Maryla Jonas,

Maryla Jonas, the Polish pian
ist, who performs here Wednes
day on the Lincoln Symphony se
ries, made a Carnegie Hall New
York debut just nine months ago
which was so sensational that New
York critics and national news
magazines have thrown superla
tives at her feet (or rather, at
her fingers!)
If there is anything that the
American public takes to its heart,
it is, the Cinderella story of a
young girl whose ability gets her
to the top despite all odds. Such
is the story of Maryla Jonas.
Bucking her father's prejudice
against a piano career, nine-year-old
Maryla was heard by Pader-
ewski when she made her debut
with the Warsaw Philharmonic.
The Polish' premier and pianist
gave her lessons, promising her
that in five or six years she might
at least "turn out to be mediocre."
Instead, in 1932 and 1933, she won
the International Chopin Prize
and the Beethoven Prize of Vi
enna, and was receiving wide
spread attention in Europe.
