T H E piano has been prominently dis-
played recently in both daily news-
papers and newspaper weekly maga-
zines. One of the most impressive lay-
outs appeared in the Sunday New York
Times Magazine, Sept. 9th. It shows
several views of the living rooms of
prominent people and designates the
proper place for a grand piano in each
of the rooms, all of which are different
in character. There are also diagrams
of the same. In stories recently there
appeared in the New York Times a pic-
ture of Pfc. Gilbert Winkler of Wash-
ington, N. J. practicing on his piano
for a Music Festival; in the Herald
Tribune of September 2nd Miss Ann
Rouell is shown playing the "Ernie
