Rubinoff's $100,000 'Strad'
' satisfies a lifelong ambition
When Rubinoff, radio's dynamic
maestro, plays here as part of Tvy
Day program, his audience will
hear the liquid, limpid tones of a
matchless instrument in the hands
of a master for Rubinoff will be
using: his $100,000 Stradivarius.
Buying- the "Strad" was, for
Rubinoff. the satisfaction of a life
long ambition. To him it is as def-1
inite a symbol of progress as the
public acclaim he receives or the
dazzling offers from theatrical
producers and radio sponsors.
Rubinoff tcok his first lesson on
the violin at the age of five at
the home of his birthplace, in Rus
sia. The local music master, recog
nized his talent, offered to give
him free lessons. His first violin
cost in Russian rubles the equiva
lent of $1.75.
Studied in music capitals.
Four years of study won the
youthful prodigy a scholarship at
the Royal conservatory at War
saw. Later he studied in Berlin
and Vienna and came to the
United States when 14 years old.
In 1916, he became affiliated with
a midwestern theater circuit as an
orchestra conductor. Even at that
early date his vital personality en
abled him to inspire an orchestra
as only genius can do. He clicked
with the public, and became soloist
touring theaters as a headline at
traction. New York called him and he
was oiiered the baton at the Para
mount theater. His unusual ar
rangements and his dynamic mu
sic made him an outstanding fa
vorite of Broadway's music lovers.
He stayed there for five years,
and not even blase New Yorkers
could help applauding the brilliant,
sparkling, vigorous, always new
music that he seemed to draw
from the orchestra with his fin
gertips. Heard piano duo on night off.
Rudy Vallee introduced him to
radio. He was signed after his
first audition, to a contract which
ran for three consecutive years.
Following that he was featured on
other radio programs for many
years.
During one of his nights off in
New York, Rubinoff heard the pi
ano team of Jacques Fray and
Mario Braggiotti and was so im
pressed by their artistry that he
invited them to join him in his
present tour. Fray and Braggiotti
have, been a sensation in Europe
aiiCCKmcriea. In repeated concert
tours, they have been guest ar
tists with the country's leading
symphony orchestras, have been
reigning favorites on major net
works, and their recordings enjoy
a large popularity and following.
With the three master musician?
on one program, the advance tick
et sales indicate that the program
will be one of the most successful
presented in Lincoln this season.

Library displays
old manuscripts
Exhibit shows book
from 15th century
The "Book of Hours," medieval
French prayer book, is one of the
outstanding exhibits on display
in the entrance hall of the uni
versity library. Also included in
the display are reproductions of
expensive original specimens
owned by the British Museum library.
The Book of Hours, an antique
15th century vellum manuscript, is
in a fine state of preservation, and
it offers an excellent example of
the ancient art of hand illustration
of handwritten manuscripts.
On the second floor of the li
brary is an exhibit of autographed
photographs, original manuscripts,
published volumes and biographies
of Robinson Jeffers. Robinson
Jeffers is one of the outstanding
living American poets.
The Jeffers exhibit was assem
bled and prepared by Lorens Eise
ly, who received his B. A. degree
from the University of Nebraska
in 1933. Mr. Eiseley is now a
member of the faculty of the Uni
versity of Kansas.

Behind world events
The 12 mile limit
Key Pittman (d., Ncv.), chair
man of the senate's foreign rela
tions committee, has proposed an
extension of the present 3 mile
limit to 12 miles. Pittman has
recommended this extension as a
method of coastal control and
fighting defense. The plan is
greatly reminiscent of the 12 mile
limit which the United States was
able to maintain, by separate
treaties with foreign powers, thru
out the life of the Volstead act
and the ISt.h amendment.
Conflict of American and Jap
anese fishermen off the Alaskan
coast and the probability of "en
emy" submarines coming within 3
miles of the American coast nd
so endangering American shipping
are the bases for the Pittman pro
posal. The 3 mile limit was first made
a portion of customary interna
tional law in the years in which
a ship's ordancc could fire at no
longer range. Now, evidently, ship
gunnery is not so limited and the
defensive reasons for the estab
lishment of the old limit demand
its revision.
Tom's danger vanishes
Tom Fendenrast, better known
as the csar of Kansas City, is a
little better off today than he was
yesterday. E. L Schneider, a for
mer officer in eight Pendergast
controlled companies, vanished
after leaving a suicide note in his
car which was louno on one or
the Missouri river bridges. Later
Schneider's hat was found some
3 miles downstream from the
bridge.
Federal District Attorney Miiu-
gan particularly is mourning the
loss of Schneider whose testimony
before the grand jury cannot be
used unless Schneider is alive.
Milligan is reported to believe that
Schneider's testimony is largely
responsible for the obtaining of
the original indictment under
which "Boss Tom" is now await
ing trial. Schneider had been used
as a dummy stockholder in many
of the Pendergast companies and
was the ooverup man for the
"kick-backs" and gratuituous do
nations made to the former demo
cratic leader's political machine
which has for so Tong dominated
Kansas City.
