The New Orthophonic Victrola Record Player

THINK of having America’s greatest dance-organizations at your beck and call! Orchestras that would cost a small fortune to engage for a single evening! Through the new Orthophonic Victrola and the amazing new Orthophonic Victor Records, you can bring these selfsame orchestras right into your home. Exactly as you would hear them at the smart supper-clubs and hotels!

Listen to that crooning saxophone carrying the melody . . . the plinkety-plank of the banjos underneath beating a rhythmic accompaniment. Now the clarinet with its toe-teasing cadences. Now the guttural “bong” of the bass sax or the mellow “oomp” of the big brass tuba. Who can resist dance music like this?

The music you want, whenever you want it.

Not only dance music but all kinds of music are yours whenever you wish through the Orthophonic Victrola . . . reproduced with a clearness and fidelity to the original that is simply unbelievable. Voice has all the inflections, the mannerisms, the personality of the singer. “Matched impedance,” the new, scientific, Victor-controlled principle of smooth sound-flow, is responsible for Victor’s matchless tone.

The new Orthophonic Victor Records are an achievement comparable to that of the Orthophonic Victrola itself. They have a new fulness, a new depth and power. They are recorded by microphone, and made from an improved material which eliminates all foreign noises. They play on any instrument . . . and vastly improve its playing quality!

Until you hear the new Orthophonic Victrola play the new Orthophonic Victor Records, you cannot have the remotest conception of the thrill this amazing combination will bring you, day after day, year after year. See the nearest Victor dealer today. There are many beautiful models of the Orthophonic Victrola, from $95 to $300, list price. Silent electric motor ($35 extra) does away with winding. You play . . . and dance!
