considered one of the most im
portant . developments in tone re
production during the present
year. This new type of horn
speaker has been developed en
tirely by the. Pooley Company,
which, for thV past twenty-odd
years has been building and ex
perimenting with reproducing in
struments.
Since the new and improved
type of phonograph has been
' placed on the market, those who
have made a special study of the
subject agree that the larger the
horn both in length and area at
the -mouth the better the tone
range, provided, of course, the
taper of the horn is properly
matched with the reproducing
unit and the size.
The new Pooley double horn
peaker has been scientifically de
signed to amplffy sound waves
evenly, accurately, completely.
Its leagtb is important. It Is ap
proximately five feet long. Its
construction Is such that the tones

NHKV YORK (AP) - Three

This is the vision of the future
forecast by Walter Damrosch, for

Symphony Orchestra, in review

musical accomplishments of 1927.
Mr. Damrosch, who is music
counsel for the . National Board
casting company, predicted that
at the end of these three years,
the United States will also show
an Increase in its own creative
musical artists.

42 years ago, at the death of his
father, who established the organ

"Opportunities for young stu

"The young American of real tal

of training here as he would have
in the older countries.
"There is much money In this

technically more perfect and the
theory of music has been well
learned. All they must do now is
to get the great American thought

This country has been behind

"The price of the new A. C. re

savings of automatic, quantity

while achieving great economies,
also attain a high degree of engin

perfect a set before asking the
public to approve it. And when
we say 'Perfected' we mean a re
ceiver which will give complete
and lasting satisfaction; from
f It handles, which all troubles, crudities and
j?lutne of a non-essentials have been refined;
which gives pure, natural tone;
which is mechanically and scien

have In our new A. C. Model and
we present It as the highest devel
opment of radio today."
