Camden Grammar School. 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.
