MURIEL KERR AND THE
 STRADAVARIUS QUARTET

"Muriel Kerr's concert here last night was pronounced greatest suc- cess of any musical event in the history of Peabody College" So ran the wire received by Recital Manage ment Arthur Judson after Muriel kerr's recent debut in Nashville. Wherever Muriel Kerr appears, her success is instantaneous, and wires much like the above are constantly received by her managers.
 On February 27, 1930. Miss Kerr apeared before the well-known We'd nesday club of Harrisburg. "Muriel Kerr recital a tremendous success. Audience completely captivated," was the report that the Judson of- flee received the next morning from the president of the club.
 When Miss Kerr recently was solo, : ist with the Cincinnati Symphony or chestra at pair Of their concerIs. the manager of the orchestra tela- graphed, Splendid Artists. Except icnal Success"
 These are but a few typical ex- amples of the reports which are con- tinually pouring in on Murial Kerr's successes in her coast to coast tour. This youthful artist, who is still in her teens, will appear in recital here on January 13, 1891 at Buckingham Eall with the Stradavarius string quartette.

DEAN WINTERNITZ
 TO SPEAK HERE
At Annual Meeting of Mat tatuck Historical
 Society
DOCTOR THEN AND NOW''

It is expected that the annual meeting of the Mattatuck Historical society. which will be held at 119 West Main street tomorrow eve ling at 8:15 o'clock. will be one of the most interesting ever held by that organization.
 The speaker will be Milton c. Winternitz, dean of the Yale Medi- cal school whose subject "The Doctor Then and Now" promises many in teresting and humorous bits of in- formation about the methods used hy the doctors from the dim historic past through the days of the old fashioned country doctor to and in- cluding the high aims and ideals now being urged upon the medical profession by the Institute of Hu- man Relations at Yale and it's affi- Hated organizations.
 Dean Winternitz, who is one of the greatest leaders of scientific medicine today as well as student of the methods and practices of long ago. is one of the leading progress sivOs in medical science. He was prominently connected with the famous Johns Napkins school in Baltimore. He was strongly rec commended by Dean Welch as the best known general scientist in the world and the most promising man I'r Welch could think of to take charge of the Yale Medical school On new lines. This. consisted in. in-a tensive training for comparatively few well selected candidates as against large medical schools where the student learns what he can with out any special observation. The result has been that with classes limited 10 50 and outstanding pro- fessDrs literally thousands of appli- cants are refused admission and no school has the same unique prestige in the United States. This has been accomplished by Dean Winternitz.
 He is a man of rare sympathy wiih human beings in every direction. He is building up the great group of the Institute of Human Relations at Yale, whose buildings run into mill lions. When this group comes into activity 1t will be undoubtedly an institution that will attract students and lead to Implications from and in all parts of the world.
 Dean Wfnternitz is always more than willing to pay tribute to the old fashioned doctor as being more effective n many ways than his sue cessor, the specialist of today. He is very interesting offhand speaker as all will testify who have heard him. and his coming here through the Mattatuck Historical society is l great compliment to this society and to Waterbury.
 In order that everybody can bene- fit by this talk there will be no charge for admission to those who are not members of the society.

morning musicales sponsored by
Mrs. Townsend, seemed yesterday IN
exceptionally good voice. She Is, IN
fact. our idea of the ideal artist.
A soprano who doesn't mind occa-
sionally becoming an alto-and a
good one, at that--her lower notes
are strong and clear, and vibrantly
exciting. When this lady sang the
Moussorgsky Cradle Song OF Death"
Yesterday there was as much emo
ton visible in the audience as there
was with her-and that meant that
she had very definitely rung true.
There Is, furthermore, as much
pathos in Miss Koshetzs voice as
there is in half dozen other ladies
who rate very high in the limelight
of the prima donna world. She can,
too. sing a song without accompanl-
ment, and get away with it-and she
can sit down at the piano and play
her own accompaniment and more
than get away with 1t. And thus,
one might say, she is whole show
in herself-which is putting 1t mildly.
The best Of her singing yesterday
there was nothing that wasn't way
beyond the halfway point-waS the
Moussorgsky, the Migot Les Ballad
ms" the Sadero "Amuri-Amuri. ana
the "Jota" from the Seven Songs
Of SPAIN" by de Falla.
Miguel Llobet, making his first APP
pearance here, touched that rather
obsolete instrument, the guitar, ana
brought forth from 1t such music as
one would scarcely believe possible.
In the Tarrega "Reve," for instance.
one could have sworn that there was
a second instrumentalist playing
behind the scenes, so difhcult ana
intricate seemed the passages he was
plucking. And among the most sue.
cessful things he played, were TWO OF
his own compositions, as well as the
Sors "Minuet" and the de Falla
"Gipsy Song" from lei Amor Brujo."
All in all, the festival will have TO
stir itself to do better than this
morning program.

The crates reinforced by metal strips
