Boston Symphony Quartet.

The first of the three concerts which tho
Boston Symphony Quartet will give in
Washington this winter will take place In
the ball room of the New Willard Hotel
on Wednesday afternoon. December ), at
4 o'clock. The work of building up a ell
entele for a string quartet is usually q
slow and laborious task. The public demand
for chamber music is very limited and IL
is usually difficult to get it to accept a
strange organization. For this reason
the patronage given last year in Wash
fngton to the Boston Symphony Quartet
was all the more gratifying to the man
agement of the Boston symphony Orches-
ira, from which organization the quartet
is drawn. The composition of the quartet
is the same last year, Prof. Willy Hess,
concert master of the Boston symphony
Orchestra. being the leader: Otto Roth Sec
ond violin; Emile Ferir. viola. and Helm
rich Warnke. Viooncello. Prof. Hess has
also secured a number of most interesting
novelties. and his programs. always models
of their kind promise to be more delight
full than ever. One of these novelties viii
be played next Wednesday afternoon. II
is a string quartet by Hugo Kaun. which
had its first performance in America in
Boston on the 10Th of last month. The
assisting artist at this concert Will be Mr..
Hiram O.. Tucker of Boston. pianist most
favorably known in that part of the coun-
try. The program will include Beethoven

Karmata Travelogues.

The third OF the Karmenta travelogues
will be given at the Columbia Theater Fri
day afternoon. December T. the subject will
be Japan" The pictures of this travelogue
are typical and beautiful. Among the list
are scenes from Yokohama, Toxic and XII
otto, Geisha dancers, a view of the great
temple procession at Nikko Perhaps
among the most interesting of the moving
pictures Is the reception at Toxic OF Ad-
mral Togo and other naval heroes after
the battle of the straits. Many of the col
ored views shown display the great love
of. the japanese for their native flowers
and how much they are used as back
ground for the home life. The brilliant col
oring of the wisteria, lotus flowers, chrys-
anthemums and cherry blossoms woven
into all the scenes leaves a lasting impress
sion upon the mind of the tourist.
