...Manhattan last week arrived bristly haired, professional Violinist Adolf Busch bringing to the U. S. for the first time his famed Busch Quartet and his young protege Pianist Rudolf Serkin. Day before they landed came news that Busch, like many another German musician, had found Adolf Hitler's government more than he could stomach. Busch had been engaged for Brahms centennial concerts in Hamburg this month, but Pianist Serkin, a Jew, was not to be allowed to play. Violinist Busch withdrew...
...Busch Quartet was in the U. S. for the sixth Festival of Chamber Music at the Library of Congress in Washington, under the auspices of the $500,000 Eliza beth Sprague Coolidge Foundation. Currently in the U. S., with few engagements to fill, are such top-notch quartets as the Musical Art, New York, Gordon, Roth.

Conductor Fritz Busch (no Jew, but a Socialist) was on the stand ready to conduct in Dresden one night last month when Nazi sympathizers raised such a disturbance that he had to hand his baton over to an assistant...
...counteract which he put out Bevo, near-beer that sold well in Dry States until Prohibition actually arrived and 'legging began), through Prohibition itself with the necessity of trying to make money out of near-beer, malt syrup, and back to Repeal. Meantime he has carried on the Busch tradition of generosity (generosity is made of rubber: one of his servants died in 1929 and left him $19,000). Somewhat high-eyebrowed by some of St. Louis' more snobbish socialites, the Busches never got into the St. Louis Country Club, but started their own Bridle Spur Hunt Club...
