elusive piano act from the vaudeville stage was been secretary of the Capehart Automatic
broadcast over the coast to coast network of
rhonograph Corp., Hammond, Ind., has been
the National Broadcasting Co. during the Ra-
dio-Keith-Orpheum hour, from 11 to 12 p. m. on
Tuesday evening, May 21. Jerry and her four
Brambach baby grand pianos were selected by
the Radio-Keith-Orphcum officials to partici-
pate in this hour. Jerry on her Brambach baby
grands played three selections over the radio.
In the second number, one of the vocalists sang
in accompaniment with the pianos. Many Bram-
bach dealers who knew of this broadcast in
advance took advantage of the fact to advertise
in their local papers, advising their readers of
the treat in store for them. Jerry has just con-
cluded a nation-wide tour, during which Bram-
bach dealers in every city visited by this troupe
have had the pleasure of having this act give
a performance in their establishments to which
the public was invited.
