XOVEL ACT FEATURES GRAND.
The Premier Grand Piano Corporation, New York,
has received an unusually interesting and significant
report concerning the activities of America's Premier
Piano Quartette, the musical act on the Keith and
Orpheum circuits. This act features four white
Premier Baby Grand pianos, played by four beautiful
young women of real musical ability, and has toured
practically all cities of large and small size in the
eastern half of the United States, since September,
last year.
The latest itinerary of this tine feature act involves
the beginning of a transcontinental trip which will
take from now until June, 1926, for its completion.
This trip will include such important cities as Chi-
cago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Milwaukee, Minneapo-
lis, Winnipeg, Calgary, Victoria, B. C, Seattle,
Portland, San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles, De-
troit, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Pittsburgh,
Washington, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Brooklyn, Bos-
ton, and South Bend, Ind.
Dealers have been quick to capitalize on this novel
act wherever it has appeared, in many cases featuring
special window displays, inserting special newspaper
copy and identifying the Premier Baby Grand in their
window as the same instrument which is creating
such interest in the leading local theater.

Oregon State Fair Made Feature of Concerts in
Which Ampico Was Demonstrated.
The G. F. Johnson Piano Co. of Portland, Ore.,
for the seventh consecutive year exhibited its line of
musical instruments at the Oregon State Fair held
at Salem, Oregon, the week of October 5. The
booth this year was located in the Textile and Art
Building and had a beautiful setting.
Delightful concerts were given during the week,
both afternoon and evening, featuring the Chick-
ering Ampico, which occupied the center of the
booth on a raised platform, surrounded by a Marshall
& Wendell Ampico upright, a Chickering concert
grand, a Cheney phonograph and a Radiola. Assist-
ing artists for the concerts were Eva Richards, mezzo
soprano; Sylvia Weinstein Margulis,, violinist, and
Mary Bullock, pianist, all prominent Portland musi-
cians.
The concerts were held every hour, the pianist
playing duets with the Ampico, to the wonderment
of many of her hearers, and the Ampico used as the
accompanist of the violinist. The front of the Mar-
shall & Wendell Ampico was removed, showing the
inner workings of the instrument, and this was played
during the intervals of the concerts.
