John Martin display for Telefunken, Bloch & Gerber electronics and Savage washing machines, Australia, April 1939

    I guess this is at the Royal Easter Show which was held that year from 1st to 12th April.
  • State Library of New South Wales said:
    That is a good thought - there is a little glimpse of the windows in the background - does anyone recognise these as part of one of the buildings on the old Moore Park site?
  • avro99 said:
    It seems John Martin and A.M.Clubb (see sign next to man at left) were associated companies. Here are several adverts from Sydney newspapers for A.M.Clubb, with each mentioning their display stand number 23C Commemorative Pavilion at the April 1939 RAS Easter Show. The Commemorative Pavilion was built in 1938 and opened just in time for the Show that year. www.flickr.com/photos/168051324@N04/51402982352/ trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/231097454 trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/231102932 trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/231102755

    "Mengelberg was music director of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra from 1922 to 1928."

    Date written on negative is 4/19/24.

    We have seen him before in the Bain stream, e.g., Mengelberg (LOC)

    His radio looks like one at the right in the first picture in www.radioheritage.com/radio-station-studios-in-the-1920s/
  • swanq said:
    According to nyphil.org/explore/history "A media pioneer, the [New York] Philharmonic began radio broadcasts in 1922." Presumably Mengelberg was an enthusiast for radio. In the Washington Times. April 03, 1924, Image 24, right-hand column, chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn84026749/1924-04-03/ed-... the newspaper's music critic, William Moore, wrote a tongue-in-cheek piece beginning "A new day is dawning for the poor, overworked music critic. The time Is not far distant when no longer will he be compelled to personally attend three or four musical events each night, write his reviews, and catch the Bloodshot-and-Cinder for his suburban retreat." More seriously, he reviewed a WCAP broadcast of the New York Philharmonic conducted by Mengelberg using a crystal radio set he had built for 15 cents.
