Music Lover's Gifts: Wine, Cigars, Piano

WHEN 82-year-old William Armine Bevan died in February young actors, actresses, musicians and singers lost one of their best friends.

In his will, made in 1932 and published recently, he has not forgotten them. One of the first clauses is: "I bequeath and release to artists, actors and actresses, all sums, whether for principal or intercat, which at my death may be owing by them to me.'
