The following clipping concerning
an Indianapolis boy will be of interest
to a number Of local musicians:
A long time ago Hugh McGibeny
predicted that some day an American
! would be the worlds greatest violin
list. Now he thinks the day is here.
He believes that Eddie Brown. a r.
year-old Indianapolis boy. is the one
| upon whom the laurel will rest.
Mr.. McGibeny pointed to the pro-
gram which Eddie Brown will play in
next month. He bases his present
faith in the makeup of that program.
ANY n who can play that pro-
gram in public with Hubay's sanction
is a colossal genius" he said. "If he
can play that with Hubay's approval
l take off my hat to him. l don't
know how it's done"
1t will be recalled that Eddie Brown
was studying violin under Mr.. McGib-
eny when, about three years ago. he
was fired with an ambition to follow
in the footsteps of young Franz Won
Vecsey. whom he had heard play at
English's opera house. Won Vecsey
had been a pupil of Prof. Jeno Hubay
at the Royal Musical Academy, Buda-
pest. Eddie played for the elder Won
Vecsey the day following the concert
and they urged Mr.. and Mrs. Brown
to send the boy to Hubay. Won vec-
sey, then a boy in his teens, had as
founded the musical world. So it came
about. Eddie Brown, a boy of 9, went
to Europe to try his fortune. His
mother went with him. His father,
Jacob Brown, remained in Indianapo-
lis. Three years have passed. The
9-year-old boy has developed into a
musical marvel. His mother, broken
down with the strain and toll Of guild.
ing him, is now recovering slowly
from a severe illness which came lust
after he had won the competitive prize
at the Royal Academy last June. and
is ready to salute the world with mis-
attainment. The drudgery has come
TO an end. The day is almost here
where the world will hear-and Judge.
