Famous Harpist Buys
Lyon & Healy Instrument
Baroness Violet B. Wenner, Internationally
Known Soloist, Pays Tribute to Lyon &
Healy Product
CHICAGO, I I I . , May 19.—A sale which brought to
light a few interesting details regarding the ca-
reer of a most versatile and eminent artist is
one recently made of a I.yon & Healy concert
harp to the Baroness Violet B. Wenner by R. J.
Keenley, manager of the harp department of
Lyon & Healy.
Baroness Wenner is on a tour of this coun-
try and recently stopped in Chicago. The
Baroness has not only studied with some of the
greatest harpists of England, but has also
achieved distinction as a painter, having studied
under the tutelage of Professor Von Angeli,
a very famous painter of European nobility.
Among the many notables she has painted are
the former Kaiser, the late Franz Joseph, and
Marchioness of Cambridge and her children.
Before coming to America she was solo harp-
ist with the Halle Orchestra, under the direc-
tion of Franz Richter, noted for his Wagnerian
Bayreuth Festival performances.
Asked concerning her choice of the Lyon &
Healy concert harp, the Baroness stated: "In
my travels here and abroad I have found that
my harp is subjected not only to much han^
dling, but also to the rigors of violent climatic
changes. One reason, therefore, why I prefer
the Lyon & Healy concert harp is its sturdy
construction and its remarkable ability to resist
the retrograding effects of varying climates."
