Audience Acclaims 1.-TWO Grey Hawks" Work of
Miles IA Martin - Civic Orchestra Superb
in Outstanding Musical Event.

Last night at Buckingham hall
q large audience appreciated the eff
fort that went into one of the finest
programs yet presented by the Civic
Orchestra of Waterbury, Mario Di
Cecco conducting with his accus-
toned verve and care as to the
most minute detail. The orchestra
had good balance in the instru-
ment personnel and the various
sections were sufficient for the de-

Cordial Reception
Highlighting the concert last
night was the first public playing
Of 1.-TWO Grey Hawks" o symphonic

musical history; its reception last
night was cordial and enthusiastic,
and Mr.. Martin stepped to the front
Of the auditorium to receive an
added appreciation following the
playing. In this Mr.. Di Cecco
skilfully translated for the instiu-
ments the theme of the descriptive
piece based on Joaquin Miller's 1.-THE
Sioux Chiefs Daughter" The work
was inspiring and exciting, the
theme dramatic In presenting the
picture Of two stalwart indians
wooing an Indian maiden. In this
the Instrumentation was such tina
the performance had color; the in
strument effects In the brass Sec
ton, then In the string section wal
exceptionally appealing. AS a piece
Of American music 1t was felt las
night that Mr. Martin had giver
to the public here something es'
pecially fine. The tone poem had g
story to tell, and in the writing
Mr.. Martin gave O vivid picture
realistic, and in the direction by
Mr.. DiCecco made 1t favorable
performance.
Another highlight of the evening
was the playing of Haydn's Con-
certo for cello with the orchestra by
Adolphe Absgnante, first cellist of
he orchestra. In this difficult work
Mr.. Abbenante showed himself a
cellist OF distinction. He managed
the unaccompanied cadenZa pas
sages In the Allegro Moderate, and
again In the final Rondo with a
good technique. In tn: Andante
movement his playing was rich and
a smooth musical line was attained.
The orchestra performed skillfully
and gave Mr.. Abbenante the re-
CURED support. The Concerto was
we'll received.
Ensemble Excellent
The major work Of the evening
was the playing of Tschiakowsky' S
Symphony No. 4 IN F Minor, In
which the ensemble put forth every
effort. This big work was done in
admirable fashion in all sections,
the immense volume in the fortis-
simo passages ringing out with
clarity and depth of tone. The long
Andante sostenuto was given IN
splendid fashion, as was the An
dantion In modo di canzona. The
Pizzicato estimate was contrast,
the strings negotiating here with
precision and the final Allegro con
Iuoco was an effective climax to the
evenings program. This work de-
mands full orchestral and the fl
nest musicianship even with the
country's major orchestras. In its
handling by our exceptional anna
teur group the highest praise goes
to the orchestra personnel and to
Mr.. Di Cecco for his sincerity OF
purpose in putting the. work over in
so expert a fashion.
Also on the program were Mo-
zart's Overture to lie Nozze di
Figaro" and the short but colorful
Entrance of the Fauns' by Pierne.
The program was opened with the
playing of the National Anthem

It was disclosed at a manpower

the manning tables, designed to
expedite the drafting Of replace
able war workers while maintaining
the rate of war production, be put
In use in Connecticut.

The Waterbury area will increase the
number Of women and ga men In

for elimination Of the standardized

local draft board predicted. Repre-

and factories attended.
Under the auspices Of the Con-
r?cticut Manufacturers Assn, the
Selective Service and the Chamber
of Commerce, representatives Of all
hree organizations heard speeches
by Lieut.. Col. Roy G. Charron, re-
gional representative of the Ma
tional Selective Service. and by Jo-
seph Smith, New England director
of VINO.
Manufacturers are providing lists
Of men who are both essential and
nom essential to the war effort on
the factory front. These lists are
sent to the State Selective Service
headquarters in Hartford and will
be used for scheduling the men who
are r:placeable. From the sched-
ules noted In each table. Of the
amount of time required to train a
man to replace the prospective
draftee, the draft boards will be
able to decic'e on the proper length

Agreement Binding
This schedule is as binding on the
draft board as on industry, since
the two factions must come to an
agreement to 1sslinquish on the one
hand and to accept on the other
he employe under question, 1t was
stated by representative Of one
of the organizations present.
From tfr manufacturers point OF
view, the program goes into effect
as soon as he files his inventory

rain new employe to fill the
space to be vacated at the end Of
the prescribed length of time.
Authorities expect that some ar
rangement will be made whereby
both industries and draft boards
know far enough In advance how
many men have to be replaced. This
is to insure against undue training
of substitutes as well as against no!
having enough men free when the
draft quotas are to be filled.
