Toscha Seidel, like most of the
outstanding concert artists before
the public today, has broadcast
frequently and enjoys doing it. The
beauty of his Stradivarius radioes
perfectly, and the warm luscious
tone which the instrument pro-
duces under his magical fingers
transmits masnificently on the air.
OF a recent "air" performance, the
New York Evening World Tele-
gram commented: "SeidePs mag
nificent presentation of the Men,
delssohn Concerto aroused great
enthusiasm among thousands of
radio fans"
Toscha Seidel will use his fam
GUS violin when he appears here
on Tuesday, Feb 9Th, at Bucking-
ham hall, but the artist will be Wis
ible to the audience, the one thing
that radio has not yet made pos
sible although who knows what the
near future will bring? Nora Eau
chald Morgan, well known soprano
soloist, will be on the same pro-
