There is a real musical artist at
the Orpheum this week in the person
of Jan Rubin, violinist, but he is
not one of those violinists who
plays the violin and dances around
all the time and who sometimes
waves his violin between beats, but
real violinist, who makes the tones
of his music do the dancing or the
singing, or whatever it is he wishes
to express, a violinist who can play
not only loud and soft, but 100 diff
ferent degrees Of each one; and who
can use each degree in just the place
where it is the most satisfactory
for the art of the music. Mr..
Rubini received a gratifying atten-
ton from Orpheum patrons during
the numbers he played in the reg
ular program of the matinee Friday.
After the program, the genuine mu-
sic lovers stayed and enjoyed de-
lightful program which was spe-
cially arranged for them. Mr.. Rubin
has talent, technic and temperament.
His notes are always sure and true,
he draws an easy and skillful bow,
and his finger work IS clear and
decisive.

preston at Paris.

Paris, May 9.-(By the Associ-

as far from settlement as ever, ac-

asserts that President Wilson main
tains his position and it is not be-

He has not adhered, it is said, to
the proposed compromise by which
Italy would administer Fiume as
mandatory of the league OF nations
until 1928, after which Fiume would
revert to Italian sovereignty, the
Jugo-Slavs being given a port few
