Sentiment

The Sign of
Sentiment moves the world. It inspires to
noble deeds, compensates for sacrifice, adds
to joy and softens sorrow.
Music is the expression of sentiment.
The tones from the Pathe Lc Phonopraplif

sentiment of the music it plays.
There is no suggestion of the mechanical, no
needle hiss to mar the feeling of the moment.
Hear the Pathe to realize sentiment and
emotion. See the Pathe" and appreciate the
expression that craftsmanship has wrought
into the beautifully designed and finished
cabinets.
Le Chanticleer Rouge, the sign of Pathe,
