Magyar életrajzi lexikon (Arcanum): Magyari Imre, born Debrecen 10 September 1894, died Budapest 27 April 1940; cigányprímás. Father, id. Magyari Imre, a named Debrecen primás. Violin at the Debrecen conservatory with Füredi József. Gold medal at a Budapest primás competition at nine. Moved to Budapest in 1916 and formed his own orchestra. From 1920 until his death he played at the Hungária Szálló restaurant. Tours: England, Italy, the Netherlands. Recordings survive. A csárdás, Baj van, nagy baj…, was still known when the lexicon was printed.
The lexicon is the original for that career. Extra chairs once printed here from the grave register (Siófok 1909, Radics Béla, Royal Szálló, Magyar Rádió from 1925) did not come back from that register this pass. They are listed under Later until the original lines are in hand again.
Hungarian Wikipedia prints 12 September 1894. The lexicon prints the 10th. This page files the 10th. The 12th is listed under Later. This is not Toki Horváth Gyula of Kaposvár.
