Philharmonic Concert Was
 Big Success

With splendidly arranged pro- gram, the Bridgeport Philharmonic orchestra, Dr. Giovanni E. Conterno, director, gave it's initial concert yes- terday afternoon in Polls theatre.
 During part one of the recital. "Consolation,'' written by Dr. Con terno, was played. This is the open ing number the Second Orchestral Suite,'' a new work dedicated to the "F'rolic,'' Remembrance and Happi- ness' are the other numbers in this work. There was celestial Sweetn ess in the rendition of Gabriel Pferne's "Serenade,' and the part for violins only was especially appealing. AS a concluding number for the first part of the program, August Berger. one of the finest violinists in the city, played ''Legend,'' by Henri Wieniaw- ski, and Edouard Laio's Symphonic Espagno1e." The lifting quality, in lightfulness of the latter work, was heartily applauded by an appreciative audience.
 One Of the biggest features of the afternoon was ."Piano Concerto, in D Minor," by Anton Rubinstein, repro duced on the ADlpico piano from the actual piece. This is the first time that the Ampico Reproducing Piano and a full orchestra have been heard together, in the city.
 The concluding selections were positions Adagio, c. Allegro c. An dante. Menuetto, and Finale, Allegro Spirito c, by Franz Josef Hydn. The magnificent Grand March from fDer Tannfauser," eliminated a most suc- cessfu1 program and concert.

DENVER MAN PATENTS PLAN FOR AUTO
 HOTELS"

Denver, Nov. 2s.-The motor ho- tel'' is a possibility of the near future. according to Leontdas L. Moe, of this city, inventor and patentee of the iatest> automobile accessory"
 Demand for more adequate automo- bile housing facilities in almost every city in the country will be met by this novel motor hotel plan, declares Moe, adding that the constantly-tncreasing use of the autom obile as @ means of transportation for both business and pleasure and the dangers of street parking create 8 real need for motor hotels in all cities for transient and permanent use.
 new idea in building and operation as related to the automobile industry, Moe said. "Its purpose Is to house and protect automotive vehic1es-do it on a large scale and at a moderate cost to the car owner.
 The motor hotel Is a spacious fireproof building, so constructed that any car owner may drive his car, on it's own power, without a nom ent delay, into the building and, by a partly circular driveway, from floor to floor into a space or room.
 ''The automobile will thus be pro tected from weather conditions: thieves and accident and will be off the congested city streets.
 Entrance and exit to the motor hotel will be by means of a. double spiraP incline, or driveway, with an easy grade, and cars going out and coming in will not come in contact with each other"
 The motor hoteT' idea has been patented, and a company composed largely of Denver men has been form ed to establish the plan in various cities. The company does not plan to build the structures, but will grant permits for the use of the patent to capitalists upon a royalty basis.
