unfolded the music not as a work of

sity. be limited, the pleasure is the
greater for the change from the
formal concert hall to a setting ap-
proximately more closely that OF
the period when chamber music
flourished.
The personnel of the Pro Musica
group has undergone some changes
this year, the members now being
Owen Lusak and Jeno Sevely
violins; Theodor Podnos, viola, and
William Brennand, cello. At this
first concert, the ensemble showed
an excellent blending and gives
promise of still finer unity in the
future The artists play with
musical feeling and personal con-
ception of the music that is con-
vincing.
Yesterdays program drew mostly
on their lyric tone without any great
demands on emotional depth or
intensity. 1t consisted of but two
quartets, that of Shostakovich and
Brahms quartet in A Minor -
Although these two composers are
separated not only by time but
by a complete revolution in living
and thinking, these works from their
pens showed certain affinity. 1t is
especially remarkable in the case
of Shostakovich, whose symphonies
have expressed a political angle un-
dreamed of in Brahms time.
The quartet by the Soviet COM
poser was first played at a music
festival following his rehabilitation
in the eyes of his compatriots. Its
success was so overwhelming that
the entire quartet had to be played
a second time. This is all the more
remarkable, since there is no trace
of the political and economic ideas
he glorifled in music and much OF
the straying into other paths Tor
which he suffered disgrace for a
short time by having his music
banned from public performance In
Russia.
What impresses itself Immediately
in the quartet is its lighthearted-
ness and its poetry. Almost the only
somber bit in it is the opening meas
ures of the second movement, where
the viola and cello have a nostalgia
melody, beautifully expressed. The
mood soon changes, however, into
something of a pastorale and moves
on in greater gayety that is folklike
in character. In fact. in this work
Shostakovich is not the preacher OF
Evening star., 1941-11-25

political theology but a Russian of
the soil, with an appreciation of his
rich folk heritage.
The Brahms quartet continued in
the poetic vein of the Russian work
except for more profound indica-
tions, more emotion veiled in lyric
guise and more spiritual beauty. The
main contrast was to be found in
the transparency of the Shostako-
vich work against the depth of
Brahms. The Pro Musica group was
thoroughly prepared in It's inte'pre-
tation OF both and the polished per-
formance was acclaimed by the large
audience present.

The Stars Special News Service
MINNEAPOLIS. Nov. 25.-In a
bus which used to haul passengers,
University of Minnesota scientists
soon hope to haul a big load OF
lightning around the countryside.
From the bus they will shoot 300.-
0O0-volt lightning strokes at Sc
lected targets in rural lighting and
power systems and equipment. The
purpose Is to find out how sturdy
such equipment must be to stand up
under the thunderstorms CT the
Northwest.
The work is conducted by Profs.
J. M. Bryant and Morris Newman
of the Minnesota Electrical Re-
search Laboratory.
Lines Often Struck.
The lightning bus promises to be
of special usefulness because of the
Federal Governments rural electri-
fication program For the first
time, many farmers are getting
electricity over power lines. These
lines, being in the country, are .aid
to be hit rather often by lightning.
Transformers. which cost up to
$4,000 each, need protection to
prevent lightning from cutting of
the power for long periods. The
Minnesota lightning bus is equipped
TO shoot bolts that may show up
weaknesses that can be remedied.
One objective is power line eys-
tenn which the Northern States
Power Co. is setting up for the
university on an island In the
Mississippi River here. The scien-
lists will shoot at this outfit to
learn more about protection.
Trees Don't Protect Houses.
Prof. Newman says a prevalent
notion that trees around a house
protect it from lightning is not true.
He car demonstrate with a $500
volt charge that lightning will skip
| from trees to house.
One troublesome rural lightning
problem, blown out fuses, Is the
object of special research. Hun
dreds OF farmers are being asked to
forward their blown-out fuses to
the university to be studied in the
search for more satisfactory rural
fuse.
