(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.

Colonial and foreign stamps will be accepted.

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.

THE METROSTYLE PIANOLA It is comparatively easy to obtain a Pianola. PRACTICALLY speaking it is well-nigh impossible not to want a Pianola when once its possibilities are understood. You can immediately obtain a Metrostyle Pianola for a cash payment of £5, and the balance may be spread over as long a period as three years. The Pianola places musical ability within the reach of the great majority. The Pianola brings an absorbing interest into your life. It brings the unlimited pleasure to be derived from music of your own performance. It brings you a musical skill and versatility such as you cannot possibly obtain in any other way. Whenever you wish to, you can sit down to the piano and play whatever you like, and play it in a manner that is artistically perfect. You must immediately dispossess yourself of any lingering idea you may still have that there is bound to be something of the mechanically monotonous in Pianola-playing. If your technique was perfect enough to enable you to play nearly all the music there is, your hand playing would show just as much of the mechanical as would your performance with the Pianola. The Metrostyle allows you to exactly reproduce the actual playing of many of the most famous living artists. You are invited to call, or write for Catalogue R, which gives full particulars. --- THE ORCHESTRELLE COMPANY, ÆOLIAN HALL, 135-6-7 NEW BOND STREET, LONDON, W. --- THE WALL PAPER MANUFACTURERS LTD A·SANDERSON & SONS’ BRANCH CHISWICK.
