Magil, of the Daily Worker, and William Abrams, of the Daily Freiheit, dropped in on the inventor for a feature story. “Prof. Leon Theremin led the way into the modestly furnished bedroom of his suite at the Plaza Hotel,” Magil wrote. “... a pupil of his was practing on the new ether-music instrument.” The pupil was Alexandra Stepanoff, Theremin's first student on U.S. soil -- a young, recent immigrant to America.
