tenor, who will celebrate his return to the company
with his own inimitable interpretation of the role of
Almaviva, in this melodious Rossini work.

works of their respective languages, and the discern-
ing music lover, ever on the lookout for appealing
variety, will have cause to rejoice in the most equally
balanced weekly repertoire provided thus far this
season.
Three operas in Italian, two in French and two in
German comprise the week's offerings, and the casts
are truly representative, composed of artists who are
generally recognized as excelling in the particular

NEW IDEAS IN BRAMBACHS.
The Brambach Piano Company, 609-19 West 51st
street, New York, tells in a little folder why its Baby
Grands are different from most others: "A Bram-
bach is not just a large Grand built small. Many new
ideas—new ways of doing things—had to be devel-
oped before it was possible to give the world this
remarkable, small grand piano—the perfect Bram-
bach. Brambach pioneered in these things—and to-
day it is built exactly as a small grand should be
built."
NEW IOWA STORE OPENS.
E. C. VanFossen, the alert dealer of Perry, Iowa,
has opened his new store where he is much better
able to serve the public with Gulbransen pianos.
Hundreds of persons attended the opening and inci-
dentally it was rather a gala occasion in Perry, for
four other stores held special openings also. J. E.
Albineau, Gulbransen salesman in Iowa, was present
for the opening.
The Shiflet Music Store, Middleport, O., F. A.
Shiflet owner, moved to a new location this week.
