CLUB PLEASES LARGEJROWD City Shows Appreciation of Cultural Asset of Organization Giving Season's First Program. It is to be doubted, as stated here

last week, if the community realizes what a cultural asset it has in the

Music Study club which opened tne local musical season on , Wednesday evening in the high school auditorium with a recital by its members, assisted by Mr. Otto Williams, Miss Lucile Nusbaum and a double quartet of men's voices from the Y. M. C. A. The occasion was notable, locally, for the first appearance of a string quartet made up of Miss Carolyn Hutton, Miss Blanche Luken, Miss Lucile Nusbaum and Mr. Williams which might be said to have approximated the achievements of organizations of this character given over to the presentation of chamber music, and the fact that they had never before played together in public and that their rehearsals were few in number, makes their appearance all the more interesting. Their number, by Spohr, familiar to lovers of chamber music, was presented in all three movements, and with much harmony in ensemble, considerine the limited time for preparation,

and the fact that one instrument had had an accident in the breaking of the strings, before the concert. The second movement, in which the

theme of the musical writer found its

climax and which was given with the

most effect, the viola, played by Mr

Williams, was heard with much beauty of tone in the passages in which this

instrument dominated. Mr. Wiliams,

who Is one of this city's finest music

ians and is heard too infrequently in

nubile recital, added much musical

color to the interpretation. Add to Effect.

Miss Hutton, as first violin and Miss Luken, as second, sustained the continuity of the thematic material, and the clearness and firmness of tone

from the violin cello, played by Miss Lucile Nusbaum, a comparative novice on this instrument, balanced the in

strumentation of the lighter strings

admirably.

This was comparatively serious

music and the fact that it was so apDarently enjoyed by the audience goes

to show the effect the continued ef

forts of this organization, to insist

unon the intellectual element in the

musical art, has had on the general music-loving public.

That this should have been one of

the most favorably received numbers on the program argues for the musical appreciation extant here. The program was opened with the familiar overture from Mozart's

"Magic Flute," played at two pianos by Miss Alice Knollenberg, Miss Ruth

Peltz, Mrs. Lewis King and Mrs

George Eggemeyer, among Richmond s best known pianists, this composition having certain spectacular effects that

make it apropos for inclusion on a program of varied musical interest,

Miss Knollenberg, later playing the accompaniment for Mrs. Igelman, in

the latter's song, "Goodbye," by Tosti, in this pianist's usual accomplished manner. Mrs. Igelman, whose upper register

is of operatic scope, and whose appearances are always heartily welcomed, applauded and encored, sang with much eclat this delightful song poem. Gives Piano Solo. Miss Mildred Schalk gave the only piano solo on the program, presenting Chopin's "Polonaise, Opus 53," with much virtuosity, this being one of the great Polish composer's brilliant effects and typifying, in certain aspects, the peculiar quality of his genius. Miss Elizabeth Hasemeier and Miss Ethel Huber, Miss Hasemeier a leading local pianist, Miss Huber the organist of St. Paul's Lutheran church and a musician well known for a high standard of accomplishment, gave a two piano number by Hugo Kaun, a German-American composer of peculiar appeal and musical modernist. One of the charming phases of the program was the appearance of Mrs. F. W. Krueger, in Harker's "The Sky Lark," with a double quartet of men's voices including Mr. Hutchins, Mr.

Druley, Mr. Mote, Mr. Hodge, Mr. Foss,

Mr. Graham, Mr. Luring and Mr. McAfee, the quartet ensemble being par

ticularly smooth and harmonious, and

the "soprano obligato, as it was down on. the program of Mrs. Krueger being given with that delightful , vocalist's usual effectiveness. The program was in fact as much enjoyed as it was varied, and the executive board of the club, Mrs. King, Miss Schalk, Mrs. Krueger, Mrs. Eggemeyer and Miss Hutton, were complimented upon its success. The regular club program will begin October 21, with the usual morning meeting in the public art gallery and the study of American composers.
