N., who sing baritone and basso respec tively, I. K. Denisof f , first tenor, and T. F. Kasakoff, second tenor will be the performers on the fifth offering of the enter- j tainment committee to be pre sented in Memorial hall Tues day night at eight-thirty. The program will be divided into three parts, the first part to be made up of the songs written by Russian composers. The second group will be com posed of Russian folk songs, the third will be art songs, and the fourth and final part will be made up of songs by non-Rus sian composers. Of great fame in their native country, having toured Europe many times prior to the World War, and with a brilliant rec ord of a quarter o'f a century's work as the best exponent of Russian folk and church music, the Quartet left Russia in 1923. Since that time they have tour ed Germany, Holland, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, England, Ireland, and Scotland, and have sung in the presence of King .George of England, the Queens of Spain arid Belgium, and the President of France. In May, 1927, in Paris, the Quartet celebrated its 30th an niversary. The decorations which the artists wear on the concert platform are those pre spnted to them by the French government. On January 7, 1928, the Quartet made its American debut and on October 3, 1928, opened its second sea son appearing in Carnegie hall, Agitation Against Dorm Stores Dies The commotion, started when a bill to abolish the dormitory stores, supported by the Chapel Hill merchants, Raleigh mer chants, the North Carolina Mer chants Association, and the Southern Retail Furniture As sociation, was presented to the state legislature, has become practically nil at the present. The matter now rests in the hands of President-elect Frank P. Graham, who will consider and make a report on it. It has been agreed that this question k ofioi vAvpprt the store managers and Chapel merchants and not in the legislature. A re cent statement said the feeling and store managers was friendly at pres ent. Quartet Be Fifth Of Entertainment Offerings xNew iorK. in tnree seasons T 1 iV before the American public, fill ing over 190 concert engage ments, the Kedroff Quartet has won. a triumph which rivals their conquest of the music world' of Europe. Their fourth American season will extend from October 20, 1930, to March 25. 1931. Few nations can claim such wealth and beauty in folk music as Russia, and it was the beauty of this music and the idea of as sembling and popularizing these melodies "that inspired the or ganization of the Kedroff Quar tet. Professor N. N. Kedroff has spent years in research work and in collecting and har monizing these treasures of the Slavic race, keeping intact their original style and spirit. The great majority of Russian songs in the extensive repertoire of the quartet are harmonized by this great musician and author ity on Russian folk music. Edward Moore, in reviewing their Chicago debut at Orchestra hall, wrote in The Chicago Tri bune, "They call themselves the Kedroff Quartet only that and nothing more -but they are the most extraordinary lour men who ever blended voices in the direction of the audience." And Herman Devries, in The Chicago American, summarized his praise in the following terms : "These men are indescribable. Musicians of the first rank, tone artists, virtuoses of shading, masters of dynamics, creators of charm and atmosphere," sim plicity, pathos, delicious humor, the latter aplenty, and always modest, delightfully informal and engaging." LEWIS AND WOLFE MEET ON VOYAGE One of the literary minded alumni of the University, Thomas Wolfe, whose first no vel, Look Hometvard, Angel, achieved a great success, is now finishing his second book. The scene of this book, October Fair, is laid in North Carolina and is to be published by Scribnefs, probably next fall. The novelist had the good fortune to return from Europe on the same boat with Sinclair Lewis. Lewis invited Wolfe to have dinner with him and the two talked over many things, literary and otherwise. Wolfe has decided to settle down now after bumming around the world for several years! He has Jiinted vaguely of coming back to this state to live.
