RULES OF 'THE STUDIO' INTERNATIONAL PRIZE COMPETITIONS. (1) All purchasers of THE STUDIO are eligible to compete. (2) Designs and Compositions must be original and not traceable to any existing pattern. New ideas and new treatment, combined with workable detail and arrangement, will be the features considered by the judges. (3) Drawings, &c., submitted for competition must be legibly signed with pseudonym only, and must be accompanied by the Coupon given below, duly filled in and signed. Such coupon must be enclosed in a sealed envelope, on the outside of which is written only the pseudonym of the competitor. This envelope will not be opened until after the awards have been made. (4) The Proprietor of THE STUDIO reserves to himself the right of withholding all or any of the prizes if the rules of the Competition have not been complied with, or if in the opinion of the judges the drawings, &c., are of insufficient merit. He also reserves to himself the right to reproduce in THE STUDIO, or any Extra Number of it, at such a time as he thinks fit, any of the drawings, designs, photographs and other works submitted. Subject to this, the copyright in such drawings, &c., belongs (unless otherwise stated or implied in the announcement) to the competitors sending them, and they are free to dispose of them as they like. (5) All Drawings, &c., including those to which prizes have been awarded (unless otherwise stated), will be returned to Competitors at their own risk as soon as possible after publication of the awards, provided sufficient stamps are sent in the envelope containing the coupon to cover postage or carriage and packing—the minimum in all cases being sixpence. Colonial and foreign stamps will be accepted. (6) All drawings, prints, &c., must be claimed within one month after the publication of the awards (except those sent from remote countries, for which a period of four months will be allowed), failing which they may be disposed of as the Proprietor of THE STUDIO thinks fit. He will under no circumstances hold himself responsible for the loss or damage of any drawings, photographs, &c., in whatever way such loss or damage may arise. (7) All drawings, &c., must be sent in packed flat, except where otherwise expressly stated.

The object of this series of competitions is to encourage photographers, amateur and professional, to give special attention to the artistic side of their work. The technical merit of the photograph will not be so much considered as its correctness in relations of tone—in maintaining a proper balance of light and shade, in avoiding exaggerated contrasts, and in rightly expressing subtleties of tone gradation. All photographs should be sent in mounted upon firm cards, with a margin not exceeding half-an-inch in depth. FIRST PRIZE: One Guinea; SECOND PRIZE: Half-a-Guinea. Photographs to be received at the London office of THE STUDIO, by May 1 for C xx, June 1 for C xxi, July 1 for C xxii, and Aug. 1 for C xxiii. COMPETITION COUPON.

YOU cannot help but admit that an invention which allows you to play the piano as a great artiste plays it is a most desirable acquisition, something that you cannot afford to be without. The Metrostyle Pianola is the only piano-player which gives anyone the power of reproducing authoritative interpretations. Therefore it is beyond question the best piano-player obtainable. Probably the cost has not precluded your purchase, especially as we have a system of easy payments for customers who desire to avail themselves of it. Perhaps you do not credit the fact that the Piano can be played artistically other than by hand. But most of the leading musicians have testified to the artistic value of the Metrostyle, and nothing is more certain than your being equally convinced if you call any time at Æolian Hall. Perhaps you are hesitating under the impression that there are other instruments “just as good.” This is an entirely erroneous idea; no other piano-player has the Metrostyle. The Metrostyle is unique, and is admitted to be so by authorities such as Grieg, Joachim, Moszkowski, Paderewski, and many other eminent musicians. There is no limit to the scope of your playing when you own a Metrostyle Pianola. Your répertoire consists of 15,000 compositions, and you can play any one of these correctly and artistically. Can you do this playing by hand? Can you render music in the way Paderewski has played it? The Metrostyle enables you to play anything, even if your knowledge of music is nil. If you cannot call at Æolian Hall do not forget to write for full particulars, specifying Catalogue R. --- THE ORCHESTRELLE COMPANY, ÆOLIAN HALL, 135-6-7 NEW BOND STREET, LONDON, W. --- A·SADE RSON· &·SONS WALPAPER, MANVFACT- VRERS·LIM?
