The Breeskin Brothers

A BOUT 2o years ago in Ekateri-
"A noslav, a city of about 100000
population near Odessa, in southern
Russia, a little boy 10 years old
showed remarkable precocity as
violinist. In the cradle was his baby
brother, less than a year old. AS the
two grew up the elder progressed as
an artist, but devoted most of his ef-
forts to the development of the
genius for the violin that the younger
brother manifested at an early age.
In time the two went their separate
ways, one to become q noted concert
artist, the other to take his place
among recognized conductors.
These two brothers were Daniel
Breeskin, conductor of the symphony
orchestra at Crandalrs Metropolitan
Theater, and Elias Breeskin, recent
Iy appointed conductor at Crandalfs
Tivoli Theater. Fourteenth street and
Park road northwest.
Daniel Breeskin became a violinfst
Of first rank in his native land be-
fore attaining his majority. He tour
ed Russia and Europe in concert and
from early youth displayed excep-
tionally interpretative sense and fine
command of tone and technique.
Coming to this country about
twelve years ago, Daniel Breeskfn
took up orchestra work and was
among the first musicians to perceive
the possibility Of orchestral inter-
probation of motion pictures by syn
chronixinG standard compositions
with the action on the screen. He Is
today recognised nationally as a
leader in this line Of endeavor.
Throughout the period Of his own
Evening star., 1924-09-14

success as a conductor. the elder
Breeskin always has kept in close
touch with his brother and acted
largely as his mentor in making i'm
portant decisions.
After having studied almost from
babyhood under the tutelage of DAN
iel, Elias Breeskin at the age of s
enrolled in the Imperial Conservatory
in his native city of Ekaterinoslay.
and four years later came to America
with his brother and at once enrolled
in the United States Institute of Mu-
sical Art in New York City. from
which he was graduated in 1917 as
the gold medal pupil with cash
award of $1,000. in recognition of ex-
ceptional attainment as an artist.
A concert tour of the United States
followed his graduation and two
years later Elias Breeskin became
assistant artist to Enrioo Caruso, in
which capacity he served for two
seasons. In 1920 he married Miss
Adelyn Dohme of Baltimore, and COM
bined his honeymoon trip with a con-
cert tour of the Antipodes. Returning
to this country he became a membe r
of the Elshuco Trio and remained
with that organization for three
years. Last season Mr. Breeskin was
concert master and soloist with the
Minneapolis symphony Orchestra.

in various districts, such as that rep

the foundation for similar work is
already being laid in the northeast

AS soon as the groups become bet

great singing contests be held in the
