THE
Grainger Gives Excellent
Recital at Aeolian Hall
Duo-Art Piano Featured to Great Advantage in
a Well Selected Program—Capacity Audience
Expresses Great Enthusiasm
At Aeolian Hall, New York, on Thursday
afternoon, January 31, Percy Grainger, promi-
nent composer-pianist, appeared in a most in-
teresting recital with the Duo-Art piano before
an audience that filled the hall to capacity.
The feature of his program was the Eastern
intermezzo for four hands on two pianos, which
he presented for the first time in New York,
playing the first piano part himself, while the
Duo-Art reproduced his own playing of the
second part.
Another particularly interesting feature was
the Zanzibar Boat Song for six hands at one
piano, arranged by Grainger and played at the
concert for the first time. In this number

REVIEW
Grainger played one part while the Duo-Art
reproduced his playing of the two other parts.
The number is based on a poem from Kipling's
"Plain Tales From the Hills."
A Grainger program would not be complete
without his "Turkey in the Straw" and "Coun-
try Gardens," the English Morris Dance, and
these numbers were played in his Thursday re-
cital.
The audience appeared particularly interested
in the performance of the Duo-Art piano in the
two and three part numbers and did not hesitate
to voice its enthusiasm both for that instrument
and for the pianist himself.

Baldwin Grand Finds a
Place in White House
Mrs. Calvin Coolidge Selects Baldwin Grand for
Personal Use of Herself and Family—Instru-
ment Placed in Lincoln Room
CINCINNATI, ()., February 4.—The Baldwin
1 iano Co. announced at its executive offices in
t u is city during the past week that Mrs. Calvin
C oolidge, the "First Lady of the Land," had
selected a Baldwin piano for the personal use
of her family and that the new instrument had
already been delivered to the White House,
where it has been placed in the Lincoln room.
ZANESVILLE, O., February 4.—13. G. Burner,
senior member of the music house of Burner
& Stickrath, on North Fifth street, has recently
purchased the full interest in the concern of his
partner, Paul Stickrath. Mr. Burrier is plan-
ning a number of improvements.

Reproducer Grand
Piano Action
with
Lost Motion Attachment
provides the dealer, who handles a reproducing piano in
which it is installed, with extremely valuable talking
points. Is growing steadily on account of the satisfac-
tion it has given during the last two years in many of the
highest grade reproducing pianos in the country.
For instance, it eliminates all lost motion between the
action and mechanism, permits soft pedal movement
adjustment to the lightest pneumatic and does away
with key shifting and key dipping entirely.
Baldwin Grand for White House
This is the room that is now occupied by the
two Coolidge boys when they are home from
school and is the room that has the same furni-
ture that was used by Abraham Lincoln during
the trying days when he was in the presidential
chair.
The Baldwin grand piano will be a part of
the family circle where the Coolidge family can
retreat for rest and enjoyment of its home life.
Mrs. Coolidge is a good musician. The two
-boys are also musically inclined. One of them
plays the banjo while the other prefers the
ukulele. When the two boys came home for
the Christinas holidays there were many con-
certs impromptu in nature that were arranged
by Mrs. Coolidge.
This is not the first Baldwin piano that has
been in the White House. Mrs. Taft had an
especially designed Baldwin which she used in
the Green Room. Mrs. Harding also had one,
but she preferred that it be in the library of
the living quarters on the second floor. Mrs.
Coolidge's piano, in size and style, is like that
of Mrs. Harding's. The only difference is that
Mrs. Coolidge has an instrument of dull brown
mahogany finish, while Mrs. Harding had an
instrument of red mahogany.
When the new Baldwin grand was placed in
the White House Mrs. Coolidge said that she
hoped some day to be able to visit the Baldwin
factories in Cincinnati.
