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.
