there was not one fraction of sound
to greet the ear which detracted
from the realism OF the effect. No
! where could the ear detect a me-
chauical suggestion of the instru-
ment that was reproducing that
music so excellently. When the
power of the voltage is turned on
only half strength the sound fills
the huge ballroom completely. For
soloist's records such as Pablo
Casals' violoncello records or for a
voice record the power must be con-
siderably lessened for realistic effect,
thus requiring human intelligence
and good taste always in control of
this stupendous mechanical device
At the present time this auditorium
model phonograph is managed at the
Forest Glen school by DR.. George NJ .
Leimbacif. secretarytreasurer of the
institution. He also is a thorough
musician and evinced much satisfac-
ton and keen delight in the new ac-
QUESTION of the school.

troversial interest to achieve front
page publicity or its equivalent in
papers of an nations. this promises
to be very entertaining evenings S

There is one other musical event
in this series of programs. January
1o the famous institution of all string
quartets, "The Flonzaleys." will pre-
