The Marvelous Duo Art
J The DUO ART is the very latest style of Player Piano, a product of the Aeolian
Company; makers of the famous and original Pianola. It can be played manually as a
regular piano, as a player piano, using any make of 88-note roll, and as a reproducing
instrument. It stands out above all others, superior in every particular.
J Tone Gradation Having twice the
number of tone gradations of any other
player instrument, producing perfect
"tone color" impossible in any other
player.
2. "Time" Control Which not only
regulates the time but instructs and guides
the one playing, ' assuring the correct
interpretation of the selection.
3e Accenting the Solo Bringing out
perfectly the solo (or melody), but at
the same time controlling the accompani
ment so that it properly supports
the solo.
4. No Pedaling The air chamber is
constantly supplied without foot pedaling,
permitting the one playing to devote his
entire attention to interpretation,
' thus making the instrument a pleasure
instead of a labor.
5. Simplicity of Construction No
complicated or troublesome mechanisms.
' as in other players.
6. Reproducing the Actual Playing
. of the Great Pianists With the
wonderful Duo Art Rolls, as perfectly
as the Victrola reproduces the voice of
Caruso and other great artists.
' (J Neither space nor words enable us to explain here how marvelous is this new instrument.
There are so many interesting points about it if is so far in advance of all other
players we urge you to come in and let us play it for you; let us show its exclusive and
wonderful features.

The Gresham Choral Society had Its
first meeting since the recent concert
last Wednesday In the grade school
assembly hall. Work was done on the
opera. "Aida." It is planned to give
the opera in concert form early in i
May under the auspices of and for the

Portland to assist the Portland Ora
torio Society. That will give about
100 voices for each performance. Under
the capable leadership of Joseph A.

musiclanly and enjoyable rendition is
to be expected.

The Oakland Tribune, Oakland, Cal.,
is authority for the statement that the
municipal pipe 'organ recitals, San
Francisco, with the great Leinare as
organist, are not well attended. The
Tribune of last Sunday says: "Super
visor Schmitz. who is a musician of
acknowledged standing, is now on the
music committee of the Board of Su
pervisors, and in discussing the munic
ipal organ concerts, wherein the per
formances of Lemare. one of the
greatest organists In the world, upon
one of the greatest organs in the world,
fails to draw as much at the door as
a nickel show, accounts for the public
inappreclation in part by the poor
acoustics of the auditorium. He says
that a great many fall to find the or
gan concert enjoyable, and may not
understand why. He has devoted some
attention to thia matter, and there is a
chance that it may now be remedied.
Several attempts have been made to
correct the fault, at least one of which
was quite extensive and involved a
considerable expense. Those who un
dertook to overcome the difficulty
claimed at one time that they had suc
ceeded and put In a bill. It Is felt by
musicians In general that concerts by
such an organist on such an instru
ment are deserving of a better appreci
ation. It is certain that for one reason
or another the public remains unappre
dative." sea
Several new members were added to
the Portland Oratorio Society last
Tuesday night. The addition of several
men singers has helped to balance the
chorus better than formerly. Work
was done on "Aida." Studying thia
opera in concert form gives opportunity
for a much larger chorus than could
be used in a staged production. The
arrangement is such that the full beau
ty of the choruses is brought out, yet it
is wlthlu the range and ability of the
average, good, untrained voice. Mem
bership dues and music for the balance
of the year are low. All people Inter
ested are invited to call at the society
headquarters, 411 Alder street, or phone

ings will be enjoyed. The sight-reading
class will meet at 7:30. Lawrence Uei
ritser will have charge, teaching his
own special system.

There is a possibility that a "mas
ter class" will be organized In San
Francisco for the study of the "higher
technique" of the piano as revealed In
the art of the master technician of
them all Leopold Godowsky. That
artist has expressed a willingness to
undertake the instruction of a class of
not more than 20 whose attainments
are sufficiently great to render them
eligible. According to Manager Selby
Oppenheimer, who directed the recent
San Francisco appearances of Godow
sky, the class would be idential in plan
and scope with Godowsky's European
"high school" of piano instruction,
which he headed several years prior to
the war and which attracted profes
sional pianists of virtuoso grade trom
all over the world. Before the war
Godowsky beaded a similar class in
New York, and later in Chicago. Mr.
Oppenheimer says that if sufficient in
terest is manifested in the present plan
San Francisco will enjoy the same raj-e
privilege, and that the establishment
of such an institution for the Spring
and Summer months would meaa a
greRt deal to the musical interests of
California in general ana ban Fran
cisco in particular.
