Quintet as the attraction. The audi
torium OF the church was filed by an
enthusiastic assemblage and the pro-
gram was one OF the very best OF
the winter. indeed. many of it's pat
rons voted II to lie distinctly super
ior to any OF its musical predecessors.
From the rendition of its first mum
ber the quintet was popular with the
audience and before the close Of the
program was decided favorite. Each
selection evoked an encore and the APP
plause was as sincere as II was well
deserved The director OF the quinte I
and first violinist, Mr.. Carl A. Lam
pert. said the heartiness OF the re-
ception extended to them by the peo-
Of Canon City was an inspiration and
was keenly appreciated. Such enthu-
siasm. he said. was not often shown
and was very gratifying TO himself and
his associates.
The program Monday night was a
classical one. but its Interpretation
was comprehensive to its patrons and
