PUPPET OPERA TROUPE WILL TOUR
SEVENTEEN PRINCIPAL CITIES
Grand opera will be brought within eye and pocket reach
of the mass American public for the first time in miniature
and recorded form when the Victor Puppet Opera troupe,
under the direction of Ernest Wolff, inaugurates a tour of
the country's leading cities with a four-week stay at the Mid-
town Hall in New York beginning- November 20.
The entire presentation, operated on a 48 square foot stage,
is modeled after the Metropolitan Opera to one-fifth scale.
More than 200 singing and dancing puppets are employed in
the repertory of the "world's most unusual opera company."
Standard RCA Victor Musical Masterpiece recordings are
used throughout the entire repertory, a complete puppet or-
chestra playing in the pit while the movements of the entire
company are synchronized with the recordings.
TWO NEW TONKBENCH STYLES
and there are many more designed to match every new
piano model on the market. Whatever your piano bench re-
quirements, there is a seat in the Tonkbench line which an-
swers your need exactly. If ever in doubt, write to us and
we will tell you which of the 101 Tonkbench models "fills the
bill."
Tonkabinets for phonograph records are a source of plus profit
for your record department, for they sell on sight to record
buyers. The chairside style illustrated at the right is one of
many Tonkabinet models. Resides providing storage for 96
records in albums, it is an attractive piece of furniture of genu-
ine walnut. Front of cabinet shown as drawers is a door
hinged at the bottom. Tonkabinet literature will be mailed to
vou free upon request.

Steinway «X: Sons take pleasure in an-
nouncing the new Vertical 40, one of
the most beautiful instruments ever to
come from the hands of Steinway crafts-
men.
In all respects this is a new piano. The
size is new, a total height of only 40
inches. . . .The design is new. . . .And the
price is new — never before has it been
possible to buy a Steinway for so little.
But the quality is not new. Steinway
standards for materials . . . Steinway
lone . . . Steinway responsiveness . . .
Steinway craftsmanship . . . these have
not changed. The new Steinway, in our
sincere opinion, is the finest piano obtain-
able . . . except for a Steinway Grand.
Steinway
dealers anticipate one of
the busiest seasons in recent history as
a result of this new piano.
