IS STRADIVARI MODEL

Bert Ellis, of 416 Paramore street,
clerk at the Campbell Drug company,
today showed a violin in his possession
which some say may be a genuine
Cremona over 100 years old. Inside on
yellowish label a Latin inscription
reads, when translated: Antonio
StradiVari of Cremona, made in 1740.''
This statement is followed by a circle
in which is marked a small cross and
nearly obliterated figures resembling
the numbers "4'' and 90 AS Stradivari
died in 1877, it could not have been
made by the man himself, but may
have been the work of one of his pu-
pills. The instrument follows the long
and slender lines of the Stradivarius
model. 1t has now a fairly good tone.
Young Ellis father, William Ellis,
bought it from a man in Osawkie a
few years ago. Although many spuri-
Gus "Cremona" violins are made in
America, several informed on the sub
ject who have seen this instrument say
that it is likely of European, if not of
Cremona make. This town, in the
province of Lombardy, Italy, was the
home OF several famous violin makers,
Straivarius among them, in the sew
enteenth and eighteenth centuries.
Their instruments are very rare now,
and are worth from $500 to over 81 900.
The wood in some of them, it is said,
came from old Venetian galleys. The
vanishing and other processes en-
ployed to get a peculiar resonance of
tone, is a lost art.
