INTEREST IN Music
REVIVED BY movies"
Prof. Breeskin Outlines Trials of Or
chestra Leader.

In one sense OF the word the public
owes a debt Of gratitude to the motion
picture In that II has served to stimulate
and revive musical interest OF the bet
ter sort Some years ago the music in
most picture theaters was q Joke, consist
ing mostly Of a misfit piano played by an
Indifferent performer. Today some Of the
greatest musicians and conductors in this
country are employed in motion picture
houses. In Washington some few years
ago, when Tom Moore installed an orches-
ira to play Aims, Wiseacres shook their
heads and predicted dire failure.
Prof. Daniel Breeskin, conductor Of
the Strand Symphony Orchestra, has
made a close study OF the relationship of
music to motion photography. 'Tt is Of
the utmost Importance said Mr. Bree-
skin. that the conductor in a picture
thsatsr have a wide knowledge Of musi-
cal composition from the classics to rag
time. I have a library Of many thousand
compositions. Very often we use over
800 compositions in fitting one picture,
strain from piece and few bars from
another.
Mr.. Breeskin has recently Installed a
new and enlarged orchestra at the Garden
TheAter with Signor James Punaro, late
Of the New York Symphony Orchestra,
director, and Prof. J. H. Click, concert
