The Shah of Persia has also recently become the owner of a Pianola. Her Grace the ingham Her Grace the His Grace the Duke Earl of Harewood Earl of Egerton Lord Curzon, GovernorMarq. of Anglesey General of India, is the owner of both an Acolian and a Pianola, and many of the Indian princes and rajahs have Countess of Orford become purchasers of one of these instruments.

In last month's issue of this magazine the unanimous commendation of these great musicians was commented upon, but it may interest some to learn that Rosenthal and Pugno, when they heard the Horace Disston Dr. Chas. McBurney Heinrich Conried Mrs. Fred. L. Ames Eugene V. Thayer W. W. Frazier J. M. Masury told the name of the great virtuoso. Equally interesting is the fact that another of the above pianists played in New York last winter in concert a very difficult number which he had learned from playing it with the Pianola. He had never seen the score. Still another pianist selects the compositions for his repertory by first playing them with the Pianola.
