Page 5 KIWANIS CLUB TO SPONSOR RUBINOFF AND HIS VIOLIN HERE - M4Y 23RD As announced last week the Terrace Bay Kiwanis Club will sponsor Rubinoff and his violin here on May 23rd. "Rubinoff and His Violin' is certainly a well known phrase in the entertainment world and thus pro- bably needs no elaboration for most people, However, for those who are uncertain of his stature as a musician and a humanitarian the following excerpts. from the December 24, 1957 issue of the Detroit News are offered: - "David Rubinoff, of New York, Hollywood and ports of call beyond the Seven Seas, © bows the most expensive fiddle on land or water, He bowed it with such devotion and dexterity that the voilin, which was made in 1731 in Cremona, Italy, by Antonio Stradivari, took on its. owmer's exuberan-3 and skill. Man and instrument became as one. Rubinoff forgot everything but the fiddle and the bow, He even forgot his first name, The phrase, "ubinoff and his Violin" became a shibbolleth of show business. "Magic Appeal - This somehow had a magic appeal, which carried him all over the world, not only to the capitals of music but to places like White Pigeon and Bad Axe, the Strad, Two presidents (Roosevelt and Eisenhower) bestowed encomiums on the man, These he carefully tucked away in his bureau drawer, Then he 'tucked the instrument under his copious chin and resumed Operations, The Strad is with him always, He travels with it on his lap and sleeps next to it at night, Plays at 5 Plates - Thus dedicated, he stepped out yesterday, under the auspices of The Detroit News, to activate a typical day for Rubinoff and.his Violin. He went to five institutions of semipublic character, where he entertained clients ranging from infancy to years far gone, _ This chronicler went along, as a sort of entrepreneur and herald, But Rubinoff needed no press-agenting. The Strad spoke for him and its tones were eloquent and pure, Williams House, at 548 Bast Grand Be:7>- vard, was the first stop and there the auuré c2 teen-age girls was filled "ith wonder (cont'd next col.) RUBINOFF (cont'!d) and delight. Especially when the Strad gave a magic touch to a famous ballad from a famous play -- "I Could Have Danced All Night," from "My Fair Lady." At the Jewish Home for the Aged, 11501 Petoskey, the man and the Strad were joined by a piano and this was played by Rubinoff's friend and accompanist for more than 20. years, Homer Phillips, who did a thunderous background to the Warsaw Concerto, Later on, at the Wayne County General Hospit al and Infirmary. Phillips went on his own in a clever arrangement of "Tea for Two," All in all, it was a rich and rewarding Christmas experience to spend the. day with Rubinoff and his Violin. It was a way of watching hundreds of people, regardless of their age, become children again, which is the way it ought to be, at this seagon," Tickets for Rubinoff's performance are now on hand and will.be. offered for sale shortly. The price will be $2.00 each. This is more money than is usually charged for - a night of entertainment in Terrace Bay, but the quality of the performer we believe justifies the cost. The Kiwanis Club, in bringing Rubinoff here is operating under the principle that one excellent world renowned performer at $2.00 is better than two not so good entertainment efforts at $1.00 each, As usual, all proceeds will go to the Kiwanis Welfare Fund, -* TERRACE BaY NEWS DEADLINE - Contributions to the Terrace Bay News must be submitted to the Townsite News Box by 10 aeme, Wednesday morning of each week, The News Box, which was formerly situated in the Hudson's Bay Store will now be located in the lounge of the Recreation Centre.
