PROGRAMME
 AT SLATER HALF
Norwich Music Association Entertains
 Apnreeiative Audience.

The entertainment provided by the Norwich Music Association in Slater Hall Annex, Monday. evening, was of a most delightful character and rath- CT a departure from the usual. The sense of intimacy. which pervades these gatherings was especially suited to the delightful musical memories given voice by General William A. Aiken who spoke to a most appre- ciatiyc and interested audience.
 The programme was opened by vio- lin solos by Miss. Helen Royce. Rom dino by Beethoven -Kreisler and Mel odie by Frimi. Miss Royce played with her usual charm and skill and was most sympathetically accompan- jed by Miss Annie s. Taft. Her. sec pecially attractive and intensely melo- dious.
 Mrs. Charles Tyler Bard gave great pleasure by her singing, her beauti- : ful voice being heard to advantage in the song. Romance, with violin dbIi- gato by Miss Royce and accompanied by MisV Taft. Especially pleasing was Come Down to Kew by Carl Deis- The pleasure Mrs. Bard's beau tiful voice gives is greatly enhanced by her perfect enunciation.
 General Aiken spoke first of his musical memories of instrumental music and soloists he had heard. The touch of hun1or given by the account of his first love being centered about 9 snare drum which he acquired ear lv in life. cnlivened all of his narra tive. He spoke of the beginning of chamber music as interpreted by Au- gust and Wolf Fries in the Mendels- sohn Quartet in Boston, and later ex- empliied in the Mason and Thomas quartet or quintet: both bodies rem dering a rather popular but wholly charming sort of music. The kneisel quartet, a little later, gave the most perfectly performed strictly intellec- tual music, while tha. of the F'lon- zaley quartet of today embodies both the temperamental and intellectual most delightfully."- and stands as the finest string quartet in the world. Two orchestras stand out pre- -cmi- nept in musical history. the Gernnania and st later date the Boston Sym phony Orchestra
