DIE WALKURE IN FOURTEEN DISKS.
The Victor Talking Machine Company has made
an interesting venture in recording with its presen-
tation of Wagner's Die Walkure. Through fourteen
disks the listener may hear the gist of the stirring
work. Mechanically, these disks are of the highest
quality. The timbres and resonances of the entire
orchestra and of the individual instruments are start-
lingly real. The singers, too, enjoy a claritj' of regis-
tration that enhances their fine interpretations.

the "Four Sons" and in addif'on by attractive window
displays by the Remick Song Shop, the Seiberling
Lucas Music Co., Mack Music House and the local
Sherman, Clay & Co. store. The supply of the

ing as well as giving a technical description of the
