CO. MIR. Loose is not a regular member
Of the quartet, but is substituting
while the regular cello player is in
the government service. 1t would take
person Of keen perception, however,
to discover from the work Of the four
artists any change in the personnel
/ Of the organization.
| For its opening number the quartet
| rendered Beethoven $ Quartet in G
Minor, the most prctentious number,
| and for its closing selection it gave
a symphony by .Dclibes Mouton, per
| haps less masterful but more pleasing
! TO an average audience, while in be
( tween there were several selections III
/ which the melody was more pronounced
and more appealing TO the listeners. IN
all of these reuditions the exquisite

aud their delightful ensemble work
| justified an the praise that has fol
lowed their work elsewhere, and they
would be welcomed here again. An adj
ditional number, Spring, by Grieg, was
received with applause and after the
program was completed the quartet,
in order to appeast the desire of the
audience, repeated the las. two move
ments of the symphony.
Two members of the organization
were heard in solo numbers, Miss Jones
and Miss Turner, both responding L
cucores. 1t is seldom that there is op
portunity to hear viola solos in Brat

with rare grace and charm, producing
beautiful tonal effects and manifcstml
