“LADDIE” GRAY-LHEVINNE MAKES HIS DEBUT.
The accompanying picture was snapped within the month. The baby of Mme. Gray-Lhevinne, together with the artist's mother, traveled several weeks with the violinist. During a matinee concert when he was given the begged for treat of listening to the program from in behind, he suddenly trotted onto the platform while his mother teas between numbers of a group, smiled at the audience and at the artist, took out his big watch like a man, began to wind it, looked up at the violinist and said in a clear voice, which the whole audience could hear: “Munno, please play the Zephir and I'll time it.” Needless to say, there was a sensation, and “Munno” played his favorite, while he stayed on the stage smiling his joy, and then they acknowledged the storms of applause together. The little fellow has now returned to his mother's home on the edge of San Francisco Bay.
