Giving a free public conccA ir

Giving a free public conce~ in school auditorium is one thing; getting an appreciatiye audience is quite another. At the Elihu Bur rltt. Jr,, high on North street last night the New Britain Musical club had everything it's own way. TAkro was unfettercd applause aplcnty as a program of unwontcd interest and commanding merit was un- furled.
 The Mendelssohn trio, tho star chamber music organization of New Britain and Hartford and per- haps of the state, was the back bone of the concert, this in itself being guarantee of excellence. There was two-pano playing by Theron w, Hart and Mrs. Emile Andzulatis, and by Mss Frances Parker and Miss Gertrude Hinc, and singing by Miss Laura r. Far rell. Mrs. Inga Ernest Roberts ana Kenneth Roberts. The trio mem- bers were Herbert Anderson, vio- linist, Roy o. Futile, 'cellist. and MT. Hart Pianist. Miss Florence Iomassont and Mrs. Andzulatis were accompanies for the singing.
 The trio presented two novelties. the first being the first opus of Mr. Beethoven.
 The skilled touch Of Mcssrs. An derson, Futile and Hart was cm- ployed in another novelty later. Atter giving an cntrancing reading Of Arensky's radiant "Elcgic," MT. Hart announced that the noxt num- Der by Beethoven would not be played, but in its place would come one of the recent compositions ot George Hahh of New Britain. The piece was 9 Petite Valsc," from a suite dedicated 10 the trio.
 The valse was played in a suavc rubato style. as belits it's mood. Players and members of the musi- cal club insisted they liked it greatly.
 Being engaged in discussing the trio music, it may be best to con- tinue to the end of it's offerings. Norwegian dances by Gricg-not tho plano solo dances, but those writ fen for trio performance-Wcre spir- tied examples of this composers style and were well received 4 famous Tschaikowsky valse in B 1lat--a twin brother in vigor and brllance to the "Tlower Waltz" and almost as well known-ended the trio's fine work and the concert.
 Judging by volumo of applause, the two-piano offerings of Mrs. And @ulatis and MT. Hart made a huge impression. The players made the two pianos sparkle with ~brilliance in their closing offering, scherzo by Saints -Saens, one played here last year by Meyer and Pattison. The hearty response was very gratifying to both players, who filled a niche on the program upon short notice due to the illness of another pianist who had been originally booked to play at the concert Mrs, Andzu ltlllO dIlu MI Jldl tLl V Ip NiO llllD DOl ant two-piano work before the sea son is over-the first playing of suite by MT. Hahn. Mrs. Andzulatis maintained her portion of last nights work in magnificent fashion, proving a splendid foil for the dash ing briliance of her partner.
 The vocalists always get a glow ing reception. Those last night in the order of their appearance were Miss Farrcl, accompanied by Mrs. Andzulatis at the piano, and Mir. and Mrs. Kennth Roberts, with 4isa Florence Tomassoni at the Key board; and then Mir. Roberts him. self.
 Miss Farrel's best was "The Winds fin the South" by John PrindIe Scott, which is regarded as one of the fin est of American songs. She gave a splendid rendition and was tendered cordial applause,
 Mir. and Mrs. Roberts, well know ing how to arouse warm emotions in an audience, offered Hldachs "Thc Passage Birds Farewell" one of the stellar duets in duetdom. The bcau- tifu climax as usual with these singers, was of the roof-raising variety. The wrist t-breaking homage that ensued was very neat profit for the effort.
 Mr. Roberts appeared alone in a brace of admirable songs, ending with Captain Mac" by Sanderson, rollicking sea song done in rollick- ing way. The humorous dcnoument made everyone feel like Captain Macs.
 There being two pianos on hand, 1t was fitting that there be more two piano playing. Miss Frances Park CT and Miss Gertrude Hine officiated at the instruments upon this oCCa- sion and right smartly did they per form, giving a spirited reading of the Kirschner valses, op. S6, The valses had more subtlety than bril- liance, but the players had no diff. fculty in establishing their moods

 Thus the most satisfying school
