The Most Sensational Collection
of P I A N O S O L O S Ever Con-
tained in One Catalog
Here is the most unusual and interesting
series of piano solos ever conceived. New
rhythms and novel and tricky effects for
the pianist who desires to demonstrate his
versatility are contained in these solos, for
which pianists all over the country are
clamoring. Pianists playing all kinds of en-
gagements, and students- and instructors are
buying the entire catalog, which will be
standard for years to come. The dealer who
has not as yet taken advantage of this excel-
lent means of added profits should do so
immediately.

In speaking of "The World is Waiting for
the Sunrise," the Review stated: "It is one of
those rare compositions of popular songs that
have an instant and gripping appeal. It is
typically American, one of those songs that
make us proud of the fact that, although Eu-
rope has held the fort in classical compositions,
our popular songs are still the only music of
its kind in the world." Another number men-
tioned in the same article was "Smile Through
Your Tears."
