Erno Rapee

"The pianist hasn't yet found out how to have his hair cut in an American style." "There's no comedy in Rapee unless he strikes you as funny, and there seems to be so many people nowadays who play the piano. It has been noticed that it isn't always the best player who gets the most applause; quite often it is the one with the best rag arrangement [...] as a concert turn Rapee could get over. In a vaudeville he is merely a number."
