 With the coming of two such art ists as Mme Gerville- Reache and s.--E next Wednesday, the people of Bridgeport realize once more their in- debtedness to the Wednesday After noon Musical club. Were it not for the splendid work of the women in charge of this club, the opportunities for hearing the best music in Bridge port would be sadly limited.
 X So important is this Club beeon- ing throughout the state that numer- ous applications for membership are being received from other cities and towns where the people have heard of the fine series of concerts arrang ed for the coming season.
 Quite as important as the bringing to Bridgeport of the great artists, is the tremendous stimuIous given to the efforts of students of music in this. vicinity. To play before criti- cal and at the same time sympathetic audience is an experience of great value to the young musician. This opportunity is afforded by the num- erOuS amateur concerts given during the year under the leadership of the more experienced members of the club. IL These amateur concerts have steadily increased in: merit, several of those given last year being particu- larly interesting and exciting much favorable comment.
