By Frances Keefcr.
Originality that whs the key
note of the distinctive, inspiring
concert which Rubinoff, his violin,
anii Fray and Braggiotti presented
last night in the coliseum. With
honors and popularity about

riaying many of his own com
positions. Rubinoff displayed a
rare beauty of tone quality which
was especially appreciated on his
extreme high notes. In his "Dance
of the Russian Peasant," Rubinoff
alternated bow playing with string
plucking at h high difficult tempo,
us he did also in his "Slavonic
Fantasy."
r.'odern interpretations popular.
Ry far the most popular with
th-. audietu-e. however, were his in
terpretations of modern, tango and
swing rhythms. Flaying his own
"Tango Tzirnne," the artist
Stamped his fool impulsively, beat
ing out the fiery rhythms. "Deep
Purple," a la Rubinoff, gave the
listeners a tvw, distinctive inter
pretation of that popular tune, as
did also "Sophisticated Lady."
"Fiddlin' the Fiddle" and the
haunting "Souvenir" were also
popular numbers.
Undeniably as well liked as Ru
binoff himself, Fray and Braggi
otti showed truly great mastery of
the keyboard and of duo-playing.
Extremely difficult passages were
played with split-second precision,
an.i the two never seemed to
watch for cues, so perfectly did
th.-y play together. This was also
displayed in their accompaniments
for the violinist.
Brings two encores.
Liszt's "Lii-bestraum," Ravel's
dynamic "Bolero," and Gershwin's
veil known "Rhapsody in Blue"
vo'ie expertly handled by these
two artists, but the most popular
presentation on their regular pro
giani was Braggiotti's own ar
rangement, called "Caricatures on
the theme of 'Home, Sweet
Heme.' " Cleverly played in the
manners of Stokowsky. king of
symphony, Sousa, march king,
Cugat, rhumba king and Raymond
Scott, king of futuristic scoring,
the number brought two encores
which stole the show "Alexan
der's Ragtime Band," and "Stop
Beatin' Around the Mulberry
Bush."
Said Braggiotti, in announcing
..hese numbers, "I was born in
Italy, my partner was born in
France, and Rubinoff was born in
Russia. They say you have to
he born on this side of the water
to know how to swing it." but
the three caiifrht t'-e snirit of
swing so completely that the audi
ence couldn't sit still. As Rubinoff
himself put it, "Most music af
fects you from here up" (pointing
to his waist t, "Hit swing affects
you from riere iown.
Rubinoffs final number was
Ah. Sweet Mystery of Life,"
played as a tribute to Victor
Herbert, who brought the violin
ist to America 26 years ago. The
great tenderness which he used
in playing- this well loved piece
brought the concert to a great
climax. Rubinoff's music and his
violin are truly a part of him.
