Musical

It fell to my lot to witness a most in
teresting episode the other day when two
violinists played for me in the studio. The
particularly interesting part Of the episode
was the fact that one Of the players was
about IA years Of age and the other was
more closely connected with the four-score
class.
The fact that both were related to q we'll
known musician, formerly Of omaha-Mar-
tin Cahn-will interest local philomusicists.
Master Warren Calm is a very talented
youth and he inherits his talent from both
father and mother as well as grandparents.
He Yields his bow with ease, grace and firm
ness. His tone is really remarkable in one
so young, and his execution surprised me
much. The boy has a bright future looming
up II he follows in the path Ok his father.
entering the musical profession I am
to believe sincerely that he has a
cali to ministry. He has received his edu-
cation in violin playing from DR.. Baettens
of Omaha (the grand old man" of mu-
steal art In this section), and he is now
studying with Becker Of Chicago. a prom
inent member Of the Thomas orchestra.
