CRITICS LAUD
ORGANIZATION
String Quartet Pro
nounced Outstand
ing Artists
Richard Spamer, the famous critic
of the St. Louis Olobe-Democrat,
paid high tribute to the perform
ance of the New York String Quar
tet. when this organization, to be
heard here on Friday. Feb. 22. at
Junior College auditorium, played
in that city for the flrzt time in
1923
“New York String Quartet Does
Great Things in Ensemble Violin
ism ” was the headline, and the
body of the critique was no less en
thusiastic.
"Although the organization known
as the New York String Quartet
lias not been in existence very
long.’* wrote Mr. Spamer. 'the first
perfotmance in St. Louis of these
stringed instrument artists gave
promise of a brilliant future.
“These fine young men have al
ready mastered the art of violin en
semble to the point where thev can
evoke the verv loudest ton-s their in
struments are capable of without a
hint of roughness, and thev can a'*o
make their fiddles, big and little,
whisper like an aeolian harp in a
summer breeze.
“Each of the four showed himself
to be a master of his instrument
and a solist of distinction, with the
added good virtue of willingness to
subordinate his individual ambition
to the good of the ensemble There
were moments who«« rhythm was
wrought so evenlv that one instru
ment of the comnass of the 'cello
and violin, played bv th- possibly

To many local citizens “Behind
the German Lines,” official pictures
taken by the German government
during the war. will perhaps be of
more than passing Interest. For the
first time local men and women who
participated actively in the war will
have the opportunity to see Just
what was going on behind the lines
of the enemy they were facing.
During the four years of the con
flict. the UFA Company of Ger
many had over one hundred cam
eramen busily engaged in filming
the various battles on all fronts.
Over twenty-five of them paid with
their lives for venturing on the field
of battle armed merely with a mo
tion picture camera. Their sacri
fice. however, has not been in vain
for war in all Its reality has been
pleturized. not on the back lot of a
Hollywood studio, but on the very
field of battle itself.
The pictures show what took place
from the very first day of the war in
1914. to the Armistice four years
Itaer. Everv important battle, every
important military figure, and even
the military secrets of the High
Command are revealed. Whether
one was in the front line, or at
home buying Liberty Bonds, he
owes It to himself to see these re
markable pictures.

time today.
