Maier & Pattison audiences often express wonderment that two musicians with such contrasting methods can get effects so marvelously unified that it is often hard to tell which one is carrying the melody. Both excellent musicians, Pianist Maier is the better showman. He is more given to swaying over the keyboard, to making his crescendoes look mighty as well as sounding so. He is not above making occasional impromptu speeches or working for a laugh as he did last week with the titivating run in Arensky's Scherzo.

Thus the most idle vagaries, nuclei for many a major opus, may be preserved. Added feature is a portable keyboard superimposed on the piano keyboard (baby grand or upright) which mechanically and instantaneously transposes music into any desired key. Composing and transposing devices may be used together. A great boon should "Music Writer" be to the cinema industry. Heretofore composition for synchronized cinema has been a labor of weeks. With...
