Unfamiliar Works.

Elias Breeskin. violinist. gave recital
last evening in Aeolian Hail. He pre-
sented a programme contrasting IA
miliar and unfamiliar works, of which
the Mendelssohn concerto and suite
by Sinding were the longest. Kreis-

one OF the most striking features OF
the HIST.
Mr.. Breeskin is not a newcomer to
the local stage. but has been known
for several seasons as a player pos
sessing some sterling merits. He was
not always at his best last evening, for
his intonation was too often faulty
But in style he shone TO advantage,
while in certain technical details he
was brilliant. Particularly was this
the case with his performance of the
flrst movement OF the Sinding suite
in which his command OF staccato was
mastery.
