Vending Quartet
Shows Sound Merit
I'm New York Debut
Manly, Unaffected Playing
of ForeigIiers Triumphs
Over Roger Compositions
at Town Hall Concert
By Fl. T.. Krehbiel

Ynasmuch as 1t has been the manifest
purpose Of musical Europe to live off
the United States for long time to
come, we must be prepared to welcome
visitors from every European country.
Thus far the greatest invasion has
come from Russian Judea, and it has
not reached its height. The genuine
Slavic element is not largely repre-
sented yet. We note only such entirely
welcome representatives as Mr.. Rach-
maninoff, Mr.. Siloti and the Ukrainian
National Choir; but more will come as
the feeding grounds Of Germany,
France and England are exhausted.
Metropolitan Opera House opens it's
doors. Meanwhile, since the opening
Of the season, scarcely fortnight ago,
our hospitality has been asked only by
little band Of men singers from
Baden that Is not likely to trouble the
waters greatly, and the Vending String
Quartet, which, after it had been hand
somely introduced by the Berkshire
Chamber Music Festival in the last
week Of September, appeared in Town
Hall last night to receive New York's
verdict. p %ee
Bohemians Sail To Be Duo
There have been runiors for a year
of the. possible advent Of the Rose
Quartet, Of Vienna, and the Lehner
Quartet, which, though composed of
Bohemians, has been supported in
Florence by. gentleman who owns
Brooklyn as his original home. Per-
haps neither it nor the Rose Quartet
ought to be counted In the German
contingent; and, at any rate, they
seem to be hesitant, an attitude which
is easily, explained. Chamber music
is an. aristocratic form of art, and
the field which has been sufficiently
large, despite the wide and excellent
leys.
The size Of the audience in Town
Hall last night cannot have been cheer
ing to the visitors, though it's charac-
ter was. So was the measure of ap-
probation given TO Mr., Vending and
his associates, The listeners were at
tentive and generous Of applause.
Their knowledge of what constitutes
good music and good playing was in
evidence all evening. It was plain that
they recognized the Organization was
one Of sound merit in most OF the ele-
ments which enter into good en-
semble. Obviously, they enjoyed the
unaffected, manly sincerity of the per-
formers Quite obviously, also, they
recognized their deficiencies. A quartet
by Roger in E fiat, Opus. 100, was heard
| with that courteous interest which the
cognoscenti always exhibit toward un-
familiar works, and the performer
were amply rewarded with applause
More than amply, we feel, If there was
in the applause any large tribute te
the composition.
Rogers Novelty an Ordeal.
Roger is an important enough figure
in music to challenge hearing 70,
whatever novelty he may offer. Listen.
ing to this work, however, was duty
which brought with it little compen-
satory pleasure. It's workmanship oc.
cupied the mind, but there was nothing
in its contents to delight the ear OF
| touch the emotions. The intellectual
reward was negligible.

:. q am writing you in behalf of my mother who was murdered last July by my father, William P. Donovan, near Bloomingdale, for which he was sentenced to death June 1. q understand there are 'many eff forts being made to get his sentence changed to life imprisonment by his relations. I want to say to you and the Board that I do not want his sem tence changed.
 q am IT years old and was an eye witness to the brutal murder. My mother was surely the best woman that ever lived. She was shot down with my little baby sister in her arms without any cause whatever.
 q have seen her beaten, knocked down aid mistreated in many ways since I have been old enough, to re- member and because she loved us children she made the best of it she could.
 "My father has always been an overbearing man and had lots of trouble, but he cares for no one but himself, not even us children.
 "1n conclusion I want to say again, the sentence that was given him is just what he deserves, and when you have heard the facts you will not be surprised at this letter."

Such a Resolution Is Adopted at . General Mass Meeting

Although the meeting of eX-serv- icemen held in Lees hall last night was to foster a better spirit among the various X-servicemens organza tions, before the gathering had ad- journed the former soldiers present had adopted resolution endorsing the candidacy of George A. Quigley for mayor.
 Captain Charles F.. lockhart of New Haven made a stirring appeal to the $50 eX-servicemen present.
 He likened the present con- dition among the eX-serVicemen to that which arose after the Civil War and the Spanish American war. He said that the men in those days wore just as much as they are at the present time, As the years passed by, those men became organ ized and at the present time arc the most respected and be- loved citizens in the country.
 Stop Criticism.
 He urged the men to stop criticiz- ing the government. Don't stand around the corners and crab this one and that one, don't cast aspcr- sions on this organization or that one.
