Woman's Club Has Violinist's Program PAGE 4 By AMY FLACK Journal-Standard Reporter A delightful program of violin music with a demonstration of ancient musical instruments was presented by Mrs. Charlene Dilling 3rewer for Freeport Woman's Club Saturday afternoon in Masonic Temple ballroom.

One of the ancient stringed instruments she played was a tube iddle which she brought back from Zanzibar. This instrument is isually played with lyres in a quintet. Another one of Mrs. Brewer's ancient instruments, which came rom Ethiopia, had a square vooden frame covered with goat skin. The strings were made of lair, like that used in a violin bow.

Used For Percussion A gourd covered with buffalo or hide was also played. Mrs. Brewer said that this was probably used as a percussion instrument, the player plucking it and beating out the rhythm on the body of the nstrument. A pochette or small violin which was made in about 1700 was demon- This instrument got its name because it could be conveniently carried in the pocket. Dancing masters used it because it could be held at the side, slightly above the waist, and played while were demonstrating dance steps to their pupils.

The first mechanical stringed instrument was shown. It is somewhat like an accordion, but has both strings and keys. The player would turn a crank which was connected to the bow inside the instrument, at the same time playing the melody on the keyboard. Owns Stradivari Violin Mrs. Brewer is one of the few persons to own both a Stradivari and an Amati violin.

It was Niccolo Amati who taught Antonio Stradivari how to make violins in Cremona, Italy, said. Later Stradivari surpassed Amat in his profession and became known as the finest of violin makers. One of Stradivari's violins re cently sold for $80,000, she told the group. Of the 11,000 instruments he made, 663 are still in existence. Mrs.

Brewer played "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen" on both the Amati and Stradivari violins so the audience might compare the tone produced by each. On the musical section of the program, Mrs. Brewer played the "Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso," "Flight of the Bumblebee," "Wings of Song" by Mendelssohn "Bon Soir" by Debussy and ar School Attendance Improves; Absences Now Just Over St. Vincent's Home for Children reported all its school-age children back in school this morning.
