AN matter Of common circumstance to hear
strangers greeted by spirits who give most
unusual names-names we never sus-
pected had ever been borne by any one.
Incidents known only to the sir-

For years, Mrs. Cecil M. Cook
submitted to the most rigorous tests
imposed upon her by so-called scien-
ti6c investigators. She was bound,
gagged, put in sacks and cages,
handcuffed, and had her mouth and
hands filled with four-but the

produces the same results in private
homes and hotel-rooms and in any
city. No medium has been tested

Value of AMPICO to the Student

sense dull the tastes of the student On the

greater and more wholesome interest in the
works of the masters. 1t places at the stu
dents command the classic compositions in
authoritative interpretations exactly as they
are played by the greatest pianists. and by
means of the Automatic Encore" the AM
PlCO will repeat any phrase. or the piece in
its entirety, as many times as the student may
wish to hear it.

Personal Direction Of the Artists Play
ihs-The Mood Control. When one of
these artists plays his individuality into

production of his playing. But pianists, even
masters. are human and subject to human
moods. The Mood Control" found only in
the AMPICO. makes it possible for you, by
simple movement Of lever. to control the
playing Of the artist and have the music come
forth soft and low. or loud and brilliant-just
a. your fancy dictates.
Personal Interpretation of the Worlds
Masterpieces. Or. again the personality of
the artist may be entirely put aside and you
may impart your own Interpretation. A
movement Of controlling lever banishes the
artists individuality and permits you to in
terpret the selection in your own way. by
means Of devices which are simplicity itself.
If you wish to compare your playing with
that of the artist you have but to restore the
lever to its original position and the artist
takes UP the playing where you leave off. The
expression controls may be used equally
well with any 88-note roll
The "Automatic Encore" An exclusive
feature Of the AMPICO is the automatic re-
peat device. which may be so Get that any
