parts of the country, there is a crying need for

Piano Club to Hold
Beefsteak December 4
Dinner Will Be at Club Rooms, 137th Street
and Third Avenue, New York
The annual beefsteak dinner and entertain-
ment of the Piano Club of New York will take
place this year on Saturday evening, December
4, at the Piano Club rooms, 137th street and
Third avenue. According to an announcement
distributed this week by the committee, of
which Albert Behning is chairman, there will be
a real old-fashioned party, plenty of steaks and
refreshments and a rattling good entertainment.
The tickets are limited to 150, first come first
served. The price is $6.50 per person, and they
can be secured from any member of the com-
mittee, which is composed of A. W. Weiner,
Jacob Schorsch, W. G. Schaff, R. H. Schroeder
and O. M. Heinzman. The big feast will start at
7 p. m.
Brunswick Nine Months
Net profit of the Brunswick-Balke-Collender
Co., for nine months ending September 30, 1926,
was approximately $1,465,000 after depreciation
and Federal taxes, equivalent after allowing for
dividend requirements on 7 per cent preferred
stock to $2.45 a share earned on 500,000 no par
shares of common stock. This compares with
loss of about $75,000 in the first nine months
of 1925. Sales for the nine months of this year
are about 25 per cent ahead of last year, while
those for September show an increase of over
40 per cent.
the educational department of the Aeolian Co.,
New York, has been responsible for the installa-
tion of the Duo-Art in Denver's leading schools
and high schools. Outstanding among recent
achievements is the installation of three Weber
Duo-Art grands in the three beautiful Junior
High Schools of Denver. Two Steinway Duo-
Art grands have been added to the equipment
of two other large high schools. These instru-
ments are being used in the auditoriums of the
various schools where they form a valuable
aid, among other things, in music appreciation
and music history courses because of the great
library of recordings from which the teacher
may draw illustrative material.
Mrs. Reynolds and the Aeolian educational
department have had the able support in their
this instrument, with its many-sided uses, so
adaptable to service in the school.
John Kendel, director of music in the Den-
ver schools, has welcomed this splendid work in
educational institutions. Mr. Kendel is prob-
ably one of the most progressive directors of
school music in the United States, and he views
the entire project of Duo-Arts in the schools
with the utmost sympathy. With the Denver
arrangement the student can study the forms
and development of music from pre-Bach days
to the present; the development of harmony
can be illustrated, and, by playing the inter-
pretations of the same compositions by many
great artists, the student is afforded the op-
portunity of making comparisons.
New Piano Department to
Be Opened in Canton, O.
No announcement has been made as to what
make pianos will be carried. It is also expected
that talking machines will be added later. The
department will again be located on the fourth
floor of the store.
