Charles E. Buck- ley, Director of the Currier Gallery of Art at Manchester, New Hampshire, offers the following information: The organizing of artists from all over New Hampshire into an association that is continually reviewing and revising its standards and policies gives emphasis to their role in the cultural life of the state. Also, through the Association, artists are brought into a closer relationship with each other than would be possible if no central organization existed. The Asso- ciation's exhibitions give rise to valuable discussion and criticism and serve to focus the attention of the public on the trends and developments taking place among artists in our section of New England.

It was performed at these conceits April 18 and December 26, 1941; March 9, 1945, March 22, 1946, and April 6-7, 1951. 4CTN the Spring of 1939," writes Mr. Copland, "I was asked by my * friend Harold Clurman, Director of the Group Theatre, to supply the incidental musical score for a new play by Irwin Shaw, author of 'Bury the Dead/ 'The Gentle People/ and other dramas. His new opus was entitled 'Quiet City/ and was a realistic fantasy concerning the night-thoughts of many different kinds of people in a great city. It called for music evocative of the nostalgia and inner distress of a society profoundly aware of its own insecurity. The author's mouthpiece was a young trumpet player called David Mellnikoff, whose trumpet play- ing helped to arouse the conscience of his fellow-players and of the C6 <ytfjcua£ UhdocoTtiA QjukuZI uou a£ C^/u£tuut vcumcz CJuoicA vewcaty ==ibi#=_ Sunday Services 10 :45 a.m. and 7 :30 p.m. -~^^fiw^k Sunday School (also nursery) 10:45 a.m. ^toAWednesday Testimony Meetings 7 :30 p.m. i V (ff\ ' iA 7^ 9^o^mC/uMwA THE FIRST CHURCH OF CHRIST, SCIENTIST, IN BOSTON — Falmouth and Norway Streets (Symphony Station) [75] audience. The play was given two 'try-out' performances in New York on successive Sunday evenings in April of 1939, and then withdrawn for revisions. "Several friends urged me to make use of some of the thematic material used in my score as the basis for an orchestral piece. This is what I did in the summer of 1940, as soon as my duties at the Berkshire Music Center were finished. I borrowed the name, the trumpet, and some themes from the original play. The addition of English horn and string orchestra (I was limited to clarinet, saxophone, and piano, plus the trumpet of course, in the stage version), and the form of the piece as a whole, was the result of work in a barn-studio two miles down the road from Tanglewood.
