SENIOR MANUEL PEREZ sANDI

One of the particular stars of the
musical organization to be brought
here by Sara B. Mclean to play the
special Howschine- Koehler score for
the famous civil war screen drama,
THE Crisis" is Senior Manuel Perez
Sandi, prominent throughout Mexico
as violin cello soloist. In order to Sc
cure the services of Senior Sandi for
1.-THE Crisis" the orchestra leader was
compelled to pay him a large retainer
for several weeks before rehearsals
began.
Senior Sandi has only been in the
United States for about eight months,
just prior to which time he was lead
er of the Carranza National Band,
formerly the National Band of Mex
leo, comprising sixty people, and con-
sidered n Of the finest musical or
CARNATIONS in the world. However,
the turbulence Of war-stricken Mexico
finally became too much for Senior
Sandis temperamental soul and he
secured an indefinite leave of absence.
The cello played by Senior Sandi
is a remarkably fine old instrument,
which was given to the celebrated
'cellist seven years ago by the late
Porfirio Diaz, one time dictator of
Mexico. The instrument had been in
the Diaz family for a generation, and
is very highly priced by Senior Sandi,
who will come here with "The Crisis"
on Friday and Saturday, Feb'y 9th
and 10th.
