 Different Acts

Norah Mccarthy, Canadian and North American Women's Senior champion is another newcomer. Johnny Kinney adds @ new touch of comedy to the show while Bobby Blake offers something new in fig ure skating.
 Among the old favorites who will present new routines are Shipstad and Johnson, the Gailbraith broth- CTS, Heinie Brock, Mae Ross, .1cKel- Ian brothers, Papez and zwack and host of others, all in Q cast of 12O international stars.

Quartet In A Minor

Continuing the chamber music

the Gordon String Quartet last
night, Jacques Gordon and Leon

For their first number, the group
chose Beethoven's Quartet in E
Flat Major. Opus 127" which, pos
sibly, is best fitted for an open air
performance since it was conceived
out of doors and sketched in the
woods surrounding Baden.
Surnamed the last of Beethoyen's
pastoral" inspirations, it is said to
be the browning expression of his
love of nature, which seems to per-
meate the entire work. 1t found an
echo in the majestic strains of the
first movement, in the moving
"Adaglo," in the "Scherzando
Vivace," and in the animated
finale
While the Gordon String ensemble
gave 1t spirited reading, on the
whole, the inner voices of the work
