Your child may be musically inclined; may even
have really good musical talent—but this taste for
music has not been discovered or cultivated because
there has not been a piano in the home. Now such a
child can have free instruction which will bring out
hidden musical talent and make happier the child and

BALDWIN PIANOS USED BY
RAVINIA OPERA ARTISTS
Present Season at Chicago Suburb at Its Height
Adds Distinction to Famous Instrument.
The thirteenth annual season of Ravinia Opera
and Concerts is in full swing.
Ravinia has always occupied a unique position in
the field of opera, for amidst beautiful surroundings
on the shore of Lake Michigan, twenty-odd miles
north of Chicago, there has been maintained year
after year, a season of Grand Opera during the sum-
mer months which in every respect reaches the pin-
nacle of operatic art. Its achievements have been
so remarkable that it has attracted the attention of
the entire music world and pilgrims imbued with the
spirit of music have nocked to this unique opera
house from every part of Europe and America.
During the present season are to be heard a most
brilliant array of artists from the grand opera houses
of the world, and the pianos used by these artists are
the B'aldwin, which has been selected as the official
piano.
