A unsteady Artistic Surprise.

The field in automatic players and
mechanical reproducers of sound is
comparatively new, although such a
high degree of perfection has already
been attained by the various manufac-
turers, and especially by the Victor
Talking Machine company of Camden,
N. j., yet, from time to time, some sur
prise Is placed before the public that
eclipses all previous efforts. The Victor
company holds the undisputed leader
ship in the line of artistic sound re-
producing instruments and their recent
achievement-the Victrola will add lus-
ter to their already glorious career.
The mechanism of the Victrola is the
best of the Victor style of talking ma
chimes, enclosed in a handsome cabinet
four feet high and about twenty or
twenty one inches square. All the me-
chanical parts are enclosed within a
box at the top and when the Victrola
is played the closing of the lid shuts
out all mechanical sounds, making the
reproduction of either voice or instru-
ment marvelously clear and sweet The
volume of sound is modified as you
please by opening or closing the small
doors near the top of the cabinet
through which the sound comes
The cabinet is of mahogany with
piano finish, the front doors conceal
ten record albums. affording space for
one hundred and fifty records. The
Victrola is a handsome article of furn-
iture that will not give offense to the
most dignified music room, but above
all it is the musical triumph of the
Victor company. The Victrola will I'M
doubtedly carry the glorious Victor
music into large per cent of the best
homes throughout the world.
A month ago one of the first sent out
by the factory was brought to this
city by that enterprising firm, the E.
Z. Forbes Piano Co. They expected
to use 1t In their opening concert on
the 2Sth of August, but 1t sold so
quickly there was no opportunity for
a demonstration. One Will be used
in the concert given on the 2Sth of
the present month. The Victrola,
however is not a concert machine but
a strictly home machine of the most
elegant type.
