Evlyn Howard-Jones
With De-Luxe Rolls
Well-known English Pianist to Record Exclu-
sively for Welte-Mignon (Licensee) Repro-
ducing Piano
Evlyn Howard-Jones, English concert pianist,
is the latest acquisition to the Welte-Mignon
(Licensee) library of reproducing music rolls,
for which he will record exclusively. His first
recordings, rhapsody in B minor of Brahms,
concertos this season. Always at her best as
pianist in ensemble performances, she did full
justice to Beethoven."
The Boston Herald carried this: "Far better
playing followed, a beautifully balanced per-
formance of the introduction to Beethoven's C
minor piano concerto. The Duo-Art piano—
included, if you please,'in the list of 'assisting
artists'!—played the first movement, as recorded
by Miss Leginska. The lady, herself, assuming
the burden of the largo and the rondo, played
them delightfully, indeed."
The Boston Post critic wrote the following:
"Yet another innovation yesterday was the per-
formance through the medium of the Duo-Art
piano of the first movement of Beethoven's C
minor concerto as recorded by Miss Leginska,
the orchestra, of course, supplying the accom-
paniment and Miss Leginska conducting. In
the succeeding movements Miss Leginska
played the piano part in person, conducting
when the music left her free for such exercise."
Aeolian May Musicales
Durability that has
defied the years
An interesting series of four May musicales
has been planned by the retail recital depart-
ment of the Aeolian Co., New York, to take
place on Tuesday afternoons at 4 o'clock in the
Little Salon of the new Aeolian Hall, Fifth ave-
nue at Fifty-fourth street. For the first program
on Tuesday, May 3, Robert Armbruster, pianist
and Duo-Art recording artist, and Walter Mills,
tenor, were the artists. They were assisted by
Rafael Galindo, violinist, at one time concert
master of the Madrid Philharmonic Orchestra.
The second recital will feature the Dagmar Per-
kins group, giving a program of plastic recita-
tions with musical background, as well as sing-

Appears as Assisting Artist With Pianist and
Boston Orchestra, and Wins Critical Acclaim
Musical critics reporting the recent concert in
Boston of the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra,
in which Ethel Leginska appeared as soloist
using her Duo-Art recordings in several num-
bers, departed somewhat from their custom of
avoiding the mention of the name of the repro-
ducing piano used. Three of the leading papers
mentioned the Duo-Art specifically. The Bos-
ton Daily Globe reported the affair as follows:
"The audience was especially interested in the
performance of Beethoven's third piano con-
certo. For the first movement a Duo-Art rec-
ord of Miss Leginska's playing was used. In
the other movements she played the piano part
and conducted as she has done in several other
