The Schumann Quintet, the most
highly appreciated musical company
ever on the Chautauqua program at
Richmond, has again been secured to
fill the place of the Zedeler Symphonic
Quintet, which has disbanded because

highest musical circles in Chicago.

have the chair of music at the Uni
versity of Kentucky at Lexington this
winter.
Israel Berger, the violinist, seems to
be one of the youngest members to
have been on the Richmond platform
for some time, but his ability has the
highest appreciation from Chicago cir
cles. He mas done solo work with the

has been with the Chicago Symphony
Orchestra, and fills his place with the
others. He may be drafted this fall

PLEASE AUDIENCE

Richmond is appreciative of her
own. The prelude, given by Mrs.
Charles Igleman and the Misses Nus
baums Monday evening was encored
again and again by the crowded au-
dience which not only filled the au-
ditorium but crowded the outskirts
of the tent
All four of the members presented
a charming stage appearance, which
together with their excellent musical
ability made up the most highly ap-
preciated number on Mondays pro-
gram.
Mrs. Igleman, who recently has been
studying in Chicago, presented The
Villa Of Dreams and Gay Butterfly,
accompanied by the trio, in manner
that would have done credit to pro-
fessional, and to the heart of every
one in the crowd.
Miss Lucille Nusbaum with both the
cello and piano, Miss Corrine with
the violin and Miss Juliet at the piano,
played with a spirit that made their
classical numbers on the program as
appreciated as their popular numbers.

then sliced to serve on pineapple, or
on tomato, with mayonnaise dressing
and lettuce to garnish the dish.
Another salad was tuna fish with
rice, and one an attractive fruit dress
ing which required no vinegar.
