violinist, will be featured on the second
student entertainment program of

will come to the University directly

Despite his age of nineteen, Ricci
has been active on the concert stage
since the age of 10. In the fall of 1929,
he went to New York from San Fran
cisco and was acclaimed by Metro
politan critics as a child prodigy. .
PRAISED HIGHLY
In commenting on young Ricci, after
he first made his advent onto the con
cert stage, Leonard Liebling in the
"American" magazine carried, "He
has won a truly sensational success.
What he achieved was outstandin jly
fine, often fabulous, and to be com
pared only to the - phenomenal per
formance of those erstwhile marvelous
children of the violin, Elman," Heif itz,
and Menuhin. However, their gifts
were no grander than are those of
Ricci."
Recently, after a Carnegie hall ap
pearance, the New York Herald Trib
une commented, "It is always gratify

that is applicable to the performance
of Ruggiero Ricci, violinist, in Carne
