Max Rabinoff, who organized

ist who has seen his highest
hopes crystalized into actual
productions which have been
crowned with unusual success.
Ever since the day when he
first brought the great Pavlowa
and her ballet to America TO
tour with the Boston Opera
Company, he has been a recog-
nized authority on theater and
musical art. He also is as well
known in the checkered corri-
dors of the State Department
as he is in concert halls, for
he has been active in interna-
tional affairs as well.
Mr.. Rabinoff formed this opera

were fighting to live and carry

He has a New York committee
that includes Howard Chandler
