chamber music concerts at Meridian
Park Tuesday night For the first
time in the United States music for

the audience grouped around the
parks rejecting pool.
The distinguished Primrose Quar-
tet will open the series, playing on
Tuesday and Friday evenings. The
organizer and leader of the ranking
quartet, William Primrose, is COM
paratively young, but he already is a
famous viola player. The son of a
violinist, Mr.. Primrose speedily de-
veloped into one of the rare viola
soloists in the concert field. His
talents have inspired several con-
temporary composers to write viola
sonatas and concerts for him.
Among them are Paul Hindemith.
Vaughan Williams, William Walton
and Nicolai BeresoWsky.
A native of Glasgow. Mr.. Primrose
for years was associated with the

find the right combination of per-
sonalitieS.

better sales of contemporary works
by American artists than for sew

private sales Of the Mackay proper

New York, items valued at S175.000

After all, it is not merely record
of high prices that gives indication
of increased fondness for art and
understanding of its significance.
The Parke-Bernet Galleries report
that thousands of items of outsrand-
ing excellence were sold to buyers
of modest means-a hopeful sign
Also, the interest seemed to have
been spread effectively over wide
field. 1t was not merely paintings
and sculpture that were sold on the
auction block in these famous sales-
rooms in New York. but furniture,
glass, Oriental objects of art, tapes

of artistic interest. A Louis XIV

pearl marquetry, by an unidentified
French craftsman of the 18th CEN
tury, brought top price at $4,000.
There was great demand for fine
silver, and handsome prices were
paid for it. In the field of Ameri-
can glass, a wisteria -colored sugar
bowl and cover brought $1,000
In addition to the $1,000 paid for

mentioned, other works by this ro-
