COMMUNICATED \NENT PUBLIC AUDITORIUM
Musical Club Members Think Public Hall Would Be Fitting War Memorial.

The New Britain Musical club, whose campaign for associate mem - DCrs is being made this week is to be a community affair. It wishes to be known as d municipal organization and it will endeavor to serve our whole city through the channels of musical art.
 The membership of the club is un- limited and is open to all lovers of music. and those generally interested in the fine arts, irrespective of na- tionalitN race, or creed.
 The club wishes to serve the com munity eventually by a series of con- certS free to the general public of New Britain. The only condition which prevents such a movement in this city is the absence of suitable hall in which to hold such concerts.
 The club invites the attention of the city officials of New Britain to the very great need of a municipal auditorium where public lectures and concerts could be held for the mutual uplift and enjoyment of the people.
 What better mem orial to our heroes of the late war could be undertaken :? How could their memory he better pcrpctuated than through the beauti- full in music and the wonderful in sci ence? What more fitting monument could be had than this beautiful pub lie building?
 The New Britain Musical club can conducting a drive for associate m em = berS this week and it is hoped that the public will respond heartily. It is. however. impossible to reach every music lover in the city, and those who wish to affiliate themselves with the club are urged to mail written applica- tions accompanied by the annual dues of S5, to Miss Florence TOmmaSoni, chairman of the mem mbership commit tee not later than Saturday of this week
 The Ne Britain Musical club can sa fely say to the public of New Brit ain that in the event of a municipal audit orium in this city, the club will see to it that New Britain is placed upon the musical map and that the worlds greatest artists will be brought here.
 The club extends greetings to the New Britain Choral society. the Catho- lie Choral union, the New Britain Glee club and other musical organizations in the city and wishes to cooperate with them in making New Britain big ger and better musically.
