4 NOTED BASS SOLOIST 111 RECITAL HERE Herbert Witherspoon, of Metro politan Opera Co., Artist For Wednesday Club HERBERT WITHERSPOON The Wltherspoon-Sassoll concert, Monday evening, February 15, in Fahnestock Hall, Is creating a great deal of Interest among members of the Wednesday Club. To have two such artists of ability and renown ap pear in one evening is a rare treat to be taken advantage of by the musical public. Herbert Witherspoon, basso, is in a class by himself. It matters not whether he is portraying a kihg of the realm or a country bumpkin, he reveals his power to wonderful advan tage. The nobility of his voice and the dignity of the man helps to en hance the importance of any impor tance. Several years ago when the Metro politan director decided to revive Web er's romantic opera, "Der Frelschutz," Wltherspoon was offered the leading part of Caspar. Instead of being eager to do it, the basso begged to be al lowed to sing the part of the hermit, usually considered a minor role, which privilege was reluctantly granted. The critics lauded his work, which, by his personality and beautiful voice, had lifted the part to an eminent place. Artistic harp playing. Is at a pre mium and Mile. Sassoli with her rare musical insight and delicacy of touch and technique that is the envy of many harpists is marvelous in her unique art. Miss Romaine Brown, 1324 Derry street, will entertain a number of her friends to-night at a Valentine party.

Second St. Piano Appearance Is Not Quality Of course, there is no objection to own ing a piano that is beautiful. In fact it is an added advantage. But when you. look at a beautiful piano with the intention of buying; it is a migh ty good safeguard to know what is inside. For that is where piano quality is found. Quality, by which is meant tone production and ability to withstand strain, is the essence of a piano. It is what makes the instrument desirable or undesirable. When you are thinking of piano purchase, we invite you to look at the Steinway, the Mehlin and the C. M. Sigler. They are three pianos represented exclusively in Central Pennsylvania by this house and with each one is given the double guarantee of manufacturer and merchant. We invite your inspection. ( C. AV.
