Kedroff Quartet; Kedrov, C.; Denisov; Kasakov, T. K.; Kedrov, N.

A large audience gathered at the Town Hall last night to hear the concert given by the Kedroff Quartet. That most of the hearers understood the Russian (sic) the singers used exclusively was manifested by the rapt attention given the majestic strains of the oening (sic) numbers, taken from the liturgy of the Eastern Orthodox Church and by the laughter that accompanied the closing number. "A Mother-in-Law had Seven Sons-in-Law, which was needlessly listed on the program as a "humerous song." I. K. Denisoff, the first tenor, was suffering from an incipient cold, but acquitted himself very well, while C.N. Kedroff, the basso, had his competent organ under full control for his important substructure, and N. N. Kedroff, baritone and T. K. Kasakoff, second tenor, were always helpful with their "inside" parts. The four were generous with encores, and were so wildly applauded at the end the offered Rimsky-Korsakoff's Bumble-Bee after they had smilingly sung "Good-night."
