The Jitney Players

Thanks to the hospitality of the faculty of the Pomfret School many of the residents of the town were giv- en an opportunity last Saturday eve ming to enjoy the performance of the Jitney Payers. that interesting thea trical organization which for the last seven years has been journeying around the country gypsy fashion presenting m excellent repertoire of plays. The Jitney Players were or ganized seven years ago by MT. and Mrs Bushnell Cheney. Mir. Chem ey is a son of Mir. and Mrs. Horace |. Cheney of South Manchester. Mrs. keating. under her maiden name of Alice B. keating, is the leading lady of the company.
 The piece chosen for Saturday eve ming was a melodrama of lS40 by John Latimer entitled "The Murder in the Red Barn" IL was excellent,y presented with just that touch of burlesque which gave the old piece many hilarious moments First hon ors went to David Elliott, the very heavy villain. Co Mrs. Cheney in the role of the murdered heroine and Go Harrison Down in the low comedy role. Almost as amusing as the play, which was presented before an in- genious arrangement Of backdrops-, were the advertisements presented between the acts. All in all the Play CTS provided an evening of keen en- ioyment for the school students as we'll as their guests.

TIE PATRIOT AND
 THE NURSES HOME

ing which. within a few years would be easily likened to the fire hazard of the present wood en wing of the Hospital building would. to The Patriot. be not only keenly disappointing but, for the Hospital itself. most un- fortunate.
 Also. may we register our friendly disagreement with Mir. Gilman. one of the most active and hard-working of the Hospi- tal trustees. in his statement on Friday that he believed that the needed S30.000 coui q be cas- fly raised during the coming year Looking about us, we can not find cause for any such op.i- mism. Many of those who gave most generously to the original Fund have died. Industrial con ditions in the county are in Ear more difficult condition than they were in the year that the Fund was raised. 4 serious financial crash has affected individuals and business firms alike. We be- heve that there has seldom been a year in the history of the County when it would be more difficult to raise so large a sum for a public institution.
 It is true that the Hospital is crowded to the most distressing degree. The removal of the nurs- es would bring a great relief to the institution. Therefore. our suggestion. to Mir. Gilman and bis associates is that instead of erecting a so-called temporary building he allow the present plans for the Horae to stand for the nonee. There are in Putnam at present several large houses with adequate space to accom- m0date the nursing staff. Why Lot take one of these houses, transfer to it from the Hospital t1e necessary furniture and fix lures, provide means of trans portation to and from the hospi- ial and establish Nurses Home ln the city until that day arrives
 hen pending legaeies and other gifts will make the erection of a suitable and permanent Home posslble2 To such an effort The Patriot will give it's most loyal support and will again undertake the leadership of a campaign for iands to provide transportation. neat. light. rent and other such costs. Such a fund. we believe would have general support from lhe county and from every friend of the hospital.
 As Mrs. Charles O. Thompson. by seniority and her many long years of splendid service to the Hospital remarked at Fridays meeting, this is no time to be penny wise and pound foolish" such a policy was a great hin- trance to the Hospital in it's early days To fall back upon it when the every effort of the community is towards the estab- hshment on the Hill. ultimately, or a modern. well-organized. ~eH-planned Hospital plant, would, in the opinion of the Pat not be disastrous in the extreme.

THE sWAsTTKA QUARTET

The Swastika String Quartet, through
the courtesy of the Curtis Institute Of
Music, Philadelphia, played q short pro-
gram Of chamber music last night at
the Central High School. They ap-
peared under auspices, OF the Com.
munity Institute
Starting with the familiar Beethoven
String Quartet in EFlat Major" whose
opening notes are an indication of the
wealth of its detail they next PLAYED
the italian Serenade," by Hugo Wolf,
and concluded. with the Cesar Franck
Quintet in Minor, for Piano and
String Quartet"
1t was perhaps in the second move
ment Of the Cesar Franck sonata that
this group. whose director is the emf
nent pianist josef Hofmann, were at
their best. Or perhaps it was because
the ever familiar strains of that COM
poseris sonata for violin and plano
formed the basis for the work. At any
rate, the richness Of the melody, plus q
genuine tonal quality, rendered admir-
ably by the complete blending of all
the instruments, provided some Of the
most stimulating moments of the eve
ming.
The ITALIAN Serenade" was a light.
refreshing piece coming pleaSingly after
the Beethoven sonata. which, in spots,
had seemed too much for the young
musicians. In the first movement Of
the Cesar Franck sonata, although the
piano threatened to run away with it.
there was all the variation Of light and
shade which was one of the better
characteristics Of the quartet. This
group seemed best In their more sub
dued momentS-or perhaps that is one
OF the virtues Of any quartet-still
whatever their virtues, their vices were
negligible. It was an evening Of good
performance Of lovely music wen re-

YOUNG RUSSIANS IN RECITAL.

YOUNG RUSSIANS IN RECITAL.
Two youthful Russian musicians who
had had,to flee their own country a few
years ago and found a helping hand
held out to them by Wilhelm Furt-
mangler, in Berlin, had their local debut
in recital at the Mayfower Hotel yes
terday morning.
Gregor Piatigorsky is violoncellist
OF true virtuoSity. He has appearance
of complete ease in the command Of
his technique and also a warm ringing
tone that shows this baritone of the
violin family at its resonant best
There is no scraping Of tone. and there
is remarkable f1exibility, especially in
the softer notes, as he plays Mr..
PiatigorSky puts real Souk into his play
ing, too. especially noticeable in Fresco-
baldi's "Toccata," Faure's lament and a
quaint minuet by Debussy which was
somewhat reminiscent of Mozart rather
than the Debussy that is most familiar.
"RhapSodia Italiana," by Mainardi was
given its first performance in America
on this program. 1t Is brilliant work
and as naturally melodic as its name
would imply. This work offered par
ticular opportunity to Mr. Piatigorsky'S
excellent accompanist, Valentine Paw
lovsky, with colorful bits OF piano solo
which he played admirably.
Nathan MilStein, the other soloist Of
the morning, is a violinist slightly
younger than Mr.. Piatigorsky and very
gifted. He seemed to give q rather
drab color to his first number, Fried
mann-Bach's Grave" but showed more
individuality and interpretative ability
in La Folia." by Corelli. Technically
he is more than adequate. He changed
his numbers in the last group, BY re-
quest, playing first "Asturiana,'' by de
Falla, then Ministries" by Debussy, and
lastly, the caprice by Paganini, ar
ranged by Leopold Auer, which was
given as first in this group on the print
ed program. Mr.. Milstein Won his
audience almost as completely as did
Mr.. Piatigorsky,~ and both musicians
played exceptionally fine ensemble in
Handers "PaSSacaglia" as arranged by
Halversen. Their blending of tone in
the softer passages showed fine artistic
taste. Max Rabinowitsh was a sym
pathetic accompanist for Mr.. Milstein
