Gershwin on Tour

Americas popular and talented
composer, pianist and conductor,
George Gershwin, has been persuad-
ed to make a concert tour and will
appear at English's Thursday, Feb
/, under the local direction of Mar
tens Concerts, Inc
There is much that might keep
him in New York, for his new Sa-
tirical musical comedy, Let EN- Eat
Cake" is now on Broadway, and
he has many demands upon his time
socially and in musical circles.
But he has felt that he should
respond to the wishes of many Of
his friends who desire to see and
hear him, and therefore, with Leo
Refsman's orchestra of thirty-siX
men, the young composer is making
WhirlWind tour.
He will be heard in twenty eight
cities from Jan. ID to Feb. 10, and
at his concerts he will play selec-
tons from his own compositions
and will be heard as Soloist and seen
as conductor.
Due to injuries recently sustained,
Leo Reisman will not appear, but
the noted conductor of most Of
Gershwin's shows, Charles Previn,
will conduct the orchestra, and
James Melton, radio tenor, will ap-
pear as soloiSt.
The concert should attract an
audience of music-lovers who know
Gershwin through his many nota-
BILE works so typical of America,
and, of course, his Rhapsody in
Blue his American in Paris" and
his Concerto in F" stand forth as
illustrative of his genius.
Moreover, there are numerous mu-
steal comedies also to his credit, and
"Of Thee I Sing" Lady Be Good"
Zip Toes" "Oh, Kay!" and Funny
Face" will be instantly brought to
mind
