The house had been sold out by sub scription and very few seats were unoccupied. TThoae who were unable to atend missed a very enjoyable occasion, for the Bary Ensemble more than lived up to the reputation that had preceded their first visit to Camden. To judge ter the. reception they re ceived, it will not be the last, as Miss Gertrude Bary, creator of the Ensemble and the able pianist of the group, said they had never played to a more enthusiastic or more discriminating audience. The program was a happy one, on tee classical-popular or der. Perhaps the outstanding suc cess was made by the cellist, Miss Virginia Peterson, who played with a rjch, pure tone on an in strument not often fully mastered by a female performer. Beauty and a gracious stage presence added to the enjoyment of her share in the proceedings. One of her best liked numbers was an a composition of Sir Wil liam Squires, with whom Miss Peterson studied in London. - Miss Mary and Miss Becker were much applauded.
