Who Was Aeolian Artist "Henri Bergman"?
By Ben Roth

Hello everybody,  I have a Mel-O-Dee roll and a Duo-Art roll both
played by "Henri Bergman".  The Mel-O-Dee roll is "Don't Tell Her What's
Happened To Me".  That exact same arrangement also appears on YouTube
on a Duo-Art roll supposedly played by Frank Milne.

Was "Henri Bergman" a pseudonym for Frank Milne?  I hope someone knows.
Thanks.

Ben Roth

 [ The pseudonym "Henri Bergman" appeared on Aeolian Company piano
 [ rolls actually played by Robert Armbruster.  Ref. The Billings
 [ Rollography, Vol. 3, "Pianists", page 37.   However, the name might
 [ also have been used by Frank Milne, so trust your ears!  -- Robbie
