Lyman Richards M.D. would test concert audiences' musical appreciation by seating "Kreisler, shabbily disguised, on a camp stool at a busy sidewalk corner. A 'Blind' sign above his dark glasses, let him draw his magic bow and play as only he can play it, the Caprice Viennois." (TIME, April...

Candidate Frelinghuysen, aware of this shift, cannot put to the fore of his campaign his close personal relationship with the late President.

Let Artist Kreisler seat himself, shabbily disguised, on a camp stool at a busy sidewalk corner. A " Blind" sign above his dark glasses, let him draw his magic bow, and play, as only he can play it, the Caprice Viennois.
