PLEASING CONCERT .
 BY MUSICAL CLUB
Variety Adds Spice to Program
 at Capitol Theater

The New Britain Musical club to-
 day is well pleased with public re-
 action to Its first concert of the sea
 son, given in the Capitol theater
 yesterday afternoon. It was a bean-
 tiful day for automobiling and the
 communing with nature outdoors,
 facts which could not possible aid
 the attendance al the concert; but in
 spite of the ideal outdoor weather, sufficient music lovers wendCd their
 way to the theatcr and enjoyed the program sponsored by the musicians of the club,
 The concert was given free Of charge as a method of making the clubs activities more widely known. The result was the acquisition of new friends for the club and the whetting of appctites for hearing more music Of this caliber.
 The concert also began cam- raiEn for additional members of the club this year, such memberships enabling the fortunate to reserved seats at the concerts sponsored by the club during the season, which will include two concerts by nation ally known artists and four concerts by members of the club, or six in all.
 The program yesterday was pre- .ented by Emile Andzulatis, pianist Ruth Goodrich Horton, soprano; a mixed quartet composed of Ingar Earnest, soprano; Jane Sathori Tut tie, contralto; Morris Koglund, ten or, and Fred W. Latham, baritone; and the Mendelssohn Trio, composed of Theron W. Hart. pianist; Herbert F. Anderson, violinist, and Henry G. Schaufler. 'cellist.
 Mrs. Andzulatis contributed the Liszt paraphrase of the Rigoletto quartet by Verdi. supplementing rnasterly technique with exquisite tone and nuance.
 Mrs. Horton sang selection from verdi's Aida in an impressive man. ner, yielding a vibrant, dulcet tone that greatly pleased her audience.
 The mixed quartet sang four varied selections. a cradle song, a Nevin number, a vocal arrangement Of Liszt's Dream of Love, and Grieg numbers were the most inter- esting, and the former probably the best liked because of its beautiful melodies and the fact that 1t is uni versally known and loved. All the numbers were finely sung and were we'll received by the audience.
 The trio played four numbers, but one of them, a trio by Mana-Zucca, was in three movements. The other numbers were the Vaise Triste by Sibelius, a Gavotte by Beethoven, and the well known Herbert Seren- ade. The Mana-Zucca number had never been heard in this section be- fore, having just recently been pub lished. It was described as con- taining harmonic surprises, but there was surely no evidence of ex- cessive futurism. The composition was interesting and appealing, and was we'll played. That it lacked ultra modernism was indicated by the fact that most of the audience seemed greatly to enjoy it.
 Valse Triste is heard to no great CT advantage than through the medi- um of strings; its emotional con- tent, combined with haunting mel odies, can scarcely be served in any other combination so effectively. The trio yielded a highly artistic por- trayal of the mood pervading this sibelius composition and received 6 round of spontaneous ap- plause for it's achievement. The two remaining numbers also were received with evidences of satisfac- ton.
