Record details

The research corpus establishes that Poidras compiled his American entries largely from the 1916 Violinist’s Guide; his Rettberg line repeats the Guide’s 2 Park Square address in the same year the Boston directories put Rettberg on Huntington Ave., so it attests persistence in the reference literature rather than a fresh 1928 sighting. Read from the page image of p. 202 (scan leaf 286), folio read off the leaf. Same-form negative check: Rockwell, Farley and Squier all return zero in this volume’s full-text search, with Rettberg as the positive control.
