Chicago Woman Aids
 Young Violin Artists

Chicago, Jan. 23. R-A Chicago society woman has unlatched the door of musical fame for two Cali fornia lads scarcely old enough to hold a violin in their arms.
 Ruggiero Riccl the eight-year- old protege of Mrs. Frederick H. Bart lett. was acclaimed as another Heifitz by critics who heard his debut on San Francisco concert platform. At six years of age Rug giero's brother, Giorgio, won a scholarship - after he had studied the violin seven months.
 A letter from relative told Mrs. Bartlett of the Ricci brothers. Louis Persinger, himself a violin teacher, said their parents were too poor to permit them to develop a precocious talent. Mrs. Bartlett determined to aid them.
 She rented cottage in Berkeley, Cal. A housekeeper and governess were hired to care for the boys. Tutors and violin teachers were en- gagged.
 Twice before his concert debut Ruggiero won the Oscar Weir me- morial scholarship for gifted and talented students. His technique on a $35 violin brought a unani- nous vote of praise from Pacific coast critics. Giorgio won the Emporium Achievement clubs con- test and scholarship in his first public appearance.
