RADIO CITY MUSIC DIRECTOR HAD HUMBLE START
Erno Rapee, 41 years old, just chosen general musical direotor of Radio City, began his career as a $25 a week pianist in a New York hotel. He received his musical educa¬ tion at the Budapest Conservatory. Though a pianist of marked ability, he decided that his right field lay in or¬ chestral conducting and time has vindicated his choice.
It was only a year or two after his graduation that the famous Dr. Schuck, conductor of the Dresden Opera House, chose Mr. Rapee as his assistant. Feeling that America of¬ fered greater opportunity for the realization of his goal of orchestral conducting, he came to this country from Hungary in 1912. The second position he occupied in America was that of musical director of the Hungarian Opera Company.
He later became musical director of the Capitol Theatre, New York, under the management of S. L. (Roxy) Rothafel. He became successively managing director of the William Fox Theatre in Philadelphia and leader of the orches¬ tra at the UFA Theater in Berlin.
Returning to this country in 1926, Mr. Rapee again became associated with Roxy as conductor at the Roxy Theatre, New York.
Mr. Rapee has composed "Charmaine", "Diane" , "Angela Mia", "Little Mother", "Marion" and many other songs. He also has been responsible for the musical settings of such films as "What Price Glory?", "Street Angel", "If Winter Comes", "Over the Hill", "Passion", "Robin Hood", "A Connecticut Yankee" and "Monte Carlo".
Conductors at Radio City include Macklin Marrow, di¬ rector of the Newport Symphony Orchestra; Charles Previn, of the St. Louis Municipal Opera, and Joseph Littau, of the Omaha Symphony Orchestra.
In charge of radio broadcasts from Radio City Music Hall studios will be Leo Russette, who served in this capa¬ city at the old Roxy Theatre.
