Automatic Age

A
u t o m a t ic
muse, both as to tone and to volume.
The music is clear— brilliant— loud.
It has brought forth enthusiastic
comments from all sides. A fter hear­
ing this instrument, Paul R. Mat­
thew, widely-known organist o f the
Tabernacle Presbyterian Church, o f
Indianapolis, expressed himself as
“ amazed at the satisfying tonal re­
production o f the Electramuse.” An­
other noted music critic, Elmer A n ­
drew Steffen, Chairman o f the Dio­
cesan Committee o f the Pontifical In­
stitute o f Sacred Music, Rome, says,
“ Amazed at the resonance and clar­
ity. F or purity o f tone the Electra­
muse surpasses anything I have ever
heard in the way o f automatic pho­
nograph reproduction.”
The Electramuse plays the best
and finest records perfectly. The
latest dance music refreshed with
beguiling syncopation— the plaintive
wail o f the “ blues” singers— the
matchless arias o f the opera. All are
reproduced with remarkable truth
and clarity.
There are two models o f the E lec­
tramuse, the Grand fo r average size
places and the Super-Tone, which is
electrically
amplified,
fo r
larger
places where greater volume is de­
sired. Both models are finished in
soft antique polychrome tones.
A
handsome art panel with illuminated
scene decorates the top o f the instru­
ment. It occupies small floor space
and is suitable for the largest or
smallest business. The illustration
gives a good idea o f the size and ap­
pearance o f this new instrument.
