COMMUNICATED Plcased With Concert. I wish I could adequately express my appreciation at the concert given | at the Camp schaol auditorium Mon- day night, and give a fitting tribute to the exquisite music composed by George Hahn, Arthur Kimball and Theron Hart, but to say that T was thrilled to realize that New Britain could produce such talent is express- ing it mildly. Mr. Hahn's Prclude and Romance were beautiful, artistic, and dem- onstrated a thorough natural knowledge of harmony and unique nd lovely combinations. In my opin- ion they are in a class with Mec- | Dowell’s. Mr. Kimball's three numbers were | all beautiful, and varied and showed | real musiclanship. | limits with the committee and sev cral suggestions were made, Coun- cilman W. D.
