Her women are dying. Her

culiarly a "Victorious Easter," and a
pood detonation of the country's rep

to see how New York observes the day
and to join in the celebration.
For nearly a week the guests have

their wives and children. For two
years it has heen almost impossible to
? travelling accommodations to the
metropolis, but those difficulties have
eased up and they're here. They are
business men largely looking to ad?
vance trade relations. Not a few of
them will remain all summer.
n o rush is being felt particularly
ai the b-.LT terminal hotels. The Bilt

The influx is felt also at the Astor,
the Plaza and Vanderbilt.
Good business for the hotel keeper
likewise makes good business for the
theatres. Most of the Broadway play?

and children at the circus to-morrow.

A Letter From ^ercy Grainger to The o,4eolian Company
February 2J, I?IQ.
Gentlemen:
In many respects I consider the Duo-Art Piano the most notable invention in
the annals of music. My admiration for this instrument as well as my respect for
the ideals and traditions of your great house make me more willing to bind myself to
make music rods exclusively for the Duo-Art :?: the future.
The value of the Duo-Art Piano, indee i the very reas >: for its being, do: in its
ability to reproduce the actual performances o f the le idt n :; / ia nists. That it does this,
and does it to perfection, I am certainly in a position to know, after many month's
experience with the instrument, after having recorded for it numerous compositions
of my own and after hearing most, if not all, of the record-rolls produced by others.
One point I wish to emphasize?the educational value of the Duo-Art. If I were
learning the piano at this time, I would not confine myself to any individual piano
instructor, but would turn to the Duo-Art and acquire through its records an intimate
knowledge of the style of all the world's greatest pianists, as revealed by these records.
I consider such a course by far the best method by which a pianist who has passed the
first rudimentary stages can develop true artistry. And I consider that every
school and conservatory, as well as every home containing music students, should
have a Duo-Art to supplement the work of the piano instructor.
I have heard other instruments of the Duo-Art's nature, but have no hesitation
in saying that in reproducing the playing of a pianist?his rhythm, dynamics and
pedaling, and, above all, the subtleties of his time-effects?the Duo-Art is vastly
superior to any other instrument of its kind.
Wishingyou the greatest success which the excellence of the Duo-Art merits, I am
Very sincerely,

A" | "AITE Piano is the world's favorite
S musical instrument. Wherever
M civilization exists, wherever mod?
em homes are maintained, there the
piano has its place.
Among the countless thousands who
play the piano are a few who reach real
mastery?who are born with a physical
equipment that enables them to conquer
its technique and a genius for creation
that makes them artists.
These few masters of piano-playing
the world esteems most highly. Under
their fingers the true beauty of the in?
strument is revealed and all the works of
composers, past and present, transformed
from silent printed sheets into living
messages of melodious sound.
A New Piano of Immensely
Broader Scope
In the letter shown above from Percy
Grainger?one of the lew great pianists
? the writer says many significant things
about a new piano?the Duo-Art.
He calls it the "most notable inven?
tion in the annals or music." Says that
its value lies in its ability to "reproduce
the actual playing of the leading pianists."
And that it he were learning to play now
he would "turn to the Duo-Art and ac?
quire, through its records, an intimate
knowledge of the style of all the world's
greatest pianists."
In these and the other things said by
Percy Grainger, in what Paderewski has
said in his published letter, what Josef
Hofmann and Harold Bauer have said,
is indicated something of the extra?
ordinary nature, the wonderful capabil?
ities of the Duo-Art Piano.
The Dun-Art Piano may be ob tai
the following makes: Stcinway, S
Clearly it should be understood that
first and foremost the Duo-Art is a
piano?a conventional piano as it might
be called?with case and keyboard and
musical qualities unchanged. A piano
tor hand-playing and practice and or?
dinary usage.
Then, that it is a Pianola?the instru?
ment that every one may play, putting
his or lier own expression into the music,
finding often for the first time a means
by which to give voice in music to the
interpretative instinct with which all
humanity, in some measure, is endowed.
And.lastly it is a reproducing instru?
ment. A piano upon winch an artist may
play some chosen composition and which
possesses the power to repeat of itself
the identical perform anee without change,
modification or loss ofanypianistic detail.
The Duo-Art's Value in
the Home
Grainger says in another letter on the
snhject of the Duo-Art (for, like the
other great pianists, he is most enthusi?
astic over this wonderful instrument):
"To many, the atmosphere of public
concerts greatly heightens their appreci?
ation of music; but to more musical
natures this is not so. The more musical
individual desires to concentrate his ot?
her faculties on the music only, to glean
from sound alone the mystical messages
that only music can convey. To such the
Duo-Art provides an ideal way of hear?
ing piano music?reposefully in the home,
to be studied and enjoyed just as litera?
ture can be studied and enjoyed from
the printed book."
And this is Percy Grainger speaking?
ned as a Grand or Upright Piano in
trek, Stroud and the famous ?lebcr.

A thoughtful message for every man and
woman interested in the little ones at our own
door,
By ARCHBISHOP HAYES.
*'7?*HE Foundling Hospital deserves the un?
qualified and generous support of New
York City. The Foundling Hospital, with its
fifty years of continued service of the highest
order, in a forbidding field of human misery,
ranks as one of New York's wonderful institu?
tions of Christian charity. All our citizens, ir?
respective of creed, should feel a just pride in
what has been accomplished by the Foundling
Hospital to meet a sad but ever present evil of
weak human nature.
**7JTHE Foundling Hospital is not working for
any selfish interest, but is doing the work
which New York City must do otherwise at a
larger expense to the taxpayer. Through the
Foundling Hospital thousands and thousands
of abandoned babes have been rescued, saved
to society and now are leading respectable lives,
even in places of honor, in every sphere of hu?
man activity.
^7fJ[NFORTUNATE*mothers whose moral
weakness led them to err and who have
been tempted under the impulse of despair and
shame to commit the horrible crime of infan?
ticide have been stayed from the evil and
strengthened for the good through the min
! istry of the saintly and self-sacrificing women
of the Foundling Hospital. No Easter greet?
ing or gift to the Risen Saviour of mankind
could be more gracious and seasonable than to
? save the bodily and spiritual life of tlie aban
- doned babe.
*'(p ASTER means life?the triumph of life
over death?the victory of goodness over
sin. In the name of Christ Risen and Triumph- 1
ant I, as Archbishop, beg that New York
hearken to the appeal now made for the
Foundling Hospital."
PATRICK J. HAYES,
Archbishop.
Archbishop's Residence, April 17, 1919.
