Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 8 x 10", black and white photo showing Rubinoff playing violin, minor corner crease else very good condition. Procured at Eddie Cantor's Boys' Camp Benefit, Alvin Theatre Sun. April 26, 1936. Rubinoff played his Stradivarius at the White house several times and appeared in a few films and radio programs.

Who would guess that the most hackneyed of cheesy come-on catchphrases, "Come up and see my etchings" -- used as evidence in a breach-of-promise lawsuit -- originated with the Russian-American violinist who was perhaps the most popular of all radio violinists throughout the 1930s and '40s, playing his celebrated Stradivarius violin. IPS, heavy stock 8" X 10". Near fine. Striking sepia-tone half-length portrait of Rubinoff in tuxedo, right hand clutching the famous Strad and bow and left hand characteristically shoved in his pocket. In a dark area just below center he boldly inscribes and signs in white ink: "To: Arnold Gates / Sincerely, / David Rubinoff" in his lovely flamboyant hand -- and with superb contrast and none of the flaking sometimes seen with white inks. Undated, but lightly pencilled note on verso dates it 4 December 1933, placing it at the height of Rubinoff's fame. Arnold F. Gates (1914-93) was a noted Lincoln and Civil War scholar.
