THREE of the famous four sat in

Ted Morse. captain of the crew, rose,
and dramatically pounding his tanned

Ted took the floor.
This is the way things stand: We're

From below came this horrible sound !:
so threatening that it froze them all
with fear. Looking down, they saw the
Great Brown Dragon coiled IN crotch
of the tree, as high up as the branches
would bear his weight. His head was
swaying this way and that ana MS

Rollo boldly made face at the huge
snake, then ne glanced around, and his
look of defiance turned to one of anx

said was true. They were in a trap,
The tree in which they rested rose SC
high above the other trees of the jungle
that it seemed to stand apart. They
could not reach the other tree tops un

lower there was the Great Brown

FLONZALEY QUARTET
IN FINE CONCERT
Gives Excellent Performance of
Ravel and Beethoven
String Quartets

The Flonzaley Quartet gave its second
concert of the season before the Chamber
Music Association in the ballroom of the
Bellevue-Stratford yesterday afternoon.
Two quartets were played, the NJ major of
Ravel and the G major op SO, No. 8. OF
Beethoven The compositions formed a strong
contrast to each other but more In spirit
than in sound, for the Beethoven sounded
as fresh and as modern as the Ravel COM
position.
The Ravel quartet came first on the pro-
gram. 1t is one of the most significant OF
modern French chamber compositions, stand
ing on a plane with the Debussy G. minor
quartet and only little below that model
Of all modern French quartet writer's. the
D minor OF Cesar Franck. In spirit and orig
inaity the Ravel far outclasses other mod
ern French quartets-those of DIndry. Faure
and others
The composition is more strictly written
than the Debussy quartet and there Is in IL
Il decided tendency to use the various in
struments as strictly solo voices with ac-
compartments in the other three parts
rather than the more strict four-part writ
ing. which is the basis of classical quartet
composition. This shows the color OF the
various instruments to the best advantage
but there is an undeniable loss of the real
string quartet feeling in places. The Ravcl
quartet. however. is always clear as to its
thematic material and equally distinct as to
tonality being thus in welcome contrast TO
many OF the modern French quartets
There is no necessity for comment on the
Beethoven number. which IL the last of the
three Rasonmoffsky quartets, and therefore
well known to quartet players and concert
goers. 1t is one of the great quartets Of all
time. both in thematic material in the won
derful development of the themes and in
its close adherence throughout to the ideal
quartet feeling.
The work of the Flonzaleys is likewise too
we'll known to need more than n word They
showed that remarkable finish and ensemble
which they possess, and which comes ONLY
from years of practice together The Ravel
with its impetuosity and intense emotional
ism, is perhaps better suited to the tempcra =
ment and style of the Flonzaley Quartet than
the serene classicism Of Beethoven. At all
events they played Rafel better, there be-
ing an occasional tendency to exaggerate in
Beethoven, especially in the introduction.

WELFARE WORKERS AID

Transport workers say there is no one
