THE
MUSIC TRADE
ANDREEF
ANDREEF is dead: Andreef, the creator
£—^ and peerless conductor of the Balalaika
Russian Orchestra! Andreef, who a few
short years ago charmed musical America with
the mastery of his art!
Andreef died of starvation!
Because he was a musician, Andreef was
placed in the fourth category by the Bolsheviki,
.and so was starved to death.
In the Universal Federation of Soviets there
is no place for the musician, the poet, the artist.
In Bolshevisn^Jt£ujjr£j^^^2e no leaders: no
place for those who would express the music
that's in their hearts or who would lead others
into higher realms of thought through the
^genius of their pen or brush.
"
These must be put in the classification
of undesirables, and thus the great Andreef
passed.
Thus Bolshevism, in America, would fasten
its withering blight upon music, would strip
thousands of their high endeavor and finally
abandon them to die by starvation, like felons of
old, in cells of infamy.
