MUSIC LOVERS
GIVEN A TREAT
ATCHAUTAUQUA

Americas lovers of good music re-
ceived a real treat at both sessions of
the Redpath chautauqua yesterday
when the Great Lakes String Quar-
tet appeared in concert in the after
noon and the same company divid-
ed the night program with Nine. Au-
gusta Lenska, Russian prima donna.
The Great Lakes Quartet four sail
or lads, with an Instrumentation of
three violins and cello, rendered
probrams Of chamber music which is
rarely heard because the instrumental
ton for which it is written is COM
paratlVely rare, but which, because of
it is heard so seldom is none the less
charming. These sailors, who played
for President Wilson aboard his ship,
the George Washington are every
one skilled musicians, and they pro-
duce wonderful melodies from their
instruments. Their program embraced
the works of Mozart, Beethoven, Mas
senet and number of other famed
composers.
Nine. LensEa, although unknown
here, was in no wise disappointing.
She is possessed of a contralto voice
of power, sweetness, over which she
has perfect control. She sang some Is
songs, ranging from simple folk songs
to operate selections, all of which
were rendered with equal skill and
charm
Today's program is the first lack
ing in music, but is none the less in
teresting. Miss Florence Billiard, Am
erican nurse returned from the war
front is this afternoons attraction,
and Edward Amherst OFT, who has
been heard here before, will lecture
