As an aspiring pianist myself at the tender age of 13, Van (he later invited me to call him by his first name) became my idol. having already had tchaikovsky’s First Piano Concerto, both the horowitz recording and the two-piano score, as a foundation of my musical curiosities for three or four years, Van’s triumph with this piece seemed to be more than a coincidence in my own life. When it was announced by ray mitchell, at the time milwaukee’s leading classical booking agent, that Van would appear in milwaukee at the 6000-seat Auditorium in late January 1959, i immediately asked my father to get me two tickets at the munificent sum of $10 each – today about $70 apiece! – and he obliged me the next day with the prized possessions in hand. In early, 1959, i had the good fortune of being chosen as one of ten outstanding pianists in milwaukee county in what was known as the "talenteens," a competition that fellow milwaukeean ralph Votapek had also won a few years earlier. it seemed as though all these events had meaning for me personally, and you can only imagine the thrill that Van’s upcoming concert must have created. indeed, the concert was sold out almost immediately, but there was such a clamor for tickets, especially among high school- aged students, that the concert organizers arranged for tickets to be made available for students to attend the dress rehearsal. my closest guy friends and i got our tickets for the rehearsal on thursday, January 29, and it was quite an event to hear the then milwaukee pops orchestra rehearse the schubert “Unfinished” Symphony and borodin’s Polovtsian Dances. the conductor was a dashing young fellow who was a relatively new person on the milwaukee musical scene, harry John brown, who eventually became the first conductor of the later milwaukee symphony orchestra, and with whom i later had a musical friendship through my service on the mso’s teen board of Directors. When it came time for Van to walk onto the stage for rehearsing the tchaikovsky, the audience of young people went wild. it was almost like a rock star had entered our the American liszt society presence – but with a much more “respectful” atmosphere. p r e s i D e n t The horn theme followed by the great crashing chords projected me into a different thomas mastroianni quantum level of life. i could only imagine myself doing the same thing some day. As the [email protected] work progressed (i don’t recall them stopping much for anything), i knew what my plan n eW s l e t t e r e Di to r for the evening should be.

  • Murder in Montmartre: the Leon Crutcher Affair by Anthony Baldwin with Original Artwork by Peter Poplaski
    Murder in Montmartre: The Leon Crutcher Affair by Anthony Baldwin with original artwork by Peter Poplaski opening the place on 2nd September 1925 in a blaze of publicity. The group photo was taken at Le Pavillon’s first-anniversary outdoor gala the following season. The hiring of musicians and entertainers was handled by Max-Roger-Louis Lolivrel, one of the project’s directors and former owner of Rector’s Club at 45 Rue des Acacias in Paris, where Syd and Harry Roy’s Crichton Lyricals had cut their Continental teeth in 1923-24. Dance acts and choreography at Le Pavillon were organized by veteran hoofer Harry Pilcer, formerly dance director at Rector’s. Max Lolivrel was even pushy enough to hang Rector’s trademark signboard of two drunken dogs above Le Pavillon’s garden stage. Rector’s itself had been closed since the spring of 1925, when Max had filed for bankruptcy in the Paris courts. However, nobody seemed to care. These were heady days. Leon Allen Crutcher (b. Trenton Falls, NJ, 10 Dec 1902) and drummer George Hill Evans (b. Wilmington, NC, 8 July 1896) had been regulars at Rector’s in Paris since their arrival from New York in 1924. Leon had no particular family background n September 2nd, 1926, almost exactly ninety years in music: his father was a New York postman and his mother ago, a society photographer in the French city of an apartment-house janitress. With his good looks and Biarritz took the remarkable action shot of the Palm OBeach Six reproduced on this edition’s cover page.
