ents from Prague, Czechoslovakia
during the outbreak of World War
II. After a year’s wandering
through war-torn European coun-
tries, Miss Kallir resumed her
study of the piano in New York.
After private tutorage with the
late Herman de Grab, Miss Kallir
attended the Mannes Music School
under a scholarship. She then at-
tended the Sarah Lawrence Col-
lege at Bronxville, New York.
In October of 1949, Lillian Kal-
lir delivered her debut at New
York’s Town Hall. The mark that
she made on her audience at that
time was instrumental in launch-
ing a career which has placed her
among the few really first-rate tal-
ents of her generation.
Unassuming and natural as only;
youth can be, Lillian Kallir also
possesses the great gift of com-
muning with her audience and giv-
ing them all the joy and spiritual
beauty contained in the music. She
possesses a personality fully equal-
ling her great musical gifts, and
has won high praise and enthu-
siastic acclaim for her extraordin-
ary talent. Her Way of winning an
audience is nothing short of phe-
nominal.
Wednesday was Miss Kallir’s
twelfth anniversary of the arrival
of her and her parents in America.
Originally Austrian citizens, Miss
Kallir and her parents are now
naturalized American citizens.
When the Kallir family came to
America Lillian had no knowledge
of the English language. She now
speaks perfect English and one
cannot detect the slightest accent.
She is the master of four fanguag-
es, German, French, English and
what she laughingly calls the
“Swiss Throat Disease” since the
Swiss people speak a' mixture of
German, French and Italian.
While not on tour Miss Kallir
takes private piano lessons from
75 year old Isabelle Vengerova.
“She is quite a remarkable wo-
man,” exclaimed Miss Kallir. “I
practice the piano six or seven
hours daily while off tour,” stated
Miss Kallir. For five years she also
played the violin. -
Miss Kallir has been in Texas for
over two weeks. She was also here
on tour two years ago. She said
that she likes Texas very much de-
spite the nasty weather she has
witnessed during this tour.
Lettermen Publish

The newly reorganized Letter-
man’s Association has been active
during the past two weeks, and
have extensive plans for future
projects.
First of the Association’s ac-
tivities was the publishing and dis-
tributing of basketball. programs,
and second Was the selling of re-
freshments at basketball games.
The organization hopes to in-
crease student interest in varsity
athletic events, according to Bill
Radetsky, president of the group.
