Miss Niel- , sen's voice in the soiohas been sung ( all around the world and has delighted hundreds of thousands of talking ma chine owners in every country under!, the sun. It is one of the most widely sold records ever turned out, and it is in response to many rei|nests from , Harrisburg people that the prima donna will render it next Monday evening. , There is a big demand for seats for the Neiisen-Ganz concert, and quite as much interest is being manifested in Mr. Ganz as in Miss Neilsen's part of the program. Ganz is one of the most wonderful piano players in the world. Not only is his playing techni cally of the highest order but he uses the piano like many a soloist docs the violin. He finds therein not merely an instrument for the recording of skill ful performance, but for the expres sion of the musical genius of all the great composers. Harmony and mel ody are quite as much to him as cor rect performance. For this reason ho is as popular with the rrian or woman who loves good music for itself and not for mere technical skill, ns he is with the musically trained. Not improp erly has he bpen termed: "The IMan ist with a Message." § Bright and Smiling Every Morning Drink PEPSIMINT Pcpsimlnt is a mild, efficient remedy for indigestion and all its bad effects.
