progress of this gifted and success
full composer.
The Coolidge Quartet opened the
program with the String Quartet
No. 2" by Anthony Collins, whose
writing is less we'll known in this
city. Mr.. Collins is an English vio-
linist, composer and conductor who
now resides in Hollywood, where he
has written several scores for films.
An overture, "Sir Andrew and Sir
Toby" was performed by the New
York Philharmonic last season and
recent composition was given its
premiere over the radio last spring
The quartet played last night was
composed last year and dedicated
to Mrs. Coolidge. The faculty of his
style and the bright, gay tone of his
musical speech are of an original
quality and the quartet proved to be
of exceptional charm.
Mr.. Collins has not mastered
thoroughly the quartet form and
the rich possibilities of the four
tonal colors. He writes chiefly for
the violin with the other instru-
ments as accompaniment and that
frequently with pizzicato, and he
does not seek for deeper utterance
than can be made on the surface.
He is lyricist of the first water,
however, and his music is rich in
exquisite poetry expressed with an
individual touch.
A fiery beginning is followed by an
adagio of romantic content without
tinge of melancholy. A delightful
and piquant allegro has Mozartian
flavor in a modern mold and leads
into a fuga that increases ins spir-
tied defamation to robust finale.
Throughout the work there are sur
prises in the form of charming turn
of phrase or subtle creation of mood.
Mr.. Collins has something distinctly
of his own to say and he says it with
yivacity and imagination.
The program concluded with Bee
thoven's quartet in E Minor, Op.
SO, No. g." which gave the Coolidge
artists, experts in expounding mod
ern music, an opportunity to dis
play their fine ensemble and sound
musicianship in standard work.

Smoothly constructed, it bears the
stamp of driving inspiration that
has both drama and poetry in its
expression. Strong contrasts are
formed by an interlude that is
something of berceuse, broad
chords introducing an appasionata
movement, concluding with vivaee
of sparkling intensity. These three
sections, following a naestoso oi
strong, free descriptive powers, are
bound together with an emotionally
gripping thread.
Writing in this vein, Mr.. Harris
has achieved more elastic form
and greater depth than ever before

Sherlock Holmes still resides at
that hallowed address, 221B Baker
street, and he still is fanked by his
old companions Watson and Mrs.
Hudson But there the nostalgia
associations with the past cease.
Sherlock's shade has been sum-
moned to squash Nazi plots in the
sandbagged England of today. 1t
is new "streamlining" project of
Universal revealed in the Voice of
Terror episode now showing at the
Metropolitan.
Die-hard admirers of the fabulous
sleuth probably will take exception
to that point alone. Others, more
broad-mindedly disposed, would ac-
cept it in good faith-if only Uni
versal had used less commonplace
and talkative than Voice of Terror"
on which to send the indomitable
Holmes. Instead, it is his lot to
deliver patriotic speeches on the
right and the wrong in World
War II and even to appeal to the
patriotic instincts of Limehouse for
aid in capturing enemy agents. If
Sherlock were alive today, he would
certainly be in the thick of Britain's
fight. But he would be his old
subtle self while about it.
On the whole, this production is
a sputtering affair. At the outset
1t promises that crisp decisive ac-
tion so dear to the souls of Holmes
and Conan Doyle. Britains Timer

The CLIO Basketball League will
open on Dec. Is, at the Market
House. We intend to 60 through
with a 6 team league. The games
will be played over a period OF
10 weeks, or two complete rounds.
Howard Brandenburg will be the
referee, as the fellows all think
he did a good job last year, when
he served in this capacity for our
league. It is the intent of the CLIO
Athletic Council that each weeks
play be started not later than 7:3O
p. m. Tickets will 60 on sale on
or before Dec. 9, with the adrnis-
sion price set at ten cents per
game.
In our CLIO Bowling League the
Amalgamated Local 1853 team is
still leading. This team shows an
ability for good bowling as the
standings prove. But above the
good bowling asset,the 768 team
really has a good time. Winning
or losing seems to make not a par
ticle Of difference so long as the
boys enjoy themselves. Leading
the enjoyment department IS -
"Swede" Swanson. Every week he
manages to provide laughs for the
remaining bowlers in some form
Or another. "
In second place we find United
Aircraft Local GAS. This team also
shows a tendency toward good
bowling. However, the members
of the CAB team are more business
like in their methods, with the
main thought being to defeat their
opponents. The captain of the
CAB team is Bill Arbaugh. He is
also the Secretary-Treasurer of
the Bowling League, and he has
his hands full with figuring OF
handicaps and keeping the boys
in line. We personally think Bill
deserves a vote of praise for his
work in the organizing and con-
tinuance of our CIO Bowling
League.
Frigidaire Local 8O1 found most
of their troubles confronting them
at the beginning Of the season.
James Gauder really deserves a
vote of thanks from all the mem
bers who are interested in the
Athletic end of the CLIO Union.
MI. Gauder made this Local 801
team stick together and he spent
quite a bit of time in organizing
the team.
W. find that the Womens' teams
are not spectacular, but interest
ing. The CAB team is rather a
steady aggregation of women and
always on hand to bowl when the
time comes. The Local 1853 team
was another with organizational
difficulties, however they are COM
ing around now. Although the
ladies r not great bowlers, they
are enjoying themselves, and are
doing their best, and that is what
really counts; because after all,
the aim Of all Locals is to provide
recreation and enjoyment for their
members, and it is the aim of
the Athletic Council to make pos
sible this recreation.
The Bowling League standings

tory of Holland. The more she
read, the more she liked it. To fol-
low the struggles of the Dutch peo-
pie was as much fun to her as to
read an adventure story, and she
would rather spend her time on
something true than on q tale OF
fancy.
How she admired the Dutch peo-
pie! What great thing it seemed
to her that they had built dams to
keep back the sea!
She learned that Holland had
fought against foreign invaders,
and it seemed to her that the people
were brave. Yet their work on the
dams caught her chief interest.
She discovered that sometimes the
dams had broken, and that many
had died in the floods. Instead OF
losing heart after such sad events,
the Dutch had set to work to build
new and stronger dams.
Mary kept thinking of Holland,
and reading other books about it,
as the years went by. Perhaps she
would have coaxed her father to
let her make q trip there If time
Of romance had not come to her.
A New York lawyer, william Dodge,
asked her to marry him, and she
accepted.
Then followed years OF marriage
Two children were born to the

mother loved them dearly, and
often told them stories, little know

turn into q famous book about Hol-
