That's ally coeds, Reider and his 'rib music7 take New Yorkers by storm Because eight years ago he heard the mellow musical clink of phehistoric rhinoceros bones, Henry Reider, chief preparator of the Nebraska museum, has just returned from a trip to New York where he appeared on Major Bowes' amateur program, "Strange as It Seems," and played for Fred Waring and Donna Dae, who appear with him above. For strange as it seems, the musical tones of the bones when he held them in his hand gave Mr. Reider the idea for a novel in strument, the bonaphone, con structed like t xylophone, with bones for bars. The ribs used have an exact pitch and a peculiar tonal quality because of the metal deposits which have accumulated in them for thousands of years. The bonaphone completed after eight years of work, won Mr. Rei der nationwide prominence when he played it over local radio sta tions. Robert Hicks, of "Strange as It Seems," invited him to play the new instrument over his na tionwide "oddities" hookup, and Mr. Reider went to New York. "Rib music" fascinates. The vertebrae paleontologist so fascinated New York by his "rib music'' that he was asked to play on Major Bowes amateur pro gram, and with 1,200 other ama teurs went through the endless au ditions until he was named as one of the nine to appear last Thurs day night on the amateur pro gram. Completely captivated by the glamor of the big city Reider was "bothered to death by interviewers and the thousands of questions people asked him." However many the trials of be ing famous, Mr. Reider thinks it had its compensations, for he was allowed to do some work in the American museum of Natural His tory in New York, and one after noon he played his instrument in a private concert for Dr. Roy Chapman Andrews and members of the museum staff. While in New York, he also dropped into the Fred Waring headquarters and played the bona phone for Mr. Waring and Donna Dae, formerly of Lincoln. Nice peoplt. People were awfully nice to him, modest and unassuming, Mr. Reider thought, and he met a great many celebrities. "Major Bowes is a wonderful man and has a great sense of humor," says Mr. Reider. "And another thing, he takes just as much care of the little men as the big ones. I wasn't scared a bit when I was on the air. I didn't even think about any thing else but just what I was do ing." Very much impressed by the huge studios of the Columbia Broadcasting system was Mr. Rei der, who said they seemed won derful to him. He met Metropolitan opera star Richard Crooks when he was a guest on the Firestone program, and also "a lot of actresses but I can't remember any of their names." All in all, though it was nice to be in New York and see every thing, Mr. Reider is pretty glad to be back to Morrill hall and its familiar fossils, for, says Mr. Rei der, "People in the east are in an awful rush, and if you don't keep up with them, they step on you."
