M u SIC
THIRD QUARTET CONCERT.

A thoroughly enjoyable evening OF
music was presented last night at the
| third in the series of four concert
| to be presented In the chamber music
| auditorium of the Library of Con.
gress by the National String Quartet.
| The members of the group, Henri
Sokolov, first violin; Max Pugatsky,
second violin; Samuel Feldman, viola
and Richard Lorleberg, violOncello
are well balanced as a quartet and have
showed constant Improvement in
their work In the recent series.
OneFcould not ask better glasping of
the biithe, light spirit of Mozart thar
this quartet infused especially in the
first two movements Of that com
poser's charming Quartet in c." the
first Of the famous seXtet of quartetS
dedicated to Joseph Hayden. Each
instrumentaiist seemed to know eX-
actiY what he was doing and what
the others wore going to do. The
quaint int"icacieS OF the harmonic
patterns were clearly defined yet with
a legatO in phrasin that made the
whole work delightful.
The other quartet. the closing num-
Der. was the Quartet. opus p. in G
Minor" by Grieg. q, b,':llian work Of
fascinating. rich melodies and written
with sure, firm Dharascs that the quar-
tct gave excellent interpretations,
There is nothing indecisive or 1imid
about Grieg'S music. Il is refresh

many nelodic glimpses into the com
posei's ''!'ecr Gynt Suite" in the diff.
ferent movements of this quartet, es,
peciaiiy into "Anittu's Dance" and
The Hal! Of the Mountain King"
There are some rhythmS that seem
almost Spanish in their lure and
swing; others are typically Nordic.
The entire work is one that could
stand frequent repetition.
In the middle of the program last
night came two delicate old French
airs. arranged for voice. with stringed
instruments as accompaniment. Helen

deserter from Fort Monmouth with
an alleged mania for attacking people
stripping them and throwing them
down wells, is under heavy guard at
the government reser walton. Friday
while officers are seeking to draw the
net Of evidence that may link him to
at least two other crimes tighter
around him.
Richardson faces military charges
Of desertion, fraudulent enlistment

attack on an officer and highway rob-
berry. These grew out Of the North
Carolinian's escape from the camp

bis alleged depredations since the
escape. Joseph Mazz a Newark
taxicab driver is in critical condi-
ton at the Monmouth Memorial hos
pital with wound in his side caused
when Richardson allegedly fred point
blank at him.
The additional evidence that the
military authorities seek has to do
with the disappearance on the day
Richardson escaped of Private Hill

camp, and robbery in Jersey City.
The sentry disappeared on the
morning Of May 8, when Richardson.

forced the sentry to leave the camp.

military authorities that extended
from coast to coast, no clue as to the
gentry's whereabouts has been
learned.
