PIANOS
Our new designs are models of artistic piano
construction. More than fifty designs, a
style for every need at a price for every purse
During the late war, after our country had joined
in it, the custom of rising whenever the national song
was played became the custom—and a good one
for war time. Is it a custom really essential to the
patriotic instinct in times of peace? Does it prove
anything? The following from O. C. Maclntyre's
New York letters seems to possess more than a
grain of sense—and a warning:
A discussion of interest is taking place in Man-
hattan as to whether or not theater audiences should
arise at the rather far-fetched use of the national
anthem. One incident where "The Star-Spangled
Banner" is played took place in history seven years
before the anthem was written. Audiences, it ap-
pears, are objecting to the tawdry appeal to this sort
of sentimentality. Most of them believe that only
where the anthem is played by a military band in
proper settings should the audience arise. At a
Broadway playhouse recently the situation was err.r
phasized when a young man down front failed to
stand as the tune was played. Several around him
said harsh things and one prominent button manu-
facturer applied an opprobrious epithet. It devel-
oped after the curtain had gone down that the young
man had to be carried to a waiting automobile.
Shrapnel had injured his spine and paralyzed his
limbs during the recent war.
