A MUSICAL NOVELTY
Ihe latest musical novelty is described by the ' New York World ' !—•' Alon.r the two sides of the store are what look like telephone switchboards. Two telephone receivers hang from hooks, and four numbered knobs wait onlv the magic touch to connect you up with your favorite 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, ol cents. Or for 22 cents you can have an evening of Wagner, and so on."
