...music is the highest, purest medium of expression. The wealthy patrons of art have taken heed: Felix M. Warburg, Clarence H. Mackay, James P. Warburg, Mrs. Robert Bliss, Mrs. Otto H. Kahn, Mrs. Alma Gluck Zimbalist. So, in Manhattan's Aeolian Hall, last week, a new quartet was heard, enthusiastically applauded for a lovely rendition of the Mozart C Major, Schubert D Minor-the Musical Art Quartet. Three of the artists are pupils of Franz Kneisel:-Sascha Jacobsen, Bernard Ocko, Louis Kaufman; one, Marie Roemaet-Rosanov, cellist, pupil of one of the world's greatest interpretive musicians, Pablo...
...things. They are temperaments, identified by their own names for centuries, treasured, loved by the men who have been fortunate to know their richness. The "Titian" was once owned by Efrem Zimbalist. The "Viola Mac Donald" was born in 1701. "La Belle Blondine," the cello that was heard in Spain, was bundled off in silks and felts to the U.

They heard the famed Wanamaker instruments, Stradivari, Guarnarius, Quadagnini, Montaguana, Gofriller . . . played in massed unison by the great string quartets of the U. S. - Flonzaley, Pro Arte, Lenox, Vertchamp, with four bass viols in accompaniment. Under Mr. Rich's direction the musicians poured harmonies and melodies from Purcell's Suite...
...grandiloquent handwriting. All he wanted to find out was whether or not Chicago's "Our Mary" had ever written an opera. It being his very first assignment he did not know whether "Our Mary's" alleged cold was an operatic brand of applesauce or not. He had heard that no diva ever avoided publicity and as for "Our Mary" being in bed-well, he guessed lots of people had received in their bedrooms before this, in health and in sickness, for better or for worse. Still, he had been as persistent as even a cub reporter should...
