looking for such a job.” In a phrase Mr. Kasin likes, ‘it was “very coincidental” like the manner in which he met the girl he was later, to marry. He had gone back-

stage in Carne, Hall to chat with a New York Philharmonic violist he knew. The violist invited him to dinner

afterward, adding, “Do you mind if my-girl cousin from California tags along? She's here in town on a short visit.” ~Mr; Kasin says, “I'm glad I didn't mind,” for it was at that dinner he got acquainted with Miss Sophie Galperin, then a UCLA student, whom he married in August, 1947,

Tapped by Uncle in 1942

THESE HAPPY coincidences followed by some years a less happy one when Uncle Sam shouldertapped, Mr. Kasin right out of the Indianapolis Symphony's first violin section in about the last week of 1942. “Everything happened so fast I didn’ t have time to think,” he says. He then was in his third season with ‘Dr. Sevitzky, and he was enjoying the chance to play good music all the time without having to depend partly on dance, show and radio jobs. From the time 12-year-old Jerome Kasin had won the 1929 New York Philharmonic scholarship offered in the borough of Brooklyn, he’d had tough going. He had studied four years with Hans Lange, the distinguished violinist-conductor. He had gone on to the New York College of Music for further study with Hans Letz, who is known still better as a Juilliard luminary in ensemble music. Young Kasin had passed his exams for Juilliard, but he couldn't take on the full program. “They required you to take all kinds of courses. I had to earn a living on the side,” he says. He's inclined to be reticent about having had to support his mother and a sister, though he gives first credit to his mother for encouraging music study. “She was all for it, thinking it would keep me off the streets. If you know Brooklyn, you know what she meant,” he. says. ‘So he took show-band, dance-band, radio jobs ~anything for needed depression-time income, while studying and practicing strenuously. He played in WPA orchestras, and succeeded in working his way up to the concertmaster’s chair in one of the larger New York WPA outfits. But the need to keep dance jobs that often ended at 3 a. m. made him too often late for § a. m. rehearsal. So they gently but firmly demoted him to a less conspicuous spot in the first fiddles—as luck would have it, shortly before Fabien Sevitzky took over the orchestra for a brief period as guest conductor, Dr. Sevitzky spotted him back among the firstfiddle outfielder§, and promptly offered him a job with the Indianapolis Symphony. There was the chance, and Mr. Kasin was doing fine here in the winters and in-New York summers, when the war interrupted plans. ~-In the Army, he was a surgical technician, remiining with a hospital in France until V-E Day. Hi8 musical ability sort of boomeranged on him when the American embassy in Paris got him transferred from the medics to a touring string quartet, spreading culture through the conquered countries, “The four of us were very anxious to
