attendance last evening saw how
these experts. who have given the
public the Water Gate concerts,
put their idea into execution.
At the far side of the pool where
the Buchanan Statue stands, a shell
was erected. silver gray in color and
simple in design, with a canopy of
striped dark blue and silver merging
into blue background. The space
around the four sides of the pool
was occupied by rows of chairs and
here the audience sat, with the
quiet water rejecting the colorful
scene. The lighted fountains gave
the only illumination before the
concert began and during the in
termlSSlon, the murmur of their
play being stllled while the program
was in progress. So orderly was the
arrangement that the presence Of
such large crowd in no way de-
tracted from the symmetrical plan
Of this portion Of the park.
While the beauty of the situation
held the attention on arrival, it
was forced into the background on
the appearance of the artists of
the program, the Primrose String
Quartet. MI. Cappel, manager of
this series, made a short speech in
which ne apologized for the Is
minute delay in starting due to the
large attendance, wished those
present many evenings of pleasure
in these concerts arranged for their
enjoyment, and introduced the
artists.
With the presentation of the
Primrose Quartet, the members of
which are Oscar Shumsky and Josef
Gingold, violins; William Primrose.
viola, and Harvey Shapiro, cello.
another superb ensemble group was
added to those already known here.
All four musicians are artists of
distinction and as a group they are
outstanding for the warmth and
richness Of their combined tone and
the elan OF their playing. If the
full melloWneSs of Mr.. Primrose S
viola and resonant, expressive tone
OF Mr.. ShumSkys violin seem al
times the choicest of the four. the
other instruments are in equally
capable hands.
The program selected for this
debut event leaned to the melodic
and more appealing side. Between
Mozart's Quartet in D Minor. K. V
AL. the opening number. and
Smetana's Quartet in F Minor
which concluded the list, were
programmed charming short
number, The Flowers of the For
est from John Blackwood Nc
EWen's ninth string quartet. the
Scherzo and Andante Cantabile
from Tschaikowsky' first uuarte,
and the quartet arrangement OF
Gralneer's Molly on the Shore. ;
The extraordinary unity of feeling
between the musicians, their we'll
blended tone, the fire and musician
ship of their Interpretation. made
their playing of these works memo
rable. Although the amplifcation
system was not adjusted completely
to the needs of the environment
the program could be heard from
the farthest seat and the response
Of the audience to it was enthusi-
aStic.
AT the conclusion. with the ap-
plause soliciting encores, the An
dante Cantablle was repeated and
Mendelssohn's "Scherzo" played in
addition. The second program of
this week, on Friday evening, will
be given by the same artists assisted
by Betty Humbv. pianist, with the
Schumann Quintet in z Flat
Major"

SCULLY CONFERS
 WITH GOVERNOR
Discussion Believed Enter ed On Trade School
 For Waterbury
BY RAYMOND J. FITZPATRICK Democrat Legislative Reporter)

BY RAYMOND J. FITZPATRICK
 Democrat Legislative Reporter)
 State Capitol, Hartford, Feb. 5. Mayor Vincent Scully of Water bury this afternoon was in confer ence with Gov. Robert A. Hurley, the subject of their talk being the proposed Waterbury trade school and other bills affecting the Brass City.
 The mayor arrived at the Capitol early this afternoon and immedi- ately went into conference with Governor Hurley who yesterday di- gressed from his budget message and tables to announce through the press that he would see that funds were provided for a Water bury trade school if the Legislature approved the measure calling for such an institution.
 It was believed that while talking with the governor Mayor Scully would seek to ascertain how much money the state would actually ap- propriate for the trade school. This and other information is desired before the text of the trade school bill. which was filed last Friday by Senator Edward P. Egan, is supplied. At present the bill is in blank form.
 Under the law the city must supply the land and erect the building. while the state furnishes equipment hires teachers and pays their salaries. The city must also pay for maintenance, such as lights, heat. and janitor service.
 It was thought possible that Mayor Scully might also discuss other city administration bills. such as pro- posed charter changes, with Cover. nor Hurley today.
