Earl Laros Now Recording
for Welte-Mignon (Licensee)
Conductor of Easton Symphony Orchestra and
Well-Known Concert Pianist Signs Exclusive
Recording Contract
Earl Laros, concert pianist and conductor of
the Easton Symphony Orchestra, of Easton,
Pa., has been engaged recently to make exclu-
cess that he was subsequently engaged to play
with the New York Philharmonic, the New
York Symphony, the Cincinnati Symphony and
the Cleveland Orchestra.
Mr. Laros is an exceptional pianist, so much
the master of his technical equipment that the
listener is never conscious of technique. He has
a very large repertory, being familiar with most
standard works since the Sixteenth Century.

The Mark Hopkins Hotel, located on Nob
Hill, San Francisco, has just purchased four
Brambach baby grand pianos for installation
in its de luxe suites, giving it a total of ten
Brambachs used for this purpose. Shortly after
its erection the hotel started this distinctive
practice of affording grand pianos for guests
in its more expensive suites and claims this
feature as an exclusive one in the entire West-
ern territory. The pianos were chosen through
the influence of Harold Pracht, sales manager
of Sherman, Clay & Co., in San Francisco.

Lauter Pianos Used at
Newark Music Festival
Festival Director Writes Enthusiastic Letter to
Lauter Piano Co. Regarding the Qualities of
That Company's Products
The Lauter Piano was as usual featured in
connection with the recent annual musical festi-
val held in Newark, N. J., this being the thir-
teenth event of the kind, with each year show-
ing a marked increase in interest.
Before leaving for his Summer home in
Maine, C. Mortimer Wiske, director of the
Newark Musical Festival Association, wrote to
the Lauter Piano Co. as follows:
"As the Thirteenth Annual Music Festival
draws to a close, I cannot help but express to
you my feelings on a subject that is closely
connected with my work.
"Much has been said and written about the
Lauter piano, and its career has been a long
and honored one, but I cannot refrain from
adding a few words of praise to those that have
gone before.
"During the years of my directorship of the
Newark Music Festival my association with
the Lauter piano has been very close. Par-
ticularly is this true of the past few years.
Scarcely a day has passed that I have not had
occasion to use it, whether in the course of a
rehearsal or in my own research work.
"I have used it in hundreds of voice tests,
for members of our chorus as well as the many
famous artists who have appeared during the
years past. I have always found its tone to
be of unvarying high quality.
"My best wishes for the continued success
of the Lauter piano."
The branch of the Public Music Co. in Bes-
semer, Col., has been enlarged recently to take
care of its increased business in talking ma-
chines and small musical instruments.
