BALDWIN PLEASES TWO STARS
FOUR PREMIER GRANDS
IN VAUDEVILLE NUMBER
Effective Bit of Publicity for Little Instrument to Be
Repeated in the Leading Theaters.
The Premier Grand Piano, manufactured by the
Premier Grand Piano Corporation, New York, is a
feature of a leading high grade musical act touring the
country, and which made a big hit at the Mark
Strand Theater; Broadway and 47th street, New
York, last week.
Four Premier Baby Grands are used in this act,
each being played by a charming young woman in
evening dress. The setting is attractive. Spot lights
are projected on pianos and performers, bringing
them into strong relief against the dark, rich drop
curtain.
This act is on an important national vaudeville
circuit, playing at the leading theaters only, and is,
naturally, of considerable constructive advertising
value to the Premier, as the four Premier Baby
Grands are furnished by local Premier piano mer-
chants in each city where the act is performed, the
country over.
The director of this act is a well known authority
v on music, and selected the Premier after careful tests.
He has accorded this instrument high praise in his
comments on the act and states that the Premier has
had much to do in making such a success of this
unique vaudeville offering.
