ment of the Cleveland branch of the Starr Piano

tra of ninety-six pieces assisted. The hall was packed
to the doors and hundreds were turned away. Ad-
mission was by invitation only. One of the features
of the evening was the playing, by Beryl Rubinstein,
of Liszt's Hungarian Fantasie, alternating with the
Angelus reproducing piano.
Mr. Houseman, of the Hallett & Davis Co., and
James Mango, of the same company, have been in
Cleveland assisting Muelhauser Bros, in putting on
the afternoon recitals, at their rooms, by Herma
Menth, Viennesse pianist, which are proving very
popular. They also assisted at the concert at the
Masonic Auditorium.
A $2,500,000 building for the purposes of a musical
center is to be started on Euclid avenue within the
next few weeks. It will be between twelve and four-
teen stories high and devoted to studios, dining halls,
auditorium and a hotel for the use in the profession.
The building will be located at 2508 Euclid avenue
and is fully financed. It will be at the second building
of the kind to be erected in Cleveland; Carnegie Hall,
on Huron Road, which is also intended for studios
and auditorium, is just about completed.
PRESENTING THE PROOF.
As an evidence of the efficiency of advertising the
Beasley Music Company, Texarcana, Tex., last week
ran a campaign upon Victrolas and used pianos, or-
ganizing a Victrola club, selling these musical instru-
ments upon the installment plan. George Beasley,
advertising and sales manager of this concern, is
authority for the statement that the company sold 75
Victrolas upon the strength of this campaign, 20 of
these deals being closed on the last day of the sale.
"Does advertising pay?" inquires the Press of Tex-
arcana, commenting on the special sale. "Ask Messrs.
Beasley, of the Beasley Music Company, who are
among the largest advertisers in Texarkana. George
Beasley is president of the Texarkana Ad Club, and
a close student of advertising methods."

ness Women's Club. The importance of the city as
