A MUSICAL NOVELTY.
The latest musical novelty is describ* ed by the New York World : — " Along the two sides of the store are what look like telephone switchboards. Two telephone' receivers hang from hooks and four numbered knobs wait only the magic touch to connect you up with your v favourite- selection. All you have to do is 'to drop a penny in the slot, turn the four knobs' until you get the number corresponding ,to the one you have chosen in the catalogue, and away you go. It is the plan to add self-playing records' to their equipment until it will be possible for one to hear an entire grand opera for, say, 37 cents. Or for 22 cents you can have an evening ' of Wagner, and so on."
