Frosh Choose
1943Officers

Five Tongues Spoken
By Talented Twosome
The eminently successful two
piano team, Vronsky and Babin,
who will appear in McArthur
court Monday, April 27, play as
one person, but in private life
are distinct individuals.
Victor Babin, tall and muscu

it. During their concert tours,
whenever they have a free night,
they sample movie fare from New
York to the Pacific coast.

Wide traveling has enabled
them to speak five languages,
Russian, German, Czech, French,
and English. Their mutual pas

two preferences in American
food. Mr. Babin loves oysters in
