While the compositions to be played this afternoon Include a sufficient T(' rlety for a-ood balance, one character Jstlo predominates the music la all of a tuneful, melodious nature, free from sad. melancholy note so often prevalent In many compositions. Furthermore, ic nod share of the music Is familiar all of which should tend to satisfy the ma jority of people who comprise the con cert audlencea. As a splendid example of standard composition which, at the same time has become sufficiently ' familiar to most concert roers to be classed as popular, la Rossini's "William Tell overture. Few music lovers and pat rons but know this overture and love It Then there la the Strauss "Southern Koses. which has been widely popu larlsed. Aside from all dance associa tions, waits music Is of a moat appeal- Ins; and beautiful nature. This partlcu lar number Is one of the composer's best. Of course, the arrest Tschalkowsky symphony No. Is the bis; number of the programme and this contains suf flclent Interest and life to make It en joyable to even the uneducated concert goer. The work of Carl Denton, conductor. on this programme has been atven the unselfish support of the entire or rhestra, and his conducting and Henry Kettman's work aa concert master will be features of the occasion.

The comparison with other players begins and ends there for no other player piano is, or could be, a Pianola. . The vital difference between the Pianola and the ordinary Player Piano lies in the cQipIete and accurate control of effects and the unlimited free dom of expression which the Pianola gives the player. The Pianola is a wonderful piece of mechanism but there is absolutely no suggestion of the me chanical in its playing. If you contemplate the purchase of a Player in strument, consider them all, if you wish, but by all mean investigate the Pianola. Pianolas range in price from $520 convenient payment terms arranged if desired.
