SANTA MONICA, OCEAN PAHK AND VENICE EASTER week, coming concur- rently with fleet week, has made things lively In the social circles of the Santa Monica bay cities. Every day has seen a flutter of busy excite- ment among maids and maidens who have been planning this or that fes- tivity in honor of the officers and men of the four battleships at anchor in these waters. As a natural consequence of the fleet's visit there have been prac- tically no social functions of a strictly private character, everything of that nature having given way to the numer- ous public entertainments that have marked the week. The biggest event of the week was the grand ball given to the officers of the fleet at the Venice auditorium Tuesday night. The mammoth hall was beautifully decorated for the occa- sion and nearly 500 couples were on the floor. The grand march was led by Capt. Giles B. Harber of the battleship Maine and Mrs. Eglehoff-Kundell. -*- Several hundred couples danced on Thursday night on the fine floor of the Horseshoe pier casino at the ball given under the auspices of the Santa Monica bay fleet entertainment committee to the warrant officers of the Maine, Mis- souri, Ohio and Minnesota. The stage of the dancing hall had been made ovor into the side elevation of a battleship and the orchestra, clad in sailor suits, played on the deck of the mimic war vessel. The grand march was led by Mayor and Mrs. T. H. Dudley of Santa Monica. The ladies of Santa Monica, Sawtelle, Sherman, Palms, Ocean Park and Venice kept open houso Thursday for the officers and men of the battleships. In spite of the storm and the conse- quent lessening in the number of men who came ashore that day a large number availed themselves of this hos- pitality. —*— An Informal supper was given late Tuesday night by a number of prom- inent Santa Monica bay citizens to about forty officers from the four ships anchored here. Most of the party had been to the banquet at Redondo earlier in the evening and returning tarried a vhile at the Venice dance pavilion, after which they repaired to tho ship hotel, where a dainty repast was served. Admirals»Thomas and Sperry wero among the officers present. The civilians included Mayor and Mrs. T. H. Dudley of Santa Monica, Mr. and Mrs. David Evans, Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Eakins, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Russell and many others. Covers were laid for 100. -*- Abbot Kinney entertained Capt. Charles W. Bartlett of the Ohio at luncheon on board the ship hotel on Wednesday. Members of the G. A. R. and tha Women's Relief corps went aboard the ships in a body Friday morning, as did also the ladles of the W. C. T. U.. who presented tho sailors and marines with comfort bags as mementos of their stay in these waters. The women of the- Santa Monica bay fleet commttee tendered a delightful re- ception Friday afternoon at the Cali- fornia military academy to the officers of the battleships. Punch was served and a large number of guests wcro re- ceived from 2 o'clock to 4. The Venice dance pavilion was tho scene of a brilliant danco for the sailors and marines of the Maine, Missouri, Ohio and Minnesota Friday. One of the largest crowds ever seen at any social event on this beach gathered on thia occasion and the affair was pronounced a red letter event in the lives of the hundreds of boys in blue who were the guests. MUSIC BY MMX. <JKNKVRA .lOIINBTONK-BISHOP Mnrlettu Alhonl mill Knrl Forme* TI i 1-: greatest contralto of the mid- dle of the century was undoubtedly Marietta Albnnl, the daughter of a customs house officer of Casena, Ro- magnn. She was born In 1822, and llko mom of the great singers, showed her talent early. She was placed under good teachers, and attracted the atten- tion of Rossini by her beautiful voice. He also gave her instruction In some of her parts. Thus she had the honor of being Rossini's pupil. In 1842 she made her first appearance In opera, and was soon engaged :it La Scala, Milan, whore she remained for four years. She then went to Vienna, and traveled through Europe, creating a general furore. Albonl was not an actress; she was a singer, smiply and absolutely, and her Hinging 1 was men H to carry every- thing boforo It. Her tones were rich, full, mellow and liquid—sumptuous, they have been called —and of pure and great sympathetic quality. It was not an even voice, for her upper register was thin. Here is where the wonderful voice of the now famous contralto, Mme. Schumann-Heink, excels. Her high B flat is as full and pure as a soprano voice; her range Is a marvel. Mme. Albonl was greatly beloved, dis- position was amiable, but she was Inde- pendent and dignified, and in Germany while comparatively unknown she de- clined to seek the favor of the press, preferring to trust to tho Judgment of tho public. Once when Albonl was at Trieste she was Informed of the exist- ence of a plot to hiss her off the stage, owing to her being an Italian; they were angry to think she had sung in Munich and Vienna to German audi- ences, and they thought she ought to receive some castlgatlon for her un- patriotic conduct. Shs ascertained the names of her detractors, where they \u25a0were to be found, and donned mnlo at- tire and went to the prtfe at which the conspirators met. She found them In full consultation and listened to their conversation, let on she was Interested and would enjoy a little practical Joke herself, and Joined with them for the occasion, asking what she should do. The leader asked her to "take a whistle and at a signal to be given at the con- clusion of an aria sung by Albonl the noise will begin." She placed the whistle In her pocket. That night the house was packed. In due course Mme. Alboni appeared, and even before the signal was given some of the conspir- ators began to make a disturbance. Without showing any concern Albonl walked down to the footlights, and holding up the whistle, which was hung from her neck by a ribbon, she said: "Gentlemen, are you not a little before your time? I thought we were not to commence the hissing- until after I had sung my aria." For a moment a deathlike stillness prevailed. Then suddenly the house broke into thunders of applause, which was led by the conspirators themselves, and there was no hissing of this great artist after that. Albonl visited the United States in 1852 Just after the visit of Jenny Llnd and received a cordial welcome. In 1853 she married Count Pepoll and soon retired from public life. She is said to have ex- pressed some disappointment as to her visit to America. In social life the Countess Pepoll was as much the idol of her friends as she had previously been of the public. The last time she sang In public was In 1871 when she sang the contralto part in Rossini's mass. The composer had desired that she sing this part before his death when it was given and she kept her promise. In 1877 she married for the second time, a Major Zleger. She lived near Paris, and in 1892 the writer had the pleasure of going to her home to moot this gTeat artist, then an old charming woman. Her death took place at the Villo d'Avray( her home), Paris, in 1894, at the age of 72 years. Karl Formes was one of the most remarkable basses of his time, in spite of the fact that he frequently offended by false intonation. Formes was a son of a sexton of Muhlhelm on the Rhine and was born In 1810. He grew up with a strong love for music and the drama and at the age of 16 his enthusiasm was such that when Essler, the actor, appeared in Cologne young Karl, not having money enough to pay for both the ferry and his ticket to see Kssler, he tied his clothes around his neck and swam the Rhine rather than miss the performance. He gained the greater part of his musical education by singing in choirs. When Staudigl, the great basso, sang the part of Bertram at the opera in Co- logne Formes listened to his singing with awe and begged to sing this same part the following year with great suc- cess. So delighted was Staudigl, who heard him, that he at once introduced Karl Formes as his successor. In 1841 Formes made his debut in opera. He then appeared In Vienna, and In 1849 appeared in London with a German company and was engaged at Covent Garden the following year, where he sang for fifteen years. He had a voice which, for volume, com- pass and quality, was one of the most magnificent ever heard; a fine, hand- some and attractive stage presence and exceptional dramatic ability. He was of a unsettled, roving disposition, and spent much of his time In Russia and Spain. In 1857 he visited the United States and began a wandering life in this country, singing in all the large cities. In 1882 he, being 72 years of age, married a Miss Pauline Greenwood, who had been one of his pupils in Philadelphia. They shortly afterward settled In San Francisco, where he frequently sang, and had a number of pupils. His voice was wonderfully well preserved, he being strong and ac- tive until his death, which came in 1889. He Is burled in San Francisco, far from his little home in Germany. Emperor William I asked him to sing at court once. Formes was delighted with the opportunity. The emperor applauded loudly and demanded an en- core and seemed highly delighted with his singing. Niemann (who was Jeal- ous of the success of Formes) came out with an article In one of the pa- pers saying: "Karl Formes sang at court before the emperor, and sang atrociously, bellowing and shouting in Btentorlan tones. Everybody was In agony until it was over, and tho em- peror remarked that Formes would make a fine dragoon officer, shouting commands with this great voice." Karl Formes never forgave Niemann for thia false statement, and the emperor never allowed Niemann to enter the palace again, nor to appear at court, which served him right. Article In next Sunday's Herald will speak of Melba, Eames, Sanderson and Ella Russell. The California Chautauqua at Ven- ice will be held in the Auditorium July 6 to 18 Inclusive. Brilliant concerts and lectures are promised, and It is hoped will be a grand success. Godowsky, the famous pianist, is now in Berlin. He has Just finished a series of concerts at tho Philharmonic. Max Reger's latest work is a trio in E minor for violin, cello and piano. The Musical Courier gives the fol- lowing—lt will be of great Interest to American musicians: "There Is much interest felt in the announcement of the approaching marriage of Dr. Fred- erick Cowen, composer and conductor. It was only last Friday that the news was given out to friends. His fiancee is Frederica Richardson, a young singer, who has been studying with Sir Charles Santtey, and the wedding, it is said, will take place in June." -*- George Henschel will spend his sum- mer at Allt-na-Criche in Scotland. A Lilliputian company of singers gave "Cavalleria Rustlcana" In Rome. Can you imagine such a thing? Emperor William has accepted the dedication of George Schumann's can- tata, "Prcis und Danklied." Saraate Is touring Austria and play- ing to "sold out houses." Herr Arnold Krauss, together with Mr. and Mrs. Harry Lott, are to give six chamber concerts next season at Simpson auditorium. -*- Dudley Buck, tho well known vet- eran American musician, has Just passed his seventieth birthday. -*~ Mme. Pattl is going to sing at the Diamond Jubilee concert to be given in London on May 26, to celebrate the sixtieth year of Wilhelm Ganz' resi- dence in England. The writer "Mephisto" of the Musical America says: "Just at a time when I hoped that the entire musical family was at peace with itself, the affecting news comes that my dear little friend, Frltzl Scheff, is in New York to get a divorce. "The lady's real name is the Baron- ess Frederick yon Bardeleben, as some time ago she married that distinguished representative of nobility. Fritzi Scheff is Just back from a 15,000-mile tour, which has been very successful, and as she said in an interview with a re- porter, she now 'proposes to take a long sleep.' "Curious, isn't it, that so many of these charming singers, who can earn money as well as the good will and kindly regard of the public, manage 1o tie themselves up with some scion of nobility, whose strength is expended upon his personal appearance and the expenditure of the prima donna's money?" It is seldom that a boy so young as Master Bettin is willing to attempt a recital, but this little fellow, only 12 years of age, yet extremely ambitious, is anxious to match his talent with others who are much more experienced in the profession. He expects to make music his life work. He enters into the musical spirit with a determination to eventu- ally become one of our recognized soloists. Master Bettin will appear in recital at Simpson auditorium Friday even- ing, May 8, assisted by a vested choir of boys and Jamie Whitson Overtoil, violinist. Mr. Overton is a pupil of Natorp Blumenfeld and has attracted considerable attention Jn this city by his wonderful technique and superb bowing. Lillian A. Smith, concert pianist, has arranged for a recital to bo given Tues- day evening of this week at the Gamut club auditorium. Miss Smith was a special student of Lesehetizky for four seasons and has appealed with signal success In concerts in Berlin Bnd Vi- enna. Since returning; to Los Angeles \u25a0he has shown that (he is one of the most talented pianists in the city and her many friends have requested a special program, which she has con- sented to give, and will be assisted by Miss Blanche Ruby, the well known soprano, and Misa Elizabeth Jordan, accompanist. The program is a varied one and of great Interest to both stu- dent and teacher as well as the gen- eral public. The program numbers are as follows: English suite II (Bach). Prelude, allemande, courante, sarabamle, bouree I-11, Glgue. •Sonate Pathetlque (Beethoven), Grave, molto allegro c con brio, adagio cantabllo, rondo allegro. Mlcaelo's air from "Carmen" (Bizet), Miss Ruby. "La Bella Caprlcclosa Polacca" (Hummel). "l.es IJoux Alouattes" (Leschetlzky). Berceuse etudes No. B-9 (Chopin). "VUlanallo" (Chamlnade). "Spring" (Henschel). Undoubtedly the most important and most interesting musical event for Southern California since the advent of the Conried opera company Is the coming of the New York Symphony orchestra and Walter Damrosch to this city, the middle of nezt month. Mr. Behymer considers this the crowning musical event of the season and one of the most notable musical events in the history of the state. The New York Symphony orchestra is the only organization of its kind in New York city that engages its members by the year, so that rehears- als may be called every day at the will of the conductor. The result is that this organization either gives a con- cert or rehearses every day and has reached a degree of excellence that places it in the very front ranks of the world's great musical organiza- tions. The members have been gath- ered from all parts of the universe, many of them eminent soloists and each one a first-class artist. Walter Damrosch needs no Introduc- tion to our music lovers; they know him as both opera and concert conduc- tor, pianist composer and lecturer. His conducting of the Wagner cycle with the Grau opera company will never be forgotten by those who witnessed those remarkable performances with casts such as no European opera house has ever equaled. It was in this man- ner Manager Behymer first introduced Walter Damrosch to Los Angeles in old Hazard pavilion. He is a typical American, and one of the musicians this country has every reason to be proud of. Madam Hisson de Mosse, the so- prano, possesses a splendidly cultivat- ed and extremely beautiful voice and has been soloist with every Important orchestra and choral society in this country. There are other soloists of equal merit to be Introduced. The opening night will probably pre- sent the celebrated French-Italian nights, with eight new compositions not yet heard on the Pacific coast; a popular concert for the matinee and the tremendous Russian-Slavic night to close the series. It is possible that a special afternoon recital will be ar- ranged for the school children, with a children's program selected with a view of .Instructing as well as enter- taining the younger students of music. Jennie Osborn Hannah is to sing at Covent Garden soon. She is cast for Elizabeth, Eva and other youthful so- prano roles in Wagner operas. Mrs. Hannah is a Chicago singer and at one time was a pupil of the writer, coach- ing in oratorio. Her voice Is a brilliant one, of good range and superior quality. Russell C. Page, a young baritone of Los Angeles, has a voice of great promise. Lucille Marcel, the New York so- prano, now of the Paris opera, sang recently before the czarlne at Tsarskoe- Selo. Jean de Reske is especially in- terested in Miss Marcel's voice. She is to sing In London during the season. -\u2666- The Treble Clef club will give an orchestral and choral concert May 8, under the direction of Leandro Campa- nari of New York. There will be sixty members of the orchestra, Herr Ar- nold Krauss is to be concert master and about seventy voices In the chorus. The program will be of Interest to the public, and under the baton of Mr. Campanari success is assured. He at one time was the director at La Scala and at the Manhattan in New York. Carl Lanzer, tho famous American violin virtuoso and violin maker, will arrive In Los Angeles in May and give at least two recitals here. Two young Los Angeles musicians met with great success at Phoenix, Ariz., singing "The Messiah" there last Tuesday night. The Republican says: "Miss Marie Thomas was most pleas- ing. Her voice was distinguished by a mellow richness, sympathy and appeal- ing quality which was well adapted to the quiet and sacred theme of the oratorio. "Irving Andrews has made noticeable improvement during his experience on the coast. He approached the motifs of the composition with a seriousness and sympathy that is as effectual in arous- ing admiration as merely glorious tone, even in which his voice was a rare de- light to the hearers." —— Miss Frances Mallory of the senior class of the college of music, Univer- sity of Southern California, will give her graduating recital Tuesday even- ing.

SANTA MONICA, OCEANPAHK AND VENICE

EASTER week, coming concur-rently with fleet week, has madethings lively In the social circles

of the Santa Monica bay cities. Everyday has seen a flutter of busy excite-ment among maids and maidens whohave been planning this or that fes-tivity in honor of the officers and menof the four battleships at anchor inthese waters. As a natural consequenceof the fleet's visit there have been prac-tically no social functions of a strictlyprivate character, everything of thatnature having given way to the numer-ous public entertainments that havemarked the week.

The biggest event of the week wasthe grand ball given to the officers ofthe fleet at the Venice auditoriumTuesday night. The mammoth hallwas beautifully decorated for the occa-sion and nearly 500 couples were on thefloor. The grand march was led byCapt. Giles B. Harber of the battleshipMaine and Mrs. Eglehoff-Kundell.

-*-Several hundred couples danced onThursday night on the fine floor of theHorseshoe pier casino at the ball givenunder the auspices of the Santa Monicabay fleet entertainment committee tothe warrant officers of the Maine, Mis-souri, Ohio and Minnesota. The stage

of the dancing hall had been made ovorinto the side elevation of a battleshipand the orchestra, clad in sailor suits,played on the deck of the mimic warvessel. The grand march was led byMayor and Mrs. T. H. Dudley of SantaMonica.

The ladies of Santa Monica, Sawtelle,Sherman, Palms, Ocean Park andVenice kept open houso Thursday forthe officers and men of the battleships.In spite of the storm and the conse-quent lessening in the number of menwho came ashore that day a largenumber availed themselves of this hos-pitality.

—*—An Informal supper was given lateTuesday night by a number of prom-inent Santa Monica bay citizens toabout forty officers from the four shipsanchored here. Most of the party hadbeen to the banquet at Redondo earlierin the evening and returning tarried avhile at the Venice dance pavilion,after which they repaired to tho shiphotel, where a dainty repast wasserved. Admirals»Thomas and Sperrywero among the officers present. Thecivilians included Mayor and Mrs. T.H. Dudley of Santa Monica, Mr. andMrs. David Evans, Mr. and Mrs. H. B.Eakins, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Russelland many others. Covers were laidfor 100.

-*-Abbot Kinney entertained Capt.Charles W. Bartlett of the Ohio atluncheon on board the ship hotel onWednesday.

Members of the G. A. R. and thaWomen's Relief corps went aboard theships in a body Friday morning, as didalso the ladles of the W. C. T. U.. whopresented tho sailors and marines withcomfort bags as mementos of theirstay in these waters.

The women of the- Santa Monica bayfleet commttee tendered a delightful re-ception Friday afternoon at the Cali-fornia military academy to the officersof the battleships. Punch was servedand a large number of guests wcro re-ceived from 2 o'clock to 4.

Mnrlettu Alhonl mill Knrl Forme*

TI i 1-: greatest contralto of the mid-dle of the century was undoubtedlyMarietta Albnnl, the daughter of a

customs house officer of Casena, Ro-magnn. She was born In 1822, and llkomom of the great singers, showed hertalent early. She was placed undergood teachers, and attracted the atten-tion of Rossini by her beautiful voice.He also gave her instruction In some ofher parts. Thus she had the honor ofbeing Rossini's pupil. In 1842 she madeher first appearance In opera, and wassoon engaged :it La Scala, Milan, whoreshe remained for four years. She thenwent to Vienna, and traveled throughEurope, creating a general furore.

Albonl was not an actress; she was asinger, smiply and absolutely, and herHinging 1 was men H to carry every-thing boforo It. Her tones were rich,full, mellow and liquid—sumptuous,they have been called —and of pure andgreat sympathetic quality. It was notan even voice, for her upper registerwas thin. Here is where the wonderfulvoice of the now famous contralto,Mme. Schumann-Heink, excels. Herhigh B flat is as full and pure as asoprano voice; her range Is a marvel.Mme. Albonl was greatly beloved, dis-position was amiable, but she was Inde-pendent and dignified, and in Germany

while comparatively unknown she de-clined to seek the favor of the press,preferring to trust to tho Judgment oftho public. Once when Albonl was atTrieste she was Informed of the exist-ence of a plot to hiss her off the stage,

owing to her being an Italian; theywere angry to think she had sung inMunich and Vienna to German audi-ences, and they thought she ought toreceive some castlgatlon for her un-patriotic conduct. Shs ascertained thenames of her detractors, where they

\u25a0were to be found, and donned mnlo at-tire and went to the prtfe at which theconspirators met. She found them Infull consultation and listened to theirconversation, let on she was Interestedand would enjoy a little practical Jokeherself, and Joined with them for theoccasion, asking what she should do.The leader asked her to "take a whistleand at a signal to be given at the con-clusion of an aria sung by Albonl thenoise will begin." She placed thewhistle In her pocket. That night thehouse was packed. In due course Mme.Alboni appeared, and even before thesignal was given some of the conspir-ators began to make a disturbance.Without showing any concern Albonlwalked down to the footlights, andholding up the whistle, which washung from her neck by a ribbon, shesaid: "Gentlemen, are you not a littlebefore your time? I thought we werenot to commence the hissing- until afterI had sung my aria." For a moment adeathlike stillness prevailed.

Then suddenly the house broke intothunders of applause, which was ledby the conspirators themselves, andthere was no hissing of this greatartist after that. Albonl visited theUnited States in 1852 Just after thevisit of Jenny Llnd and received acordial welcome. In 1853 she marriedCount Pepoll and soon retired frompublic life. She is said to have ex-pressed some disappointment as toher visit to America. In social life theCountess Pepoll was as much the idolof her friends as she had previouslybeen of the public. The last time shesang In public was In 1871 when shesang the contralto part in Rossini'smass. The composer had desired thatshe sing this part before his deathwhen it was given and she kept herpromise. In 1877 she married for thesecond time, a Major Zleger. Shelived near Paris, and in 1892 the writerhad the pleasure of going to her hometo moot this gTeat artist, then an oldcharming woman. Her death tookplace at the Villo d'Avray( her home),Paris, in 1894, at the age of 72 years.

Karl Formes was one of the mostremarkable basses of his time, in spiteof the fact that he frequently offendedby false intonation. Formes was ason of a sexton of Muhlhelm on theRhine and was born In 1810. Hegrew up with a strong love for musicand the drama and at the age of 16his enthusiasm was such that whenEssler, the actor, appeared in Cologneyoung Karl, not having money enoughto pay for both the ferry and histicket to see Kssler, he tied his clothesaround his neck and swam the Rhinerather than miss the performance. Hegained the greater part of his musicaleducation by singing in choirs. WhenStaudigl, the great basso, sang thepart of Bertram at the opera in Co-logne Formes listened to his singingwith awe and begged to sing this samepart the following year with great suc-cess. So delighted was Staudigl, whoheard him, that he at once introducedKarl Formes as his successor.

In 1841 Formes made his debut inopera. He then appeared In Vienna,and In 1849 appeared in London with aGerman company and was engaged atCovent Garden the following year,where he sang for fifteen years. Hehad a voice which, for volume, com-pass and quality, was one of the mostmagnificent ever heard; a fine, hand-some and attractive stage presence andexceptional dramatic ability. He wasof a unsettled, roving disposition, andspent much of his time In Russia andSpain. In 1857 he visited the UnitedStates and began a wandering life inthis country, singing in all the largecities. In 1882 he, being 72 years of age,married a Miss Pauline Greenwood,who had been one of his pupils inPhiladelphia. They shortly afterwardsettled In San Francisco, where hefrequently sang, and had a number ofpupils. His voice was wonderfullywell preserved, he being strong and ac-tive until his death, which came in1889. He Is burled in San Francisco,far from his little home in Germany.Emperor William I asked him to singat court once. Formes was delightedwith the opportunity. The emperorapplauded loudly and demanded an en-

core and seemed highly delighted withhis singing. Niemann (who was Jeal-ous of the success of Formes) cameout with an article In one of the pa-pers saying: "Karl Formes sang atcourt before the emperor, and sangatrociously, bellowing and shouting inBtentorlan tones. Everybody was Inagony until it was over, and tho em-peror remarked that Formes wouldmake a fine dragoon officer, shoutingcommands with this great voice." KarlFormes never forgave Niemann forthia false statement, and the emperornever allowed Niemann to enter thepalace again, nor to appear at court,which served him right.

The writer "Mephisto" of the MusicalAmerica says:

"Just at a time when I hoped thatthe entire musical family was at peacewith itself, the affecting news comesthat my dear little friend, Frltzl Scheff,is in New York to get a divorce.

"The lady's real name is the Baron-ess Frederick yon Bardeleben, as sometime ago she married that distinguishedrepresentative of nobility. Fritzi Scheffis Just back from a 15,000-mile tour,which has been very successful, and asshe said in an interview with a re-porter, she now 'proposes to take along sleep.'

"Curious, isn't it, that so many ofthese charming singers, who can earnmoney as well as the good will andkindly regard of the public, manage 1otie themselves up with some scion ofnobility, whose strength is expendedupon his personal appearance and theexpenditure of the prima donna'smoney?"

It is seldom that a boy so young asMaster Bettin is willing to attempt arecital, but this little fellow, only 12years of age, yet extremely ambitious,is anxious to match his talent withothers who are much more experiencedin the profession.

He expects to make music his lifework. He enters into the musicalspirit with a determination to eventu-ally become one of our recognizedsoloists.

Master Bettin will appear in recitalat Simpson auditorium Friday even-ing, May 8, assisted by a vested choirof boys and Jamie Whitson Overtoil,violinist. Mr. Overton is a pupil ofNatorp Blumenfeld and has attractedconsiderable attention Jn this city byhis wonderful technique and superbbowing.

Lillian A. Smith, concert pianist, hasarranged for a recital to bo given Tues-day evening of this week at the Gamutclub auditorium. Miss Smith was aspecial student of Lesehetizky for fourseasons and has appealed with signal

special program, which she has con-sented to give, and will be assisted by

Miss Blanche Ruby, the well knownsoprano, and Misa Elizabeth Jordan,accompanist. The program is a variedone and of great Interest to both stu-dent and teacher as well as the gen-eral public. The program numbers areas follows:

Undoubtedly the most important andmost interesting musical event forSouthern California since the adventof the Conried opera company Is thecoming of the New York Symphonyorchestra and Walter Damrosch to thiscity, the middle of nezt month. Mr.Behymer considers this the crowningmusical event of the season and oneof the most notable musical events inthe history of the state.

The New York Symphony orchestrais the only organization of its kindin New York city that engages itsmembers by the year, so that rehears-als may be called every day at the willof the conductor. The result is thatthis organization either gives a con-cert or rehearses every day and hasreached a degree of excellence thatplaces it in the very front ranks ofthe world's great musical organiza-tions. The members have been gath-ered from all parts of the universe,many of them eminent soloists andeach one a first-class artist.

Walter Damrosch needs no Introduc-tion to our music lovers; they knowhim as both opera and concert conduc-tor, pianist composer and lecturer. Hisconducting of the Wagner cycle withthe Grau opera company will neverbe forgotten by those who witnessedthose remarkable performances withcasts such as no European opera househas ever equaled. It was in this man-ner Manager Behymer first introducedWalter Damrosch to Los Angeles inold Hazard pavilion. He is a typicalAmerican, and one of the musiciansthis country has every reason to beproud of.

Madam Hisson de Mosse, the so-prano, possesses a splendidly cultivat-ed and extremely beautiful voice andhas been soloist with every Importantorchestra and choral society in thiscountry. There are other soloists ofequal merit to be Introduced.

The opening night will probably pre-sent the celebrated French-Italiannights, with eight new compositionsnot yet heard on the Pacific coast; apopular concert for the matinee andthe tremendous Russian-Slavic nightto close the series. It is possible thata special afternoon recital will be ar-ranged for the school children, with achildren's program selected with aview of .Instructing as well as enter-taining the younger students of music.

Jennie Osborn Hannah is to sing atCovent Garden soon. She is cast forElizabeth, Eva and other youthful so-prano roles in Wagner operas. Mrs.Hannah is a Chicago singer and at onetime was a pupil of the writer, coach-ing in oratorio. Her voice Is a brilliantone, of good range and superiorquality.

Russell C. Page, a young baritone ofLos Angeles, has a voice of greatpromise.

Lucille Marcel, the New York so-prano, now of the Paris opera, sangrecently before the czarlne at Tsarskoe-Selo. Jean de Reske is especially in-terested in Miss Marcel's voice. Sheis to sing In London during the season.

-\u2666-The Treble Clef club will give an

orchestral and choral concert May 8,under the direction of Leandro Campa-nari of New York. There will be sixtymembers of the orchestra, Herr Ar-nold Krauss is to be concert masterand about seventy voices In the chorus.The program will be of Interest to thepublic, and under the baton of Mr.Campanari success is assured. He atone time was the director at La Scalaand at the Manhattan in New York.

Carl Lanzer, tho famous Americanviolin virtuoso and violin maker, willarrive In Los Angeles in May and giveat least two recitals here.

Two young Los Angeles musiciansmet with great success at Phoenix,Ariz., singing "The Messiah" there lastTuesday night. The Republican says:"Miss Marie Thomas was most pleas-ing. Her voice was distinguished by amellow richness, sympathy and appeal-ing quality which was well adapted tothe quiet and sacred theme of theoratorio.

"Irving Andrews has made noticeableimprovement during his experience on

the coast. He approached the motifs ofthe composition with a seriousness andsympathy that is as effectual in arous-ing admiration as merely glorious tone,

even in which his voice was a rare de-light to the hearers."——Miss Frances Mallory of the seniorclass of the college of music, Univer-sity of Southern California, will giveher graduating recital Tuesday even-ing.
