Artur Rubinstein, Versatile Piano Artist,
To Present Concert in McArthur April 17
By Laura Olson
Acclaimed as the supreme inter
preter of the music of half a dozen
nations, the famed pianist Artur
Rubinstein, will appear at Mc
Arthur court April 17 at 8:15 p.m.
Rubenstein is the first artist to
appear in Eugene this term.
His appearance is sponsored by
the Eugene Civic Music associa
tion. Members of the AStTO and
the ECMA will be admitted free
of charge.
Rubenstein, by general consent
"one of the greatest living pia
nists," climaxed his whirlwind
sweep of half a hundred American
cities last season with a Latin
American tour. He returned to his
home in Hollywood in August in
time to give one of his stirring
concerts at the Hollywood Bowl
before a record-breaking audience.
Universal Talent
In 1906, when as a youth of 16
he made his American debut,
Rubinstein was considered a
specialist in Beethoven, Liszt and
Brahms. Still later the music of
Chopin was claimed for him as his
peculiar province. Rubinstein has
ignored all such labels, holding that
e musician, like the music he plays,
knows no national boundaries.
He has made his home in cities
all over Europe; his present one
in Los Angeles is his thirty-second.
His son was born in Warsaw, his
first daugther in Buenos Aires,
and his youngest, Alina, in Los
Angeles. Mr. Rubenstein bears out

his musical internationalism in his
personal life.'
Wed In London
His wife, Nela Mlynarski, is the
daughter of the Warsaw opera and
philharmonic orchestra director
and conductor, for whom Ruben
stein was a guest soloist at the
age of 12. The famous bachelor’s
marriage to the Polish beauty was
a fairy-tale wedding in London in
1932.
The Polish ambassador was best
man, the celebrated Ruth Draper
gave the bride away, and seven
ambassadors, as well as leading
literary, painting, musical and
social figures of Europe were
guests.
More anecdotes are recounted of
Artur Rubinstein than of any other
world-renowned figure. He speaks
with rapid fluency in eight lan
guages, claiming American slang
as his ninth.
As a recording artist, Mr. Rubin
stein is more heavily represented
in Victor’s vast catalogue of “The
Music America Loves Best” than
any other pianist.

Ex-UO Haw Haw
Now on Our Side
By Barbara Gilbert
Men who served in the south
Pacific during the war will not
soon forget the entertainment af
forded them by smooth-talking
Japanese who regularly fed prop
aganda in perfect English to un
heeding G. I.’s via radio Tokyo.
Jap Lord Haw Haw
Not the least of these was one
James Brandon *\vho became known
as the “Lord Haw Haw of the
Pacific. ’ His ardent dissertations
on the short-comings of the Unit
ed States amused the American
hoys, but kept them wondering
who the man was and what he
was doing on the wrong side of
the fence.
Graduate of Oregon
With the end of the war, the
truth was revealed. In 1934 Bran
don, whose real name is Charles
Hisao Yoshii, received a B. S. de
gree in economics from the Uni
versity of Oregon. In 1935, because
he could not make a living in the
United States, he went to Japan
and became associated with Ya
suke Matsuoka in the diplomatic
service.
In 1937, he was engaged in busi
ness in Tokyo and frequently
broadcast over JOAK (Tokyo) and
was heard throughout the Japa
nese empire. In 1942, he began his
American broadcasts, which, he
insists, were prepared scripts and
paid for by the Germans.
His latest job?—civilian advisor
on radio education on the staff of
General MacArthur.
