Cecilia Plays
“Tommy Tucker”
in Russia
“Sing* for Her Supper”
When Money’s Bad.
To be paid In bread and sugar wag
the curious and not altogether com
fortable experience of Miss Cecilia
Hansen, the brilliant young Russian
violinist who appears Thursday at
the Brandels, when she tourei} her
native Russia under the soviet re
gime.
"I was like little Tommy Tucker
who sang for his supper. The gov
ernment felt that artists must live,"
explains Miss Hansen, who Is to play
in the final offering of t^e Tuesday
Mualcale, "and ail fees were paid In
produce. It was all a part of the
Involved, hopeless situation which
existed In Russia at the time when
1 finally got out of the country.
There were few concerts. In the
sense that a musical program was
• presented there were practically
none at all. Most of the time I was
forced to ‘play on mixed bills. There
were clowns and jugglers and little
plays and dancers and monologists
and acrobats and even trained ani
mals—and somehow in this collec
tion of entertainers I would be In
serted.
"Money fluctuated constantly; what
was good In the. morning might be
cf doubtful value In the evening. A
pound of sugar was a pound of sugar,
Its nutritive value did not change.
Perhaps the officials were wiser than
they suspected when they paid us In
sugar or eggs or butter.
"I have sometimes wondered
whether there was a scale of food,
corresponding to the music which we
played. The Tchaikovsky concerto,
for Instance, would bting more sugar
than a group of shorter pieces. At any
rate, this strange system of remune
ration was a safeguard against
starvation. But I am glad that I no
longer have to get my groceries
from the stage manager."
Miss Hansen is now making her
second American tour, going tills
year to the Pacific coast, which she
will visit for the first time.
