CONCERT DELIGHTS
Lovers OF MUSIC
Second Public Program Given by
New Britain Artists

A large audience at the Camp
school auditorium last evening APP
plauded enthusiastically every num-
Der on the program presented at the
second public concert of the New
Britain Musical club. The affair was
unusually enjoyable owing not only TO
the skill of the musicians but also TO
the evident care with which the pro-
gram had been prepared with hap
Ply blending of instrumental and vocal
music and a dramatic musical read
ing of Poe's THE Raven" by Mr..
Cornwall with Theron Hart at the
piano.
Once more Messrs. Hart, Anderson
and Schauffer delighted with the
spirit and understanding Of their work
on the piano, violin and cello, their
first appearance bringing instantly to
the occasion an inspiring life with
lust enough of the reflective quality
TO do full justice TO Gade's Novel
letten," OPP. 90.

Messers. Stnhlman aud Latham. in the
mixed Quartet, with Mr.. Anderson on
Ihe violin and Mrs Andzulatis at the
piano. presented Claimants spirit OF
Spring" and Nevin's ITO the Wind"
in way that tempts the use of the
word glorious. especially in refer
ence TO the latter in which the violin
al 1,t In
voices blended splendidly, Miss Waters
sustaining soprano and Miss Schade's
always sympathetic lower tones light
ening the at times more prominent
ftenor and bass of Mr.. Stuhlman and
Mr. Latham.
Mr.. Fleitzer's solos on the violin
were executed with the ease and
exactness which justified the applause
with which his appearance was re-
.ceived. His playing of keler-Bela's
~"Son of the Puszta," the last number
4 Of his group, was marked by splendid
audible presentation of the compos-
ers' conception.
i. The "Savonic Dances" D'vorak,
played by Miss Parker and Miss Tom
assoni on the piano displayed evil
dences of close study not only of the
work itself but of the Slavic tempera-
ment, and was done with rare deli
cacy and power, while the closing
number on the program, the "Espana
Rhapsodie," Chabrier, played on two
pianos by Mrs. Andzulatis and Mr..
Hart by request, gave the finishing
touch of true artistic soundness al
ways characteristic of the work OF
these musicians.
In John Prindle SCOTS "Nocturne,"
with Miss Hine at the piano and
Messrs. Fleitzer and Schauffler on the
violin and cello, Miss Meyer had
splendid opportunity to display her
sweet mezzo voice, noteworthy for the
deep mellow quality which lends it
self so well to work of this char
acter. Her singing was wholly pleas
ing, and the rhythmical swing of the
theme, with the delightful accmpani-
ment, made the number one of the
most enjoyable of the evening.
Especial interest attached to Mr..

Harris share in this different" num-
Der consisted of giving to the piano
the duty of furnishing the atmosphere
for the tragic poem of Poe's which |
was so dramatically presented by Mr.
Cornwall in his Interpretation of the
dreamer who, soothed for the mo-
ment. hoping that the ominous for
boding will lift, looks beyond the
present comparative peace with dread |
into the dreary morrow. AS Mr..
Harris deep appreciation of the SOM
