Caslav Albrecht, a Chicago violinist, recently made a trip to Europe and
brought back about thirty-five rare pieces of violin manuscript, which
cannot be duplicated. Many of the compositions were original copies and
the whole is valued at $5,000. The music disappeared at a party given by
Frank Steiner, another musician, which Albrecht attended. He says he had
the music with him when he came, and left it in the cloak-room during the
festivities, and that it was gone when he was ready to leave for home.
Although Albrecht was sure the manuscripts were merely mislaid, no trace
of them could be found.
