THE ADVERTISING
Of LOCAL FIRM
DISCUSSED
Their Dignifed Attitude Com
mended by the Music Trade
Review of New York.

{ From San Francisco Chronicle. }
While every music house in San
Francisco has lately adopted cam
paign of aggression where 1t became
customary to attract the attention of
the public by means of advertisements
which forced themselves into atten-
ton by reason of the extraordinary
inducements offered, the firm of Sher-
man, Clay & Co. remained conserva-
tive and permitted all these modern
methods to pass by without as much
as a side glance. While some of the
houses advertised high-grade pianos
at "sensationally low figures; while
others tempted the public by wonder.
allowing as much as 500 on the frs.
payment, while again others inau-
gurated piano clubs and word con-
tests, all of which endeavored to i'm
press the reader that he was receiving
something for nothing, the firm of
| Sherman, Clay & Co. remained faith
full to its well known principle of con-
! servatism.
1t is, indeed, interesting to watch
the policy of this house. As is well
known, Sherman, Clay & Co. has, as
its leader the Steinway piano. This
instrument is simply placed by the
| firm upon a pedestal and pointed out
as something superior-as something
| better than anything else in the estab-
| lishment. There is no reduction on
Steinway. There are no cut prices
| on that instrument. If any induce
ments are given in the way of INSTALL
ments they are not such as to inter-
| fere with the established price of the
instrument, but the patron is made to
understand that in being enabled to
| obtain a Steinway by the installment
method he thereby obtains such great
advantages as to put all discounts and
cash allowances on other pianos in
the shade. In this manner sherman,
Clay II &c. simply put a fence around
the Steinway and the public is not
| loath to adopt the firms respect and
admiration for this favored instru-
ment.
This goes to show how a piano
houae may assist in giving an. instru-
ment an unassailable position in
the trade, and l do not doubt that the
methods in which the Steinway is
handled has largely contributed to
the standing 1t possesses among artists
and musicians. When Sherman. CLAY
& Co. had concluded their important
combination with Lyon & Healey. of
Chicago, they never used this move
as food for sensational advertising. A
report setting forth the action taken
between the two houses was sent to
the eastern trade press, and the local
papers Were merely asked to repro
duce these reports verbatim without
single syllable being added by Sher-
| man, Clay & Co. The reproduction
of these reports was followed by an
exhibition of Lyon & Healey brass
| instruments in the show windows of
the firm, and the matter was dropped
| Immediately after all the dealers on
the coast had been notified of the i'm
| portant move, 1t was all done In
such dIenifled way and without the
least bit Of sensational 0stentatio,.
that 1t raised the estimation in which
the firm was always held.

'PARs|FAL"
TOMORROW EVE
WAGNER's GREAT DRAMA
AT THE FRAZER.
Curtain Will Rise Promptly at 7:45
Owing to the Length of the Per-
formance-Trumpeter VIII An
nomce the Beginning-No One Ad-
mitted During the Performance.

Owing to the length of the play.
those attending the Wagner drama
"Parsifal," which comes to the Fra
ger tomorrow night, October 23, are
requested to be in their seats prompt
ly at 7:45, as the play will begin at
that time, and no one will be admit
ted during the performance.
The special orchestra will play a
Wagner prelude at 1880 and a trum-
peter will announce the beginning of
the performance at 7:45.
This is one of the great musical
dramas of modern times and Pendle-
presented usually only in the larger
cities having large playhouses with
enormous stage room.
A singularly impressive and mag
nificent spectacle seen, among several
others, in the famous production of
"Parsifal," is the temple of the Holy
Grail in the last act. 1t is supposed
to be situated on Mount Salvaat in the
Pyrenese mountains of Spain. The
temple is the place of worship of the
knights of the Holy Grail and was
originally erected for the safekeeping
of the sacred relics, the holy cup and
spear.
AS befitting such an important re-
ceptacle, the temple was an edifice of
heroic proportions and grandeur. 1t
was built of the choicest and most
valuable of marble, which has been
quarried out of the mountains upon
which it was constructed. Its massive
walls and arches were surrounded by
/, grand dome of majestic proportions
and beauty
on the tesseiated floor, in the cen-
ter, stood the raised dias upon which
was placed the Holy Grail, A softly
subdued light that came from the
stained glass window in the dome,
filled the large hall with a strange and
mysterious effect. II is into this gor-
geous temple that Parsifai Is escorted
| by the faithful GurnemaTz and ac-
companied by the reformed and peni-
tent Kundry.
The assembled knights proclaim and
crown him king of the Holy Grail,
Parsifal ascends the marble throne
upon which the Holy Grail Is placed.
The assembled knights and all pres
ent sink to the floor upon their bend
ed knees as Parsifal, throwing back
the kingly mantle from his shoulders,
uncovers and raises the Holy Grail in
| alteration.
At he raises it aloft, it glows with
a radiant light that illumines all pres
| tic nf
beautiful white dove descends from
above lowering over the head Of Par
sifal, and the curtain slowly falls
upon the grand and final tableau OF
Wagner's glorious masterpiece.
