Pathe
1 Phonographs
Conceived in Paris decades
ago and delicately perfected'
as time went on, Pathc music
has long enjoyed the approval of
our musically fastidious allies.
Ears that would be distraught
by the blair of thcV'talking ma
chines" have welcomed the
jeweled music of Pathe.
It is the romantic belief of poets that
In their encircling, through space the
Btars made musical tholr pHosago. The
"music of the spheres" may be on a grander bcale but It is not more bo.
witching than the music of that tiny sapphire ball whliih glides around
its appointed orbit on a Pathe Record.
In contemplating tho more sophisticated
mechanism of Pathe one should remember
that thero are twoways of considering re
corded music Ono is that it is u sort of
science. The other that It Is Art.
The pseudo-scicutlbt uses points, noodles,
which rip sound out of the record. Tho
Artist Is gontlei; ho uses a porfoctly rounded
saphlro which by mere touch releases music
Music must be wooed, not gougod; and wo
know that this matter may be safely left to
tho vordlct of your ears once you hear Patho
