Mape Music Has
Seeburg Showings
WHEN WERE YOU BORN?
by
LOS ANGELES-The E.T. Mape Music
Company, distributors of the Seeburg line
in California, Arizona and Nevada, enter-
tained more than 300 guests at the Holly-
wood Roosevelt Hotel on February 28th to
introduce the new Seeburgs for 1941. E. T.
Mape, and brother Vance, flew d~wn from
San Francisco to attend the affair.
L. B. McCreary, Los Angeles manager
for Mape Music; D. J. Donohue, factory
representative, and the Mapes expressed
themselves as well pleased with the turn-
out despite a constant downpour of rain
and displayed a fistful of orders from
operators to show just what their guests
thought of the Seeburgs for '41.
Following the Los Angeles unveiling a
line showing was held in · San Francisco
and for the week following open houses
were held in both branches so that opera-
tors Inight inspect the new numbers in a
leisurely manner.
Helene Paul, Famous Astrologer
If you were born between February 22
and March 21, you are born with the sun
in Pisces. You are super-sensitive, extremely
sympathetic, idealistic, very emo tional, and
highly impressionable. You are easily af-
fected by the opinions of others. Inclined
to be despondent and over-anxious, you
worry about many things that never hap-
pen. In other words, you are apt to "borrow
trouble." Quick to observe deficiencies in
others - as well as in yourself - you are
modest and timid, hesitating to promote
yourself.

LONG BEACH- It's too early to fall out
of apple trees, so Joe Richarme, popular
head of the Long Beach Coin Machine
Company, waxed the floor, mounted a step-
ladder, lost his balance, fell and broke
his elbow and is now shaking hands with
all visitors with his left hand.
The accident happened as Joe was hang-
ing some new drapes in his beautiful new
showrooms at 1628 East Anaheim.
"Maybe there's a bright side to this acci-
dent," smiled Joe. "With my right hand
and arm in a cast I can't sign checks. How-
ever the doctor knows that too so no doubt
I'll have it back in working order right
soon."

A Piscean husband will dream about do-
ing great things, but will need constant
encouragement from his wife. He can do
his best work in solitude, so if he shuts
himself up in his room alone, it will be
best not to ask him why. Because he is so
sensitive, he will respond easily to his wife's
tears. He is extremely romantic, and can be
very demonstrative if he is sure his wife
will not ridicule or criticize his advances.
In an effort to hide that ever-present feeling
of inadequacy, he is apt to assume an air
of bravado. He will dramatize much that
will have happened during the day, and it
is just as well for his wife not to let him
know that she doubts his word. A Piscean
husband is not a fighter, and while he may
be nervously irritable, he will never directly
cause a quarrel. No matter what sign his
wife is, she will invariably have the upper
hand, and he, like the martyr he thinks he
is, will forgive her.
If you are a Piscean husband, or any
other sign for that matter, and want to
know more about yourself, your prospects,
and your future - how to handle your em-
ployees, when to make important changes
- an analysis of your own personal horo-
scope ( erected for the day, month, and
year of your birth) is recommended. How-
ever, in the meantime, you may be inter-
ested in experimenting with the coupon be-
low - regardless of the month in which you
were born. The analysis you will receive
has been done with unusual care and atten-
tion to detail.
(Would you like to know more about a certain
person•s little idiosyncrasies so that yo1:1 can
handle him more su ccessfully? Many important
problems are so lved through information that
astrological analyses afford. To get such an
analysis, send exact birthday-year, month and
day-plus a stamped sel£•addressed envelope and
10c to cover c l erical costs for each analysis you
want,)

That's What a Wurlitzer 850 Would
Have Cost Six Years Ago
tor y ! R US H
YOUR ORD E R
TO US TODAY !
By no less an authority than the Polaroid
Corporation of Cambridge, Massachusetts,
comes this startling statement.
"The polarizers used in the Peacock
Panel on the Wurlitzer Victory Model 850
would have been worth a king's ransom as
little as six years ago. They are by no
means cheap today, but in 1935, an equiva-
lent area of crystalline polarizers would
have cost over $50,000 !"
Actually, the Wurlitzer Peacock Panel
represents the first large scale commercial
application of a scientific phenomenon
which has been known to scientists for
hundreds of years.
On the scale in which they appear on
the Wurlitzer Victory Model 850, Polaroid
Colors are an entirely new thing in the
world. The public has never seen any colors
like them before except in soap bubbles
or in slicks of oil on water.
They are not the raw colors of the spec-
trum seen when you look into a prism,
nor are they like any colors produced by
pain t or ink. Polaroid Colors belong to an
entirely different and unusual class of colors
known to physicists as the interference
spectrum. They are the only colors pro-
duced commercially without dyes or pig-
ment.
Po laroid Colors are produced in a com-
pletely unique way - by means of what
scien tists call, "An optical sandwich." All
the colors in the Peacock Panel are pro-
duced from ordinary electric light. This
white light shines through a layer of Pola-
roid Film. Two pieces of Polaroid Film are
rotated by a motor to change the colors
simultaneously all through the pattern.
Interesting is the fact, too, that the Pola-
roid Colors do not clash. They appear side
by side without "fighting," and so do not
tire the eye. Just as a good composer
"modulates" from key to key in a popular
song to make it catchy enough to be a
hit, so this Peacock Panel "modulates"
from one color key to another. Before the
eye has a chance to tire of any combination
of colors, another combination takes its
place.
Small wonder that Music Merchants are
loud in their praise of Wurlitzer's far-
sightedness in applying Polaroid Illumina-
tion to their phonograph and in seeing to
it that no other automatic phonograph
manufacturer can apply it to his instru-
ments.
That Wurlitzer paid a " pretty price" for
its use goes wi thout saying, but all things
are relative, and the indications are that
the dividends on the investment, both for
Wurlitzer Music Merchants, are proving

highly satisfactory.
