A tall, handsome man, Mr.

He frequently was called on to
settle learned debates at ringside
tables and often acted as a
handy encyclopedia for column
niSts. He was well-informed in
history, science, philosophy and
the arts, but his special field was
music. He had a large record
collection and seldom failed to
come up with the right answer
to a question about classical
music.
Because of his interest in
music, it was one of his proud
boasts to friends that he occa-
Sionally had bested Violinist
Mischa Elman in boyhood tus-
SleS. Young Master Elman, he
said, was always practicing his
violin and never developed his
fighting skill.
Mr.. Berseneff had a wide cir
Gle of friends in the entertain
ment world, including stars who
had played or visited the Troika
and others he had known earlier.
He had a brief fling at the thea
ter himself in his native Russia
and spoke of knowing Gregory
Ratoff, the film director, when
both were pennilesS refugees. He
once delighted a young dancer
at the Troika by giving her a
handkerchief that once had be-
longed to Pavlova.
Mr.. BerSeneff is survived by
his widow, Nina, who lives at
1922 Fifteenth street NV, and
by daughter, Larissa, by for
mer marriage.

1t Was q Memorable Moment
When Gypsy Joined Jane
By Harry Macarthur

It was a most affecting mo-
ment last week when Gypsy
Markoff appeared on Jane Froh-
mans television show, "U. S. A.
Canteen." 1t was especially af-
fecting for the two, Miss Mark
off revealed the other night at
the Old New Orleans. where she
is headlining the floor show
This was something more than
just another guest appearance
on a television program.
Almost every one knows that
Miss Frohman and Miss Mark
off have shared a long and tax
ing ordeal. It started a decade
ago when the two, along with
some other entertainers, set off
on the first USO tour. Their
clipper crashed on landing at
Lisbon, killing several and in
juring others.
Miss Markoff and Miss Froh-
man were among the more seri-
ously hurt. It appeared that if
they did survive, their careers
most certainly had been ended.
Miss Frohman might never walk
again. Miss Markoff, with
snapped tendons in one shoulder
and probable loss of use of the
other hand, certainly would
never play her accordion again.
These were special girls,
though. They had courage and
they fought a double battle,
physical and legal. 1t isn't over
yet. But Miss Frohman did, sew
eral months ago, walk on a stage
once again, with the aid of leg
braces. She can even dance a
little.
And Miss Markof did make
