THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. —GRAVURE SECTION—DECEMBER 6, 1925. Jweet Genevieve: On January 22nd. 1925, George Cooper, author of this old, loved ballad, visited Aeolian Hall and heard with seemmgly great pleasure a beauti- ful rendering of it by the Duo-Art Reproducing Piano. M. Cooper is m his 87th year, was a close friend and collaborator of Stephen . Foster, and author of the words of a score or more of old-time favorites. O.J.DE MOLL Nemories, So ‘Dear, 0O, GENEVIEVE, SWEET GENEVIEVE, THE DAYS MAY COME, THE DAYS MAY GO, BUT STILL THE HANDS OF MEMORY WEAVE, THE BLISSFUL DREAMS OF LONG AGO. wakened by the magic of Glhe DUO AR Reproducing Piano weet Genevieve was a real character in George Cooper’s life — sweetheart of his school days and early man- o/ hood. Stirred by memories awakened by the playing of the Duo-Art, he wrote “Memories so Blest! For many years a white-haired man has waited till the twilight deep- ens and he shall again see Genevieve.” We, too, all have “blest memories™ that only wait the touch of music, to live again. Over and over, owners of the Duo-Art have stated that could this great instrument play only the old familiar pieces of their youth — the ballads, hymns and operatic favorites, of their early days, it would still be their most priceless possession. And this is not unnatural. For who can picture more deep and heart-felt pleasure, than twilight hours spent inone’s STEINWAY - STECK own comfortable chair, listening to lovely old melodies, sym- pathetically and superbly played? Add to this feature of the Duo-Art, its many other strik- ing capabilities; its marvelous reproductions of the very per- formances of the leading dance pianists and the wonderful dance music that results; and,above all, its power to bring the master concert-pianists right into the home; to give all, the privilege of listening at will to Paderewski, Hofmann, de Pach- mann, Gabrilowitsch, Bauer and practically all the others, whose brilliant playing the public pays millions annually to enjoy. To describe adequately all that the Duo-Art means in the home, would fill volumes. Its enormous and growing popu- larity throughout theentire civilized world givesan indication of what its ownership conveys. world-famous WEBER WHEELOCK - STROUD - AEOLIAN - GRAND and UPRIGHT PIANOS TWELFTH & G STREETS, NW.
