RIALTO-Elias Breeskin-"Play
things of Destiny"

Elias Brecskin, violinist Vfrtuoso.
who has attained musical prominence
within the last two years. is appear
ing in concert repertoire at Moore
Rialto Theater this week. Yesterday
afternoon he proved to a capacity
audience that he is a real artist. and
was rewarded by overwhelming ap-
plause, which recalled him to the
stage again and again. Mr.. Bree-
skins rendition of Souvenir de Mos
cow" by Wieniawski was truly mas
terful, and as the highest art is to
conceal art" he played the difficult
solo passages of runs and harmonics
so lightly and easily that one scarce
ly realized them to be exhibitions of
technique. Kreisler's "Old Refrain"
followed. and his popular 'Liebes-
freud concluded the program.
The film attraction, "PlaythinHs Of
Destiny" featuring Anita Stewart, un-
folds an interesting story. with the
scene of action ranging from frozen
Canada to tropical Jamaica. The
photography throughout is excellent
and surpasses many Of the purely
scenic films often used to supplement
programs. There are views Of icy
lakes glimpsed through waving pine
boughs, and OF snow-clad mountain
peaks f1ecked with moonlight. The
snowstorm rivals that in way Down
East" and there is also an impr ressive
hurricane among the Jamaican palm
trees.
"Playthings of Destiny" seeks to

hidden purposes. Destiny draws
tighter the tangled skeins, and then
slowly unwinds them. The Fox News
and a comedy. Torchy's Frame-Up,"

Sardine Shortaae Expected.

Shortage of sardines this spring is expected to result from the severity of the past winter. Storms and great masses of floating ice have destroyed hundreds of sardine weirs, according to Henry s. Culver. United States con- sul at New Brunswick, who says in a commerce report that even the weirs not wholly destroyed are so badly dam- aged that it may not be possible to use them this spring.
 There will be practically no catch of sardines this spring on the New Brunswick coast. The weirs may not be in condition for use until summer and the catch for the year will prob- ably be smaller than in any recent years. The past winter is said to have been the most severe the New Bruns. wick country has seen in 40 years.
