Los ANGELES THEATER.-The second
Philharmonic concert, under the direc
ton of Prof. A. j. Stsmm, was giver
last night. The programme announced
that the orchestra was composed of Al
of the best professional musicians o.
Los Angeles, and the performance, as g
whole, was very much better than could
fairly have been expected from $40 pro-
fessionals," who did not ordinarily play
in the same orchestra. The opening
number was the Pilgrim chorus, from
Wagner's Tannhauser, and was per
formed in manner indicative of full
appreciation of the music as music, and
also of conscientious and protracted
drill on the part of the musicians as in
dividuals and in their several capacities
as integral parts of the orchestra.
A dainty played selection was the
march Hongroise from La Dsmnstion
de Faust by Bertioz. This evidenced
particularly the excellent balance pre-
served in the construction of the or
chestra, the strings, brass and wood
each doing their part, but neither over
towering the other. Probably the most
exigent selection was the Tannhauser
march, but it was rendered with excel
lent expression, and it's complications
were given in way to suit the most
devoted Wsgnerian.
Mrs. L. j. Llewellyn then gave pleas.
ure to the audience by the ballads she
sang. Her voice is rich and we'll cult
waited. She was warmly applauded.
The quintette for piano and viola,
xsaI. I'D oil -. H.
Stamm, Francisco, Wachtel, Tomaszewioz
and Bierlich was very effective.
Mr.. Stamm has greatly improved his
orchestra since the first concert and now
has every reason to feel more than salts
fed with the result of his enterprise and
professional skill.
The house was filled by fashionable
yet discerning audience.
All the admirers of the famous come
dian, Mr.. John Dillon, will be pleased
at the announcement that he will be
seen here in new and successful
comedy, A Model Husband. For go
many years has Mr.. Dillon stuck to his
old successes that his friends despaired
of ever seeing him in anything new.
He has surprised them this season,
however. A Model Husband will be
presented Friday and Saturday.

Modern minstrelsy is but an imitation
and when the initiated are personatol
the success is genuine. There will be
noticeable deviation in the first part
That eameness that marks the overture
of all minstrel performances will be Ell

performances at the Grand opera house

OF Miss Mabel Jenness. who will LEI

the following to say:
Seldom is it that one sees woman
corseted or otherwise, who has graC
and freedom OF movement. For tellin
women how to cultivate graceful an
beautiful bodies, no better person coul
be selected than Miss Jennees. Sh
would be noticed anywhere in any crow
for that stateliness and sinuousness
movement which is the outward etam
of the queenly rank of women anon
created things. Her every movement
a line of beauty, like the 1.-THE, lisson
movements of splendid cat.
