MIAMI BEACH, (JTA) —
Violinist Isaac Stern, who has
fiddled his way with aplomb
through the uproar of low-fly-
ing planes over New York's
Lewisohn Stadium, refused to
play second fiddle to a cricket
at a concert here.
S_tern said it was not cricket
to have two soloists on one pro-
gram and called a halt because
of the competition. He had just
finished playing the first move-
ment of the Brahms Violin con-
certo when he walked 'over to
conductor John Bitter and held
a whispered conference.
Then he turned to the audi-
ence and said that • when he
agreed to play in Miami Beach,
"I understood I would be the
only soloist on the program.
Now it appears that I. have a
competitor, a cricket."
Pointing with his bow at
three potted palms at the right
of the stage as the source of
the unscheduled solo perform-
ances, he walked off the stage.
Three attendants marched
over to the palms, and tried to
trace the caroling cricket. Un-
able to find the insect, the at-
tendants took all three palms
away.
The violinist then returned
and completed the concerto.
