TALKIES!

MANY apply but few are chosen.

as for people who would enter the
sound pictures.
In competition with all other avail
able makes, Knabe has been selected
by four of America S leading studios
Fox, Metro Goldwyn, Paramount

The wonderfully rich, sympathetic
tone that has won Knabe the afec-
ton and loyalty of the great opera
singers, and that caused it to be Sc

Metropolitan Opera Company-has
again triumphed.
When you see and hear the new re-

you will see the beautiful Knabe,
and hear the world-famous Knabe
tone.
The same outward magnihcence
and tone richness, that have won
Knabe its important new role, make
it the logical piano TO enrich your
home and charm your family and
friends.

Open House Meeting Makes
Good Mixer for Islanders.

The open house meeting of the Com
munity Club provided an opportunity
for neighbors from all parts of the
Island to get together, the young as
well as the not so young.
1t is gratifying TO note that many
from different parts of the Island
were among those present. The fact
that many of the crowd had been out
to the. teachers reception the evening
before acted as no deterrent. showing
that Vashon Island is indeed q good
place to remain young,
AS the open house meeting of this
month had been postponed week
the next one will occur in little less
than month. Those in charge of
these meetings would appreciate the
community's keeping this date in
mind, so that there will be no conflicts
and we can all get together for neigh
borly good time. The regular time for
this meeting is the third Tuesday OF
the month.
