“While using your Grand pianos which you so kindly placed at my disposal during my present concert tour, I wish to express to you my very special admiration for your magnificent instruments.

IDA GEER WELLER SINGS FOR RADIO It seems to be the vogue for singers to sing for radio audiences these days, but when Ida Geer Weller did so recently, accompanied at the piano by Edna Rotlncell, she not only delighted, “listeners in" for many miles around, but also teas “a flaming success." By way of explanation: It was decided to take a flashlight of the singer, the result of which appears above. In some way the heavy curtains that make the room sound proof caught fire during the operation and a fete seconds later the entire room and the piano were burned out. Needless to say, it is said that no more flashlights will be taken. Edna Rothwell is at the piano. (Photo by Burpo Company.)
