Young American Has
Famous Old Instrument

THE Philharmonic Symphony Or
cheStra of New York will open its
season in Washington January z, at
Constitution Hail. at 4:30 pm.
A notable addition TO the orchestra
this year is Alfred Wallenstein, native
American, as first cellist. He is one
of the youngest men playing one of
the oldest celloS.
Born in Chicago and reared in Cali
fornia, Mr.. Wallenstein is % years old.
The cello he will play is more than 200
years old, q masterpiece of Montnangna,
pupil of Stradivarius. 1t was q prize
piece In the famous Wanamaker collec-
ton of old MUSICAL instruments, and
the heirs were specifically charged that
the Montnangna was not to be sold
except to a musical genius worthy of
it." The young cellist acquired 1t by
qualifying, under the eye and ear of
Toscanini, to that estate.
The story of Wallenstein'S rise Is IN
teresting. His father was an interior
decorator in moderate circumstances,
who determined that his only son was
to follow a musical bent. The boy
loved the sound of the cello and his
father bought him one. He learned to
play it by sitting on a high stool. At
Is he played in the orchestra of a
motion picture theater in Los Angeles.
Anna Pavlowa heard him there and
took him-still youngster in knee
breeches-on tour with her to South
