Show Violinist Suffered Pangs Of Torture for the While During rehearsal, the conductor noticed that one of his first violins was not looking himself. He stopped and asked the man if he felt ill. "No, sir, thanks; I'm all right," was the reply. The rehearsal proceeded. Presently Pres-ently the violinist again caught the conductor's eye. "Smith," he said, "are you sure you're well?" "Yes, sir, really; I'm all right." But Smith seemed to grow paler. "Look here," said the conductor, "I really think you ought to go out for some fresh air, you know." "Don't worry about me, sir," said Smith. "I'm quite all right only, I simply loathe music." |
