THE JEWISH CHRONICLE

CLEVELAND RAISES TWO-
THIRDS OF ITS SHARE OF
WAR RELIEF FUND AT
DINNER.

$100,000 Pledged to $150,000 Quota.
Expect to Raise Over $200,000.
Dr. Stephen S. Wise, Orator
of Evening.

Cleveland, Ohio.—It was one of the
most remarkable gatherings in the
history of the Cleveland Jewish com-
munity.
On Tuesday night the spring drive
for $150,000 for the Jewish sufferers
in the war zone began with a dinner
at the Excelsior Club, by the Com-
mittee of One Hundred for Jewish
War Relief. Rabbi Stephen S. Wise
of the Free Synagog; New York, was
the guest of honor and the orator of
the evening.
The scenes enacted in the dining
hall have kobably never been dupli-
cated at any similar event in Cleve-
land, Jewish or otherwise. They fol-
lowed the eloquent appeal by Dr.
Wise, which touched all hearts and
as some one in the background re-
marked, "touched all pocketbooks."
The result was that more than $100,-
000 was pledged, following the appCal
by Dr. Wise and Rabbi Gries, or prac-
tically two-thirds of the total amount
assessed to Cleveland by the National
Committee. The indications now are
that instead of $150,000 Cleveland will
contribute $200,000.

Unusual Scenes Enacted.

In the midst of Rabbi Cries' appeal
Dr. Wise announced that the expense
of distribution of the relief fund is a
little less than one per cent. "A gift
tonight of $5,000," he shouted, "means
the support of 2,000 people for a year.
Will you be one of the five to help to
support 10,000 for a year?"
A young woman rose from her seat
and addressing her father in another
part of the hall, so that everybody
heard her said: "Come on, father, be
a sport; give as much as you can."
Men and women arose to announce
the doubling and redoubling of their
contributions again and again. There
was no undue display of emotionalism.
It was all business, grim, desperate,
necessary business.
When, at a late hour, the $100,000
goal was reached and passed, Rabbi
Gries, Dr. Wise and the entire Com-
mittee of One Hundred were happy.
However, the work of real collecting
the total has just begun.

—A Piano in appearance, of grand and upright form. A Piano, too, in the
opportunity for hand-playing—and with all the beauty and perfection of
rendition suggested by these celebrated Piano names: STEINWAY,
STROUD, STECK and WEBER—the makes in which the Duo-Art is

furnished.
But more than a Piano—the Duo-Art is also a Pianola Player-Piano. All
the thousands of Pianola music rolls are your's to choose from, and its mar-
velous music-control features allow for every possible change of tempo and
expression—makes your playing that of the skilled pianist.

And most wonderful and affording supreme pleasure is its power, in con-
junction with the specially recorded Duo-Art music rolls, to bring into your
home the actual playing of Bauer, Busoni, Schelling, Saint-Saens, Godow-
sky, Gabrilowitsch and scores of other famous pianists. You could hear the
artist no more truly, or a single detail of his playing more perfectly ex-
pressed if he were playing for you in person.
