TRIO DE LUTECE TO PLAY AT
 JEFFERSON THIS EVENING

The coming of the Trio de Lutcce this evening at the Jefferson theatre under the auspices of the Music Study club will be Interesting to many to learn how this famous trio really got it's name It is said that ever since their early student days Barrere, Ise- fer and Salzedo have been playing to- gether. first at the Paris conserva- toire. they did so to acquire that fine training in ensemble playing which is theirs. Later they continued to do so because they so thoroughly enjoyed playing together, and finally they have banded themselves together to do so because others enjoyed them. For long they played in this wise without be- ing known except as individuals, but the demand constantly grew, and so a permanent organization was forme5, and then came the question of a ,.aTne.
 A little meeting of the three artists and their manager took place in Mr. Salzedcs studio. and the momentcua problem was discussed. Name upon name was suggested and rejected. "We ized American citizens" said Refer. Lets call it the Franco-American Trio" Sounds like soup" came the answer in a chorus Salzedo next ven- tured something about "Les Mem sfrelles." but minstrels in English are not likely to convey just that degree of aristocracy in music which the name of this trio should convey. You're all Parisians." suggested the manager, why not the Parisian Trios" "Restaufant stuff" quoth Bar rere.

Once upon tinic, In the early days of civilization, when St. Genevieve was converting heathens, before ever the Romans set foot upon the soil. what is now Paris was known as Lutetia. Why not call our trio that?"
 And so it became the trio of the three Lutetians--the Trio de Lutece: Rarrere. flute; Sa1zedo, harp, and Kc- fer, cello. "Of course, folks will per sist in calling it the Lettuce Trio" says it's manager, ''but we all have 10 go through our salad days"
