1954 / Verhovay Journal
MANY NEW TEAMS FROM EAST TO PARTICIPATE PAGE 10 Verhovay Journal March 17, 1954 May 29 — 30 Proclaimed Eastern Verhovay Recognition Days (Continued from page 1) the Hotel Commodore are in for a real treat in the form of entertainment that will simply transport them from mid-Manhattan to visions of a once gay and merry Budapest. Jeno Bartal has an orchestra that can play any type of dance music. Recently in the Hungarian daily newspaper, “Szabadság,” an article by Tibor Weber states that Mr. Bartal and his orchestra furnished the music at a dinner and dance in honor of the American Hungarian Medical Profession, the event held at the'Waldorf Astoria. The account praises Jeno Bartal and his musicians lavishly and notes that he plays for long periods before resting. Jeno Bartal came to America in 1925 after a successful tour with his own band in Scandinavia and South America. He is a graduate of the Academy of Music of Budapest. This in itself will lend much of the old-time Magyar flavor to the Night of Budapest Dance. Bartal’s favorite instrument is the cello. He has played with his own orchestra in such leading hotels of New York City as the Waldorf Astoria, Commodore, New Yorker, Ambassador, St. George and the Lexington. The major radio networks have featured his orchestra in many coast to coast hookups, Bartal being a pioneer of Hungarian music on the air. Mr. Bartal promised the National Executive Tournament Committee that his audience will hear music that will beautifully haunt their memories, especially the csárdás and the hallgató. The famous musician specifically sought this engagement because he likes Verhovay members and he feels that his musicians will make our EASTERN VERHOVAY RECOGNITION DAYS superlative. HUNDREDS OF NON-BOWLERS TO MAKE TRIP TO NEW YORK Group movements to New York are planned by every large Verhovay center in the country. Railroad coaches, buses, even airplanes are being reserved for the journey to the world’s greatest city. Every day brings more and more letters to the Home Office, inquiring about the glittering event, particularly help in making arrangements for in-group transportation. It is worth noting here that the Pittsburghers, while not sending any teams, already have made reservations that would equal at least seven teams. Special buses will carry Pittsburgh area members and guests to New York and back at special reduced round trip fares. We suggest that other cities follow the example set by the Pittsburghers by immediately making arrangements with one of the carriers for special reduced fare arrangements.
