For example, your life insurance can very easily be arranged to provide life-long support for your widow plus a substantial inheritance for your children. In Shawmut' s Personal Trust Department we would be glad to discuss your complete insurance program . with you, your life insurance counsellor and your attorney, or simply write for a copy of our brochure "A Modern Life Insurance Program."

Anne L. Jenks, the Curatorial Assist- ant of the Institute, has contributed the following comments about the show. Donald Stoltenberg treats the urban scene in his dramatic shipyard cranes, the El and the Boston Opera House. The human figure, however, is the sub- ject of William Bailey's works and two of Walter Stein's paintings. The spirit of fantasy prevails in the canvases of Jravetina Jack Wolfe and Robert Hamilton, and the audience is asked to perceive with cJLlaktli acuteness and abandonment the artist's elusive hints. If Gabor Peterdi's works Our kimono of appear—at first—abstract, sympathetic attention to the titles will reveal this pure silk bro- artist's keen observation of nature. cade with its Although more abstract, Albert Alca- own small case lay's paintings are full of a nostalgia to match—the that has recognizable counterparts in lightest pair of music and poetry.

FINANCIAL JUDGMENT WITH THE HUMAN TOUCH Finding a missing heir An inheritance was waiting for a woman whose family hadn't heard from her for more than 25 years. The money was left by her father, who stated in his will that the money should be divided among the other heirs if the daughter could not be found. Old Colony, as Executor, used every possible means to find her, including advertising in newspapers across the country. The woman was found and given her legacy. Just another example of how Old Colony, as Executor, carries out the wishes of the maker of a will. Old Colony would be glad to discuss your estate plans with you and your lawyer at any time.

BOSTON • CHESTNUT HILL [ 1032 ] OVERTURE TO "BENVENUTO CELLINI," Op. 23 By Hector Berlioz Born in La Cote Saint-Andre, December 11, 1803; died in Paris, March 8, 1869 The opera "Benvenuto Cellini" was first performed at the Opera in Paris, Sep- tember 10, 1838. The most recent performance of the Overture at the Friday and Saturday concerts of this Orchestra was on April 12-13, 1940. The orchestration of the Overture requires 2 flutes and piccolo, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets and bass clarinet, 4 bassoons, 4 horns, 4 trumpets, 2 cornets, 3 trombones and tuba, timpani, bass drum, cymbals, triangle and strings. The opera Benvenuto Cellini was the fulfillment of a special ambi- tion of Berlioz. To him a pronounced success at the Opera in Paris was a very vital matter. Much in need of the assurance of an official position with a fixed income, he never received more than scant or grudging favor from the Conservatoire, while at the Opera, where a reasonable recognition would have solved his financial harassment once and for all, he invariably met with veiled hostility or evasion.

We have, therefore, the Wedding cantata composed at Cothen in its original version. Bach was often unwilling to leave good material composed for a special occasion aside, but the dance-like character of the cantata would have prevented him from using the music subsequently in a church work.
