privileges guaranteed by the law.
This provision has caused ap-

Brilliant piano virtuoso ARTUR
RUBINSTEIN, who performs at
the Masonic Auditorium 8:20 p.m.
Saturday, has always been highly
acclaimed in Europe as well as in
his adopted land of America. Soon
after the war, Rubinstein became
hte founder-president of the Fred-
eric Chopin Fund. In the fall of
1947, he returned to Europe to
concertize for the first time since
1939. An idol before he left the
continent, his return was the sig-
nal for one of the greatest tributes
ever awarded an artist. He played
more than 35 times to sold-out
houses, which had to install stage
seats and permit standees. In
Paris, his four concerts grossed
5,000,000 francs, an all-time high
for the French city.
The ROYAL WINNIPEG BAL-
LET, performing at the Masonic
Auditorium Saturday, Feb. 3, is
the first ballet company ever made
"Royal" by a British Monarch—
in 1953. Although entirely Canadian
in origin, the Royal Winnipeg Bal-
let today has achieved an inter-
national reputation. Under its di-
rector, Arnold Spoilt', the company
of 25 dancers has exchanged ideas
and artists with the Leningrad-
Kirov Ballet, the Royal Danish
Ballet and the (fortmerly) Saddler's
Wells.
