, has been supplied with an introduction.

** This is the title under which the march was copyrighted and published in 1889; it is also the title given in New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians. Roll and record labels customarily title it "Le Père de la Victoire (The Father of Victory)."

* Tunes 1-2 were arranged in 2004 by David E. Stumpf to replace missing, unknown original tunes. They replace on 21st century recuts the substitutions listed below for 20th century recuts.
** No copyright or other date has been found for "Thurston," but it can be assigned to the period 1917-1919 on the basis of these facts: it appeared on Wurlitzer's style 125 and 150 rolls issued in October 1919; up to 1916 Stasny, a composer and music publisher of Czech origin, was located in Cleveland, spelling his name the original Czech way, "Stastny"; from 1918 he was located in New York City, having adopted the spelling "Stasny."

* Late recuts have the B.A.B. arrangement of the fox trot "Amapola = Poppy" (Joseph M. Lacalle)(Dec 15, 1924) substituted as tune 1.

NOTE: Most, perhaps all, of the tunes on this roll have note-for-note interpolations from other Wurlitzer 165 tunes in them, such as phrases from "Beautiful Ohio" in tune 3, "Ja-Da, Ja-Da, Ja-Da" in tune 7, "On Miami Shore" in tune 8, "Chong, He Come From Hong Kong" in tune 10 (this last suggesting that roll 6500 might be a Wurlitzer roll after all). The other tunes where interpolations have not been recognized may still contain them, taken from other, lost Wurlitzer rolls. For example tune 6 contains passages that sound exactly like phrases from "Ecos de Lisboa" (by Goris & Aceves?).
