Picture-Play Magazine (1933)

I was so lonely and friendless, a newcomer to town. Neighbors had made their polite calls, but I noticed they never came again. The nights were so long and dull. My husband hid behind his paper, bored and unhappy. I was almost desperate myself. One day I read how a lonely woman became popular by learning to play through the U. S. School Home Si inly Course. I sent for details. When I found how simple this short-cut to music was I sent for the course. It was fun to learn and before I knew it I was playing real tunes. I didn't tell Bob. Then came our party which Bob dreaded. When I sat down and played a gay, peppy tune, Bob was dumbfounded — but the party was "made." Now we're invited out almost every night. They all call me "the life of the party" with my music. I'm so happy I learned this easy U. S. School way.
