]. Edgar Robinson attended the
convention OF the National Associa-
tion of Sheet Music Dealers held in
New York City the past week.
"Robinson's Monthly Bulletin"
which appeared last week has the
following paragraph as an introduc-
ton: Profitable sales are not
measured entirely by gain in dollars
and cents. A completely satisfied
patron is the dealers greatest as
set in building up his trade. Gus
toners can only be satisfied with
service built on efficiency. courtesy
and individual interest. That is the
kind of service We extend. to you"

demand for Love Me or Not" as
sung by Caruso in English. which
in itself is an event of exceptional
interest to the musical world. The
poem to which this love song is set
is one of the Airs" of Thomas
Campion written three hundred
years ago.
Tosti's Goodbye" as sung by the
late Evan Williams on a Victor rec
ord. is the last one recorded by this
gifted singer. By a concurrence of
things, SO strange as to seem almost
like fatality 1t happens that this
farewell song should have been
his nnal song. 1t was made only a
few weeks before his death when
there passed away one of the great
est of artists and one OF the finest
of men.
A most interesting demonstration
OF the use of the Duo-Art piano
in connection with the teaching of
the fundamentals Of music educa-
tion was prestend at Aeolian Hall,
New York. recently, when Miss Alys
E. Bentley. at one time director. OF
music in the public schools of
Washington. presented one of her
class-groups of children in an
elaborate program OF motor mental
rhythmics and interpretative dances
The demonstration had to do also
with the use of the Duo-Art in
supplying musical accompaniment
for physical education.
At the recital the stage was oc-
cupied by q group of a dozen or
more children ranging in age from
10 IL years. and who moved In
perfect time to the music of the
Stemway Duo-Art which repro
duced records by Godowsky, Grain
ger, Rapee. Byrd and Copeland.
The music for the motor mental
rhythmics, as played by Erno
Rapee, was especially arranged for
the Duo-Art by Miss Bentley.
Thirteen years ago this month the
