Eminent Violinist Held as Spy En Route to America
Alexander M. Skibinsky, the Russian violinist who played at Chautauqua, faced wartime suspicion in 1914 as he traveled from Berlin to Moscow, then through Norway and Sweden to England where Scotland Yard questioned him. He was detained in Newcastle until his performance eased suspicions and he continued to the United States. He remains a patriot who hopes for Russia’s emancipation and renewed vitality after the war.
