A Beach Entertainment.
An enterprising knight of the pencil,
who is sojoulning at Santa Monica for
several days, got up novel entertain
ment on Friday evening. The perform
ers were all juveniles, and little girl
named Irena Bollinger especially dis
tinguished herself. This little tot can
sing and recite in surprisingly clever
manner. She promises to develop into
great singer one of these days. A
feature of the performance was the
vocalism of Willie Mendoza, who is
familiarly called $40 Jo'' by the
beachites. He jumbles all songs up in
such promiscuous manner, that he
has made pronounced hit. He is
undersized and claims to be native
OF Mexico. His style of dress is enough
to make the most dignifed smile.
