Show THE PRESS-BULLETI- - Wanamaker Ad Sums Up Music's Case "Editorial In Advertisement Of Phila-delphia Piano Department Of John Wanamaker Brilliantly Pleads The Cause Of Music. i A recent Wanamaker "editorial" Is reprinted here as constituting one of the best products of the kind ever gotten out for the benefit of the Wanamaker piano departments, and, indeed, one of the beet pleas for mu-sic to appear recently in any newspa-per. .While It is long, it is worth read-ing throughout. A part of the ad, however, is left out here because of reasons of space. As It appeared in a Philadelphia newspaper, the adver-tisement occupied half a page, full length. Follows here the Wanamaker appeal: Soft Lamplight Glowing (Bright Fire-light (Leaping: Sweet Music Playing Folks 'Dropping in to Hear the New (Piano-Win- ter's Not So Bad After All! "And the nights shall be filled with music; And the cares that infest the day Shall fold their tents, like the Arabs, And aa silently steal away." . Longfellow. Of course there are folks who do not like music. But who knows what kind of music bo called, they have been used to? A little girl was taken to hear a. gr.jat concert for the first time In her life. The opening number was a per-formance by a world famous virtuoso upon the violin. As the wonderful notes rose thrill-ing upon the air, "sweet as first love, nnd wild with all regret." they pulled upon something within cea hpr ch'ld-ls- h heart and she gasped to her mo-ther: "Why can they play on them like tat? I thought they could only fid-din!- " To produce sweet music, new or old, it's necessary to have a sweet toned Dlano. ?w or old. Those restless movements, and vig-orous Yooal outbreaks, may signify with him no more than the pleasure-fu- l pain with which you listen while Josef Hoffman, by request, interprets the solemn splendors of Chopin's Fu-neral March, or the nappy wetting ot lovers eyes when someone stands up and singa, "(Believe Me, If All Those Endearing Young Charms." Music dews things that nothing else can do. On one of the occasions, in the tumultuous days of the Commune in Paris, when the French soldiers of the government forces and the French soldiers of the Commune were ad-vancing upon each other in fierce earnest, each' ready to spring at a brother's throat, an officer of the Commune troops called out to his band to play the "(Marseillaise." The opposing ranks faltered broke turned about, flatly refusing to make the charge. They would fight flesh and blood, face flashing steel or cannon, but before the National An-them of France they lowered the col ors of France. It is said of a certain Highland con tingent in the famous battle of Fon-teno-that was inglorlously routed through the over ieal of its pipers, who, excited by the conflict, threw away their pipes and rushed in with their claymores. The soldiers, missing the rallying music behind them, were confused, became scattered and stricken With a panic, useless to their commander. Indeed, for instances of the inspir-ing influence of music In war it isn't necessary to go back into past history. We've plenty of history making on our hands right now, in which music making plays its important part from the Community sfng'ng which keeps up our hearts over hero, td the swing-ing measures and catchy lilts of the war songs that the bands play and the boYB sine over thnro If originally it was a sweet toned piano of high grade, coming from a house of reputation )n manufacturing (or selling) pianos, It will grow old slowly and gracefully. Keep it in per-fect tune, of course. If It never was a sweet piano It never will be one. Face that fact squarely, unk it, to salvage its House-room- , whether you are or are not go-ing to replace it. For a voiceless piano standing around is like Dolly's head with the eyes knocked out a distressing sight. Once in a while one hears people say of a worn out piano: "Oh. yes. it's an old tin pan. but J love music so much that any kind of a tune pleases mo." Don't you believe them.tSuch people may enjoy any kind of noise better than their own thoughts, but that's not passion for music. ' The people with a passion for music have good pianos in their homes. If they have to save and scrape for six months a year or longer than a year; if they have to. lop desserts off lunches, walk to business Instead of riding (to the benent of their health), wear old clothes, and swear off from movies, they get together the money for the initial purchase and further payments upon an instrument capable of satisfying that passion. If they then suddenly decide all honor to those who di to take the money thus saved and buy Liberty Bonds Instead of a piano, it's no later than the next day before they start aga'n to save again for both Liberty Bonds and a piano. All honor to them for that, too. We were all meant and made to have music as we were meant and made to demand food. 'Even below the grade if the human part of creation, this response to mu-sic appears. ' . Even the stealthy snake trembles with strange Joy, and forhe moment is rendered powerless for evil, by a few shrill notes in monotonous inter pinv. muln from the trumpery reed pipe played by a frail shred of human-ity whom he could sting to death in an Instant but doesn't. The tiny song bird manifests a pleasure at least equal to his hearer's in outpouring "the little golden rap-tures of his soul." That very emotion which your dog manifests when you play muslo in his hearing, means that the melody strikes some mysterious depths in his doggish being, and why jump to the conclusion that they're depths of dis-comfort? 'But the home piano will sound best of all In the ears of those boys when they come marching back. It ought to be ready for them" Who knows hew soon they will be It ready? ought now to be diffusing cheer and gladness in hope, even solace in sorrow, to the "over heres" while we are waiting for the "over theres." Particularly to the children. 'Most particularly to the elders whose empty homes are lonesome for the boys maybe for the girls. Possibly "the one that played" is married, and the perfectly good piano is now stand-ing silent in a corner. Every ruch inefficient piano should be removed and tendered in part pay. ment for a reproducing piano, with all ' Its glorious possibilities, and thus two households will be made happy and full of music, where not even one was bo before. Pianos are growing harder to get. Despite this fact we are equipped to take care of our many customers with a complete line of pianos, player pi- - anos and reproducing pianos, In a choice of over fifty styles. In reproducing pianos we have both the electric and the foot pump move-ment. You may live scores of miles dis-tant from the great cities in which Godowsky or Ornstcin appears in con-cert or opera, and you may be per-sonally unable to play one note, but you do not starve for music on that account. You sit at your own hearth fire and you hear Godowsky render Chopin's "iBallado in A Flat." or listen to Dvorak's Humoresque" rippling forth from the fingers of Ornstein, or to that old favorite we Just mentioned 'Believe Me, Jf all Those Endearing Young Charms," interpreted by Him-melreic- Our ample and varied stock of music rolls, suited to all 88 note play- er pianos,- - covers the entire range of musical production, from the latest and most rollicking syncopated piece to the serious works of great musical masters, both old and new. As an example: "Kol Nidrei," an anthem of the Jewish Church, widely known among musicians for its beau-ty and Its great antiquity, has Just become obtainable in roll form,. In an arrangement by Max Bruch, aa played by Clarence Adler. The player piano Is doing wonder-ful things, not only for the homes where there would otherwise be no good music, but in preserving for posterity the music of the distinguish-- , ed present day artists.

They want the home newspaper. Publishers are prevented " from sending their papers free to anyone, even boys in the service. Consequently a national movement has been started by Col. William Boyce Thompson of New York, who is acting as President of the Home Paper Service of h America to give the boys what they are calling for. Every community is joining the movement. Let us see that our boys are not forgotten. Send to the publisher of this newspaper whatever amount of money you can 5 cents or $50.00. We will publish a list each week of those contributing, and the amounts contributed. Every cent received will be used to send this paper to our boys at the front If at the end of the war, there is any surplus, it will be turned over to the local Red Cross Committee. There is no profit in this to the publisher even in normal times, subscriptions are not sold at a profit. With war prices prevailing, and the high rate of postage on papers sent to France, our cost will scarcely be covered by our full subscription price.

SENATOR KING URGES PEOPLE TO SUPPORT WAR WORK CAMPAIGN At the suggestion and request of President Wilson, who is Commander In Chief of the Army and Naval For-ces of our country, the different Christian and charitable organizations which have been providing for the comfort and care of men in the ser-vice, have united iu their campaign to raise funds for the support of this beneficient work. These organizations are the Young Men's Christian Association, Knights of Columbus, the Young Men's He-brew Association, and the Salvation Army. The organizations named are doing a work for the physical comfort, sound morals, and spiritual welfare of our soldiers and sailors, the value of which cannot be estimated in money. Their work is indeed indispensable and is war work of the highest neces-sity. These organizations are worthy of the hearty good will and support of all our people. The State of Utah has been proud to contribute more than Its full quota of men to the Army and Navy, and more than its full quo-ta of Liberty Bonds, and we should now with equal good will, contribute at leait the full quota of funds for the support of this necessary welfare work in the Army and Navy.
