This page combines a film review section with a full-page advertisement. The left column lists recent movie releases—typical silent films of the era with their studios and brief descriptions. Notable titles include *The Ten Commandments* (Cecil B. DeMille), *Our Hospitality* (Buster Keaton), and *A Woman of Paris* (Charlie Chaplin). The small cartoon labeled "Dancing Mad" (credited to *Passing Show*, London) shows a group of people dancing wildly—likely satirizing the 1920s jazz age and the moral panic around flapper culture and modern dancing, which conservatives viewed as scandalous. The large image above shows an ornate interior (possibly a cathedral or concert hall), accompanying an Estey Pipe Organ advertisement claiming the instrument can play any type of music an orchestra can produce. This represents typical luxury advertising for affluent homes during the Roaring Twenties.

Param | THE GRAND and magnificent melodies which most of us associate with pipe organ music are only one phase of the many sided mu- sical qualities which an Estey Pipe Organ makes available.

While a complet and perfect instrument for the human organist, it may be played also with an auxiliary player, which automatically interprets any piece with all the life, character and feeling that a master organist might give it.
