Pianist Expresses Pleasure In
Playing Romantic Pieces
“If audiences bother an artist
it is better to shut up the piano
and not play,” emphatically stated
Alexander BrailoAvsky, av e 11
knoAvn Russian-born pianist, Avhen
tAvo BELLES scribes intervieAved
him during intermission at his
Raleigh concert March 1.
Greatly impressed by Ann Lu
cas Avho greeted him Avith the only
Avords she knoAVS in Russian,
“good morning!” the good natured
pianist said that artists must loA'e
their audiences. He continued
saying that every audience’s re
action depends on its tempera
ment and that each audience re
acts in a different Avay.
BrailoAvsky especially enjoys
playing in SAveden and Spain
and above all likes to play ro
mantic melodies. He also likes
Russian music very much.
Besides music as a hobby,
BrailoAvsky collects clocks and
Avatches. He has maiiA’ interest
ing 17th and 18th century ones.
Formerly living in Paris and
SAvitzerland, BrailoAvsky has re
cently bought a house on 64th and
Park AA'enue in Nbav Y^ork.

Aliss Fulton Avas convinced that
Ave haA'^e no idea hoAV little the people
have. Money is practically Avorth-
less, and although it is against the
laAV to barter, almost anything can
be bought with cigarettes. People
rent Avith them, and farmers
will not sell food for anything but
cigarettes. The only cosmetics girls
have are given them by American
soldiers.
Because of the great desire for
certain things, there is much steal
ing. It is not safe to have domestic
servants because the temptation to
steal is so great. The thieves are
no respecter of persons, for last year
500 pounds of candy that Avas being
saved for a Christmas party, was
stolen from the German Youth Asso
ciation house. Despite this, the as
sociation gave a huge Christmas
