STRING TRIO IN
LENI'Ey CONCERT
Marjorie Rich, r. Francis
and Ell. Schultz Play
Tuesday Night.
A CORDIAL AUDIENCE

1t was very cordial audience which
heard Marjorie Miller Rich, Harold
L. Schultz and Richard Francis in con-
cert, under auspices of the Woman's
Home Missionary society, at the Park
Avenue M. E. church Tuesday even
ing. Mr. Schultz has just recently
joined the trio as violinist and he
made his first public appearance with
the organization last night 1t has
been year since the Francis Rich
trio has played for any sort of public
event and in that time the work has
improved much. Improvement was es-
pecially noticeable in the tone quality
and intonation.
1t would be excellent if the trio
could be encouraged to become a part
Of the official musical world of Keno
sha- Trio literature is large and we'll
repays those who are willing to give
it serious study. Official organization
of the trio would give Kenosha
group of chamber musicians who
would develop a following as their
work developed
Mrs. Rich Has Technical Skill.
The program was opened with
Dancla's Trio OPP. lit. The second
movement was one of muted strings.
1t was played smoothly and with I'M
derstanding or meIodic values The
Minuet created an antique atmosphere
Of graceful charm and rhythmic in
terest.
Mrs. Rich offered piano solos as
the second number. She reveals good
training and technical skill She has
freedom in octaves, clarity of tone,
and ability to bring cut crossed melo-
dies. She displayed an4especially nice
sense in bringing out Schumann's
whimsicalities and vagaries.
"Kol Nidrei" On Cello.
The trio played again for the third
number. The encore to the listed Sc
lection proved their best work. They
appeared to be on more familiar
ground; there was surer information
and smoother melody.
Mr.. Francis solo group was fourth.
Max Bruch's "Kol Nidrei" was the
most interesting of his two numbers
It is lamentation of the Jews, dedi-
Gated to the Day of Atonement. AS
part of the religious ceremonial in
Observance of the holiday it voices
the appe of a repentent people, The
plaintive elody is especially effective
on the cello strings.
Fine Violin Performance.
Franz LISTS ''Liebestraume"
(Love's Dream in A fat) made great
appeal in the trio's next group. 1t
was played by request of several per-
sons who had heard it given on last
years program.
Mr.. Schultz's solo appearance was
made with group of two numbers.
He gave promise in last nights per-
Torrance of proving an important ad-
dition to the ranks of Kenoshas vi
olinists. His playing indicates a sin
cerely sympathetic appreciation of his
part in trio work and of his possibili-
ties in solo performance.
The recital was brought to a close
with another group by the trio. The

trio and individual offerings were as
