Belgian Quartet
Second
Concert Here
Big Audience Enjoys
Piano.Sfring Group
At Meridian Hill
By ELENA DE SAYN.

A short drizzle at Meridian Hill
Park last night fortunately did not
deter most of the large audience
from enjoving all Of the magnificent
program presented by the Belgian
String Quartet at their sec
ond appearance here this week. The
rain, however, caused some to leave
the concert during the finale of
Schumann's "E Flat Quartet, Op. A.
Whenever piano is associated with
the strings, there is always a danger
that the balance may suffer from
over-emphasis on the part Of the
player. However, the very first
notes of Mozart's Quartet in G
Minor K. v. 478" revealed In Gull

better than any violinist or cellist.
His marked differentiation in the
approach to, three such diversified
styles as Mozart's, Schumann's and
Faure's. whose Quartet in c
Minor Op. Is" closed the program,
was another accomplishment so
often wanting even in the best of
artists.
While Mozart's quartet has much
that reminds one of his piano con-
certos and seems to be more like a
piece de resistance for the piano
assisted by strings, Schumann's work
calls upon each string instrument in

Club for Enlisted Men

Organized and operated for -
years by wives OF officers Of the
three services In the Woman's
Army and Navy League, this club
for enlisted men continues briskly
busy, regardless OF heat or hui
midity.
Activities this summer tend to
center in Chadwick Hall, to the
rear Of the main clubhouse, which
has just been redecorated under
the efficient direction Of Mrs.
Samuel Karrick, chairman OF the
House Committee.

ing conscientiously to see that
the figures in the materials
matched perfectly at every turn
and rufde, Mrs. Karrick con
fesses that she never wants to
see another stripe or plaid.
Remodeled about a. year ago
from what were stables in earlier
days and garages more recently,
Chadwick Hall was originally
used for servicemen's dances.
AS there is now 50 much enter
tainment for enlisted men In the
city, however, and as sleeping
quarters are at such a premium,
dances were discontinued 50 that
the hall might be utilized to ac-
commodate cots
The main clubhouse and Chad
wick Dormitory upstairs in the
annex are filled to capacity on
Saturday nights, but by placing
cots in the hall-and on the
porches and in the court yard

club can provide overnight ac-
commodations for about 200 men.

to the cello in particular, a lovely
theme In the "Andante Cantabile''
as a tribute to his Russian friend,
Count Wielhorsky, an amateur
cellist, whom he met In Russia and
to whom he dedicated the compost
ton.
The graceful pattern and the
subdued tone in Mozart's quartet
gave way to a fuller and more
poignant expression to the slow sus-
tanned notes in Schumann's COM
position and to it's brilliant "Scherzo"
the artistic execution of which won
for the players a lasting place in
the esteem of their listeners.
Paving the way for Debussy and
Ravel, and much In advance of his
contemporaries, Faure reconciled in
his work, presented by the Belgian
Piano-String Quartet, the demands
OF his fellowmen for melody and
the growing need for greater free
dom from restrictions of set rules.
Effective to the end, the quartet
travels through a variety of moods,
taxing the Imagination of the play
ers and calling upon their technical
and interpretative resources in a
steady crescendo.
