in love with the big fidile" and
became known as the "Casals OF

of artistic determination, and
perseverance, and moreover, has
had it's present reward in his
conductorship OF the remarkable
musical organization known as
the Philadelphia String Simfoni-
eta. or more Familiarity as just
tho Simfonietta.
Born in Tver, Russia, he COM
Tnenced his musical career at the
age of 8, and at IL years deter
mined to enter the conservatory
at Petrograd, by winning schol-
arship there. Not an easy mat

available in either piano or vio-
lin, the two instruments on which
his talent was obvious. Indeed,
there was but one vacancy--for
double bass player. And at once
n set out to play the huge in
strument. When a few months
later, he duly presented himself
at the additions, the youngest of
the entrants, he was so small
that he had to stand on a stool
to play. Nevertheless, he won
tho Cui Scholarship and was ad-
mtted to the conservatory and
on his graduation he received
the gold medal, being, incident
ally, the only person who ever
did win it for work on the double
bass.
In March, 1923, he came to this
country and obtained a position
In the Philadelphia Orchestra,
and between seasons he bridged
the gap by going down to Mexico
on a concert tour-aS player of
the big fiddle. He made such
remarkable success in Mexico
City that he was hailed all over

equipped to the guardrails to ham

Equipping Of the Earle with

Crandall, vice president Of the
Stanley Crandall Company, has an
uncannily prophetic mind.
A year ago, when talking pic

saw the trend and installed full

ATLANTA

ATLANTA. Ga, Aug. IL
"IJncle Toms Cabin" will not be
shown in Atlanta. The stage pro-
duction has never been allowed to
snow here and the film OF the
same name has been barred by
the local Board of Censors, fol-
lowing a review OF the picture at
a tl1eater that had booked 1t for
the week OF September 3.
A series of conferences in which
the Censorship Board. Mayor T. N.
Ragsdale and representative OF
the corporation distributing the
film took part, resulted today In
the announcement that a harmoni-
Gus agreement had been arrived
at under which no attempt would
be made to show the picture in
Atlanta.
Many protests were received
from persons who witnessed the
review of the Harriet Beecher
Stowe narrative and the sentiment
was expressed that it would be
unwise to exhibit the picture be-
cause OF the danger of arousing
racial prejudice and sectional
feeling.
A controversy was avertad
when the theatrical interests
agreed to suppress the picture
locally after the Censorship Board
had expressed itself in unmistak.
able terms.
Atlanta has an ordinance that
forbids the production of any
stage performance or the exhibit
ton of any motion picture that
might tend to stir racial prejudices.
