YOUNG ViRTUOSl ADVISED
TO PLAY IN MOVIE HOUSES
BY the Associated Press.

BERLIN. November 20.-Young
musical artists are advised to forego
the concert stage in favor of the
movie house by no less an authority
than Nine. Kreisler, wife of the vio-
lin virtuoso.
THE day Of the concert stage is
passing rapidly" she said today. I'm
our day people are no longer willing
to sit through long programs. They
want their music in tabloid form.
That Is why i believe young artists
should abandon their dreams of filling
the concert halls and should rather
try to achieve international fame as
movie soloists.
IT believe that we shall soon see
the movie orchestras interchange
world famed guest conductors. AL
ready New York, Berlin. London and
other cities have cinema orchestras
comparing favorably with the best
symphony aggregatiOns The hest
virtuosi will soon be proud to play
for movie audiences.
Concert playing for most artists
Is a luxury which cannot be afforded
unless they have rich financial
