presents Jan Kubelik, in concert at 3 o’clock in the Municipal
Auditorium. A master of artistry, Kubelik has played in every
country on the globe, except Mexico.
“I don’t know how it is that I have never played in Mexico,”
he told a Reporter represents ’
tive yesterday in his hotel room
at the Blue Bonnet, "but 1 may
go there next season.”
Re recalled that in his early
triumphs on the concert stage,
he played before Britain’s great
Queen Victoria and the reigning
monarchs of Europe. Czar Nich-
olas decorated him when he ap-
peared amid the grandeur of the
Russian court as did other kings
and queens. He made command
performances before King Ed-
ward VII and George V of Eng-
land.

tour almost thirty years ago.
Since then he has made ten
tours in this country, appearing
in every large city. He played
none less than a hnudred con-
certs in any one season.

tour. From Sweetwater he goes
to Lubbock to play a concert at
Texas Tech and will later ap-
pear in Abilene.
With Kubelik is his dearest

instruments made by the great
violin maker whose secrets of
craftsmanship died with him.
