[78-L] Weiniawski

[David Lennick]

Yeah, who could commit suicide to Wieniawski? Wagner, on the other hand....

Not OT since Columbia issued a 78 set of Isaac Stern playing the music from 
that film. (Album was titled "Humoresque" in the US and "A Violin Recital by 
Isaac Stern" in Canada. Odd.)

Although she is running away from the source of the music, it doesn't get any quieter.  Does anyone recall this movie or know what it was?
