Acclaimed the pianist of pianists, beloved by an ever-growing public, Bachaus has played the Baldwin exclusively for twelve years, in his home and on ail his American tours. That loveliness and purity of tone which appeals to Bachaus and to every exacting musician is found in all Baldwins; alike in the Concert Grand, in the smaller Grands, in the Uprights. The history of the Baldwin is the history of an ideal. llaiitorin A. M. Hume Co. 196 Boylston Street Boston E. F. ALBEE THEATRE PROVIDENCE FORTY-SEVENTH SEASON 1927-1928 INC.

Prudhomme says it was composed probably in January of that year. Berlioz wrote to Maurice Schlesinger, the publisher, on January 7, 1838: "It is absolutely necessary that I should rest and find a shelter from albums. For a fortnight I have searched vainly for three hours to dream at leisure over the overture of my opera. The inability to obtain them is a torture of which you have no idea, one that is abso- lutely insupportable. I warn you then that if I were forced to live on bread and water up to the moment when my score would be com- pleted, I do not wish to hear anything more about a criticism of any sort. Meyerbeer, Liszt, Chopin, and Kalkbrenner are not in need of my praise." The story has been condemned as weak and foolish. It is also wholly fictitious. It is enough to say that in 1532 Cellini is in Rome, called thither by the Pope. He falls in love with Teresa, the daughter of Balducci, an old man, who favors another suitor, Fieramosca, the Pope's sculptor. Cellini attempts to elope with her, and neglects work "The House of Dependable Values" Better Music in Your Home J Nowhere can you find a better selected I \ stock of musical instruments under one js roof than at MeikleJohn's in Providence PIANOS: The aristocratic !

PLACE THE PLACE—IT'S PLACE'S PLACE" on his Perseus, which he at last finishes in an hour's time, fired by the promise of Cardinal Salviati to reward him with the hand of Teresa. Cellini and his pupils and friends are disgusted early in the opera at a paltry sum of money given to Cellini by the Pope through Ascanio, but only after he had promised solemnly to complete the statue of Perseus. They decided to revenge themselves on the stingy and avari- cious treasurer, Balducci, by impersonating him in the theatre.
