The new upright model, "Treasure Chest of Music,"
is the subject of special and very attractive advertis-
ing just now in New York. Its tones are referred to
as "mellow as moonlight"—an upright piano occupy-
ing minimum space, that plays electrically "Not at
$2,000—just $995. One hundred dollars delivers this
instrument to your home; balance, small monthly
payments."

FROM THE BIGGEST
ORCHESTRION
Great Violinist Passes Away.
Abraham W. Lillienthal, violinist, vice-presilent of
the Bohemians, died Thursday, March 15, at his resi-
dence, 634 West 136th street, New York, at the age
of 69 years. He served many years with the Phil-
harmonic Orchestra some time ago.
President of Cluett & Son Dies.
The newspapers of New York this week told of the
death at his home in Round Lake, N. Y., of Charles
Frederick Cluett, aged 61 years, president of Cluett
& Son, piano and organ manufacturers of Troy and
Albany. Death was clue to pneumonia. Mr. Cluett's
brothers, George B. and J. W. A. Cluett, organized
the shirt and collar manufacturing firm of Cluett, Pea-
body & Company, of Troy, N. Y. The piano man
had been married three times, his last wife, who sur-
vives, being Mrs. Mae V. Madigan Cluett, his former
secretary.
C. L. Dennis' Changed Activities.
C. L. Dennis, who some months ago represented
Otto Miessner in the Melody Way promotion, having
as his territory, New Jersey, New York and New
England, and four others who worked for Mr. Miess-
ner at that time are no longer connected with him,
but Mr. Miessner is still going strong, it is under-
stood—just as enthusiastic as ever and just as suc-
cessful in promoting his Melody Way, as far as his
personal efforts are concerned. Mr. Dennis is now
associated with a radio publication and at present is
organizing in a promotional way a good-sized cor-
poration, and after the papers have been filed at
Albany he may have an announcement to make to his
friends in the trade and others.

One of the most serious phases of post-war Ger-
many, the restlessness of its youth and the desire for
freedom from thes hackles of age, is treated in "Pri-
manerliebe," which will have its premiere at the Chi-
cago Playhouse, 410 South Michigan avenue Chicago,
during the week beginning Sunday, March 25. "Pri-
manerliebe" is a study in adolescence. Objectively,
it is the story of a young student, rebelling against
the rigid discipline and heartless practicality of his
elders. Inherently, however, it is a drama typical of
the new youth of Germany and, after a fashion, of
America also. On the same program with "Primaner-
liebe" the Playhouse will present Charlie Chaplin in
"The Immigrant," and "The Head Hunters of Equa-
dor," an adventure film.
