Fortune Gallo, indomitable impresario,
whose Han Carlo Grand Opera company
has become an institution in this coun

Interest In a revival of the Gilbert k.
Sullivan operaa haa been growing during

Gallo's purpose to produce them aa near
ly as possible as they were originally
given, with new scenery, costumes and
all necessary accexsortes with a large
company of excellent singers and com
plete orchestra.
It Is a safe assertion that the Gallo
English Opera company will be put out
upon the same scale of excellence that
has marked the productions of the San I
Carlo Grand Opera company and the j
visit or the company to mis city win De
pleasantly anticipated.
To head his list of principals. Gallo
brings us a great novelty in the shape
of a young Japanese singer, liana Shi
mozumi, who will be seen as Yum-Yum
In "The Mikado" and and O Mimosa
San In "The Geisha." and she Is an
nounced as an absolute find. He also

Your Home Is Incomplete
Without a Player Piano
On your bookshelves you probably have the world's
great authors Thackeray, Hawthorne, Eliot, Dickens,
Scott, etc., as well as today's best sellers Locke,
Wells, Tarkington, Morris and the rest.
There should be in your living room a cabinet filled
with Rolls, bearing the names of'other masters the
world's masters of music Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt,
Mendelssohn, and also the "best sellers" in music, or
the popular hits of the day.
In other words, you should have a Player Piano with
which you can bring into your home the whole world
of music. Without being a pianist or knowing
one note of music, with a little practice a Player Piano
will enable you to play all the great music masterpieces
and, of course, the popular hits of the day. And
remember, if the young folks want to dance, you have
an inexhaustible repertoire of fox trots, one steps and
waltzes.
With a Player Piano you and yours will have a new
understanding of music you will have a keener appre
ciation of its beauties. The Player Piano will broaden
and enrich and make happier the lives of every member
of your household.
We offer the famous Aeolian Company line (makers
of the Pianola and Duo Art) in a wide range of prices

venient payment terms.
