New York Stocks BUTLER WICK co. 324 Thirteenth Franklia, Noon Piano Quartet is Enjoyed in Final Concert of Season As individual as their native states, (New Kansas, Connecticut and Oklahoma) yet as complete unison as the United States, Ada Kopetz, Bertha Melnik, John Scales and Max Walmer, members, Quartet, of the presented Philharmonic a brilliant concert before of none largest crowds this season in the Senior High School auditorium Tuesday evening.

This was the third and final concert of the Oil City Community Concert Associations tion. As Mrs. Georgia MacDonald, New York City, representative for the association, stated at intermission, last a night's program "washed away the dust of everyday life from the soul." In her appeal for the current campaign for new members, Mrs. MacDonald stated that although this country is a sports-loving nation with baseball the leading sport, last year more was spent on musie than baseball." Opening with George Gershwin's, well the known pianists "Rhapsody had the in Blue," young three ingredients that go to make an Talent, urge and techartistic of the selections were well executed. Most outstanding was the singing quality of Franz Liszt's beloved "Liebestraum." The audience expressed enjoyment of this, as well as the following number, "Perpetual Motion," by Johann Strauss, when an "a-ah" could be heard, was a tribute to the players interpretation.

Miss Kopetz and Miss Melnik were dressed in long sleeved, fullskirted tulle gowns of raspberry and aqua hue and were backgrounded by Messrs. Scales and Walmer in white tie and tails. They were as delightful to watch as to listen to; at times the women pianists were as graceful in their motions at the piano as dancers. Each was an individual pianist, but the attuned temperaments and en rapport of the group as a whole was superb. Special credit should go to Moritz Bomhard for his unusual and fine- arrangements.

Dramatic highlights last night included the spin-tingling finale of the Gershwin number, colorful and delicate compisitions, and the Sam Morgenstern (specially composed and arranged for the group), "Toccato Guatemala," a made-to-order sparkler. The latter was an encore, Other encorces were two excerpts from Tchaikowsky's "Nutcracker Suite," Chopin's "Etude in Thirds," and another specially written composition by, Scott Watson, "Square Dance." This selection was rather unique with its sound effects of clapping the hands and tapping the piano top during the playing. During the program intermission, the men changed places at the four black grand pianos with the women pianists so the audience could see the way each pianist handled his part of the program. Mrs. MacDonald announced that next year the concerts will be held at the Drae Theatre where a group of seats will be set aside for reservation.
