Los Angeles herald., 1892-10-14
AMUSE MEN is.

The Apollo clup gave its eighth con-
cert last evening at the Los Angeles the
ater, Mr.. Robert f. Paulsen being the
conductor, and Mr.. Charles Ward the
accompanist.
A very appropriate vintage song, Au
tumn is Come Again, by F. Corder, was
given by the chorus with most pleasing
vivacity and expression, followed by
Homeward. by Henry Leslie.
Mrs. DIR. Owens then sang an aria
from Meyerbeer's lie Prophetic, Ach,
Mein Sohn. Mrs. Owens charming per-
sonality and RANT face lend themselves
with great power to lighter music, but
her powerful simpatico voice is equally
delig ghtful in such a heavy number as
the above aria as it was later in Ethel
bert Nevin's rollicking One Spring
Morning, and the plaintive, The Night
Has a Thousand Eyes. Mrs. Owens has
evidently not neglected her duties dur
ing the summer, her stirring, luscious
contralto showing evidence of conscien-
tious work.
Herr Rubo's first number was Men
deesohn's aria, Show Me, Almighty,
which he rendered in faultless wav !;
but on his second appearance, when he
sang Young Werner's Song of Farewell,
he surpassed himself. The eff ct of his
powerful, perfectly cultivated, rich bass
was indescribabe. In point of express
slveness and power, it is doubtful if this
effort has ever been equaled in this city.
The other numbers eung by the club
were To Sea! The Calm Is Der. by
Florence Marshall; The Secret, by G.
q. Reissiger, and Lord Ullin's Daugh-
ter, by Oliveria Prescott.
As rule there was little cause for
fault finding with the choral work, and
great many points where great praise
should be given. The standard of ex.
cellence has been greatly raised since
the last event of the past season, and
today the organization is one in which
the city should take pride.

The Swedish dialect comedy, Yon
Yonson, comes to the Grand opera
house on this evening and tomorrow.
The management state as follows: Gus
Heege, the Swedish dialect actor, and
the author of Yon Yonson, is a German
Nobody who hears his inimitable broken
Scandinavian, would ever suspect that,
however. Heege is the original OF this
peculiar tongue on the stage. He has
some imitators, as, indeed, has every
author and actor who has succeeded in
making hit, but Heege is the only man
who has been able TO thoroughly
master the Swedish brogue. He
has the additional advantage OF
naturally looking the Swede, qualiica.
tion of nature and not to be acquired.
Having passed a considerable appren-
ticeship in the lumber regions and
among the people whose lives bis play,
Yon Yonson, depicts, he combines with
his skill and naturalnees the thorough
comprehension of what the character re-
quires. 1t is not surprising, therefore,
that Yon Yonson has been meeting with
great success in its career across the
continent. The character ia new to
American audiences, and is not less
pleasing on that account.
