Hurrah for th like May Singhi Breen really deserves praise for her persistent battle to make, the ukulele a recognized musical instrument. May has fought the musician's union on this matter for many months meeting with very little success. She even went so far as to hire a Brooklyn attorney to present the case for the lowly uke before the high executives of the union. Somehow they've scorned the ladv and her poor uke.

And they burn lncensa, the facts of the "case, Brown was slated to be a violinist and a great one three generations before he was born. That fate cannot be hurried may be, perhaps, the moral of the story. His great-grandmother, who was credited with possessing a sixth sense, solemnly declared one evening in far-off Poland that their son some day would play his violin for the whole world to hear. Great-grandma was just three generations removed from hearing her dream come true. Her sdn did not achiev the desired distinction in music because her husband had other plans befitting the son of a great merchant.

So the boy abandoned his lessons, packed the violin away and entered fields of trade. The lad could not long endure the things of commerce, however, and practised secretly, obtaining In due time some recognition in his native city. The war between art and commerce continued into the next generation. Curiously enough the grandfather whose musical aspirations had not been fully realized, himself wanted his son to enter business. The boy, Brown's father, had other ideas and also an aggressiveness that brought him to Vienn to study under a famous teacher, Grun.

In a short while he too succumbed to the lure of trade and migrated to America. This surrender produced an interesting psychological reaction. The father of Brown became obsessed with the determination that his child, whether boy or girl, should become a great violinist. So, at the age of 4, Eddv Brown reivd his first violin lesson. Within a year Master Brown donned his velvet suit and was escorted by his stage of an Indianapolis auditorium ii premiere recital.

Musicians were imanimous in their enthusiasm. The boy was hailed as a discovery. The great-grandmother's vision was slowly taking material form. A prodigy was born. After another boy was taken by his mother Hungary to enter training under the world renowned teacher.

Shortly after his farewell concert he left for England where he played with the London Svmriony Orchestra in Albert Hall to more than 10.000 Then he made a tour or Russia. Germany, Holland, France and Spain. His American premiere was made at the outbreak of the World War when he played the Tschaikowsky Concerto at the Metropolitan Opera House.
