Fiddle playing.
Jan Rubini, in spite of his temperamental haircut, proved a hefty little musician. The program calls him Swedish. If he is a Swede there Is nothing remarkable about the blonde Esquimaux. Jan is no mean showman, and he tied up traffic in number two spot with "I Hear You Calling Me" in his insinuating minors. He carries too much program matter, playing four selecting and charting nineteen. A little trimming there and upon the bean would take nothing from his success that couldn't be spared. His feminine accompaniste, Margaret Hughes, added a touch of tasty support to the turn. Rubini is worth better position, as his playing gets over on merit, very rare for single fiddlers in vaudeville.
