88th Year of Birth
New York
(U.R)
-Arturo
Toscanini celebrated his 88th i
birthday today without fuss and
fanfare because he doesn't want
any anniversary fireworks until
1957.
He observed the event at Villa
Pauline in suburban Riverdale.
The house, like Ponce de Leon's
Fountain of Youth, has been re
garded by many as a symbol of
the maestro' s health and vitality.
As Toscanini began his 89th
year, he appeared as healthy as
in 1947, when he warned his
orchestra he did not want any
ceremony on his birthday anni
versary until he was 90.
