These smaller phonographs were prised for their portability, but not for the loudness of their sound. These small machines were very popular after the First World War. The ability to play records anywhere had made them popular gifts for solders They remained popular through the 1920s. The Sonata is designed to play 10 inch, 78 RPM records. There is no need for a speed adjustment because 78 RPM was the standard speed for disks.

- Description
- Dress, c.1925-1929. Green silk chiffon. Straight cut, button trim, lace collar and cuffs with embroidery, long sleeves, yoke above pleated and ruched knee length skirt. This dress is good example of the ever shorter and more transparent clothing that was being worn by rebellious young women toward the end of the 1920s. The round neckline has a rolled collar of beige lace that ends a few inches over the shoulders. At the front, it has abstract floral embroidery in blue, green, pink, and black. At the centre front of the neckline there is a bound slit with three self bound round buttons on either side. They close with thread loops from the right side that go around each left button. The sleeves flare out slightly into a bishop sleeve gathered to the cuff. They have the same type of embroidered lace on the cuff as on the collar. At the centre front of the bodice, there is a rectangular panel appliquéd with gold top stitching. Directly beneath, there is a yoke that circles around the back and comes up to a point at centre front. On either side of a dropped waist, there is a vertical row of three self covered round buttons with three thread eyes, creating a small fold in the fabric. The skirt is a plain tube with a front and back panel, and another panel that hangs on top extending to the side backs. This top panel is ruched with three lines of gathering at the centre front, and it is permanently pleated on either side of the ruching to the side backs. The ruched panel dips down slightly in a curve, and the whole panel is finished with a zig-zag stitch.

- Vancouver Sath - Flyer -- 1989. Single sheet flyer distributed by the Vancouver Sath advertizing the performance of a play on Saturday, September 23, 1989.
- The flyer is printed in Punjabi with no English on pink paper with black ink.
- Object History
- These items are ephemera collected by the donor during the active years of the Vancouver Sath organization. Most of the meetings and rehearsals were held in Burnaby, and most of the performances were held in Vancouver. The group was passionate about tackling difficult issues within the community and giving a space for these issues to be raised. The hope was the conversations would begin and go somewhere within families and the community. They covered issues of gender inequality, martial violence, wage discrepancy in work, union support, and racism.
- Vancouver Sath recognized that theatre was a more effective medium to reaching their audience than paper newsletters and publications was at the time. They were connected to the Canadian Farmworkers Union (CFU), and other location organzations for support, and due to many shared members. Often the CFU would apply for grants, and fund the cost of venue rental, set and prop procurement, and offering a modest honourarium to actors.
