ed Monday a limit of $15 per
house may be spent on Junior
Weekend floats, which means
a total of $30 may be spent on
each float.
I
Rubintsein’s remarkable career
may be catalogued by the follow
ing- events:
Joseph Joachim made Rubinste'n
his protege at the age of eight.
The pianist acquired a followfng in
Europe by the time, he was fifteen.
As a youth of sixteen he makes
his American debut in 1906, and
is considered a specialist in Beet
hoven, Liszt and Brahms.
Traveler
Since his debut in 1906 he has
journeyed more than a million
miles, playing everywhere in the
world except Tibet.
Recently an anonymous music
lover rather dourly complained in
a New York newspaper that the
critics writing for the metropoli
tan dailies had run out of superla
tives in reviewing the several an
nual appearances of Rubinstein in
the city’s concert halls, and were
beginning to repeat themselves.
He pointed out that Olin Downes
of the Times had used the words
“masterly” and “master pianist”
in writing of two successive Car
negie hall concerts by the Polish
pianist; that Louis Biancolli the
World-Telegram had referred once
to Rubinstein’s “Giant technique”
and the next time had called him
one of the “giant technicians of
the keyboard.”
Perfection
Henry Simon expressed this ver
bal exhaustion in PM, confessing
"About one pianist in every 10,
000 or more reached a state of
perfection in his playing where the
critics can only sit back and ad
mire and, perhaps, offer a few mild
differences of opinion. Artur Ru
binstein has reached that populated
state.”
Nevertheless the briefest re
search reveals that far from ex
hausting the critical fraternity, Mr.
Rubinstein’s powerful playing in
spires them to ever greater heights
of eloquence. The Sun reports on
his "sheer pianistic sorcerty.” Mr.
Biancolli writes: “Mr. Rubinstein
made the whole concerto sound like
something heard in a dream,” and
on another occasion, that the
pianist "entertained regally.”
PM refers to the “magical name
of Artur Rubinstein,” and Olin
Downes exclaims, "Mr. Rubinstein
was a host in himself.”
Variety climaxes with charac
teristic terseness: “Rubinstein
Socko In Recital.”
Lack of 'Name' Band
Cancels SDX Dance
Members of the University chap
ter of Sigma Delta Chi, men's pro
fessional journalism fraternity,
voted’ to withdraw plans for an
all-campus spring term dance,
Charles Politz, president, announc
ed Monday.
Original plans were made with
the condition that a “big-name”
band could be signed for the occa
sion.
“No nationally famous band was
available on the nights suggested,
Politz declared, “so the plan was
dropped.”
