It is the very latest in Player Pianos, the product of the Aeolian Company, originators of the Pianola. The Duo Art begins where the other Players left off it is far superior in every particular. - 1 Tone Gradation having twice the number of Tone Gradations of any other player instrument, produc- . ing perfect "tone color" impossible in any other player. . 2 "Time" Control which not only regulates the time but instructs and guides the one playing, assur ing the correct interpretation of the selection. 3 Accenting the Solo bringing out perfectly the solo (or melody), but at the same time controlling the accompaniment so that it properly supports the Solo. Remember it can be played by hand from the keyboard in the usual manner; it plays any 88-note music roll, it reproduces the actual performance of the great pianists. There are so many interesting things about the Duo Art we invite you to come in to see and hear this wonderful musical instrument.

You might try the motorman, though; he's a single man." Exchange. A delightful musical programme was given in the home of Mrs. J. C. Hare last Thursday for the benefit of the Shakespeare Study Club's soldiers' and sailors' fund. The musicians taking part in the programme were: Mrs. Agnes Young, pianist, who gave sev eral selections; Miss Marie Chapman, violin; Miss Nona Lawler, soprano; Miss Dagmar Inez Kelly, contralto, who sang several patriotic songs. Vivian Eiker and Frances Hare played a piano number each and a piano duet. Miss Mabel Hefferlln, dramatic reader, gave several selections. The pro gramme was finished with the singing of ""America," led by Mrs. Nettle Greer Taylor. e Harold Hurlhut received two letters of interest last week lauding his book op "Voice Fundamentals," from famous opera singers. Pasquale Amato, lead ing baritone of the Metropolitan Grand Opera, New York, writes of an un usually busy season. Madame Galll- slx hours in the biting cold of a Winter morning to get seat tickets for her per formances and it was stated that who she sang, the sedate Metropolitan audi ence "yelled and stamped like a Yeat era mining-town audience in the earsf days." Bryan Truchot, baritone, recently gave a programme of songs in the Masonic Temple. Newburg, Or. Mr. Truchot, who is a student with Harold Hurlbut, was especially successful in two old-time songs "Love's Old, Sweet Song" (Molloy). "Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes," also in "Good Night" (Tunison) and "On the Shore" (Neid linger). Mr. Truchot's voice is growing steadily in richness and clarity of tone. Galli-Curci, the new grand-opera soprano star, has got plenty of com mon sense, which is a powerful asset for a singer. It now turns out that her manager did not wish her to "open" with the "Dinorah," "Shadow Song," in New York City, recently. She insisted on "Dinorah," on these grounds: "Dinorah" will offer no recent traditions in New York, as a basis of comparison. The "Shadow Song" is built on a good tune and it is placed early enough in the opera to permit "newspaper reviewers to get to their offices in time to write without too much "of a rush." Galli-Curci won. The opera was "Dinorah" and she made one of the most sensational opera successes in our day and generation. ' Th.e STRING of Qvprbmb QUALITY-"! NSW - rBra. J CREATION Mat I a.

Claudia Muzio. the prima donna of the Metropolitan Opera Cdmpany, said: "The first night that I sang with the great Enrico Caruso was, I think, the happiest of my entire life. My childhood dream had been realized. My debut was made In Florence, Italy, if the role of Manon, when I was 20 and after only one year's voice training. I never sang a small part In my life. The nearest I ever came to it was in Havana, when I was persuaded by Zen atello and Maria Gay to do Micaela In their performance of "Carmen." Since my debut at the Metropolitan two years ago I have never missed one perform ance on account of illness. Work with me Is not so much for the glory It brina-s. but as a duty.
