MUSIC LOVERS ENJOY
 A CHOICE PROGRAMME
ZOellner String Quartet Received By Large and Discriminating
 Audience

The Zoellner String Quartet gave a de- lightful concert in the ballroom of the Tutwiler hotel yesterday. It was the fourth and last of the Sunday musical attractions of the 1s14-15 season arranged by Mrs. Sharp and Mrs. Frazier, and despite the indictment weather the au- dience was large enough to fill nearly all the seats. And it was discriminat- ing and appreciative audience, too. Few artists have been so cordially keeeived
 The Zoellners were here d Bear ago under the auspices of the Music Study club. Their playing then did not arouse enthusiasm on the part of the critically Inclined. But at that time the acoustic properties of the hall where their per formance took place were not good-not good as compared with the Tutwiler And still more important by way of remar rk is the fact that the ensemble of the quar- tet has improved immeasu bly,. In tone duality and in rhythmic charm, as well as in ensemble finish, the Zoellners rose to a very high artistic level yesterday. The performance contained some of the old and some of the new-some modern novelties of rare beauty. It was as fol- lows:
 l. Quartet, Opus IS. No Beethoven Allegro, adagio cantabile, scherzo allegro, allegro motto quasi presto.
 2. Quartet, Op. 13 Ippolittof Iwanow). Humoresca, intermezzo
 3. Quartet in D (Gustav Samazenilh. born 1s7O. Lent Et Soutenu, Lent Et Anime.
 4. tD Music of the Spheres (Rubin- stein); tb) Orientale, from Suite Op s5 (Glazounow): Co Berceuse (Reber).
 For encores the quartet played a lovely minuet of the sixteenth century by Val O fr,rfA 1.tr poser-Glinka.
 After the concert the hope was ex- pressed that the Zoellners would return next season.
