regularly to this master of the piano keyboard. A
radio paper speaking of the Boguslavvski broadcasts
says: "The celebrated pianist has moved his own
special grand piano (Baldwin) to the studios so that
nothing can possibly mar his radio concerts. Bogus-
lawski has studied exhaustively the particular re-
quirements of radio which explains why his rendi-
tion of the master composers' works reproduce so
perfectly over the air."

MANAGER SMITH WRITES A DREAM
STORY
Ernest E. Smith, manager of the Quality Piano
Shoppe, Akron. Ohio, Baldwin representatives at
Akron, relates the story of a dream which he had
about a "trip to Venus," and the Akron Times-Press
finds the story so interesting that it is featured on
the literary page of that paper with portrait of Mr.
Smith who, by the way. is a fine looking gent. The
story bears the caption "Akron Dreamer." Mr. Smith
had been writing a story of a fantastic voyage, the
title of the story being "Auoida." There are 23 chap-
ters, beginning with "The Mystery of the Flying
Comet," and concluding with "Ties That Bind." The
book is now completed, and is to be sent at once to
a publisher.
And Mr. Smith, who now dreams, iu another
fashion, that his book may see print, has already
started on a sequel, containing further adventures on
Venus.
By the way, Mr. Smith's business, the Quality
Piano Shoppe, which was formerly located at Boule-
vard and Florida avenues, has moved to one of the
skyscrapers of Akron, opposite the new Y. M. C. A.
building. This is an excellent location and far more
central than their former store. The new telephone
number of the Quality Music House is Fr. 9213. Mr.
Smith says he is much delighted with his new loca-
tion and adds that "Baldwin has a world of friends
in this part of the country and I think we are in a
position to get the better part of the piano business
in Akron."
A NEW SONG TO MOTHER
From Clara Estabrook, Egbert, Wyoming, who is
at the present time her own publisher. Presto-Times
is in receipt of a copy of bur latest "song hit," a
pleasing composition in three-quarter time entitled,
"Dreams of Yesterday." It is a "song to mother"
and will fill admirably the wants of such a piece and
for occasions when such is appropriate. An adver-
tisement of this song is found in another column of
this issue of Presto-Times.
