The concert for the benefit of the
Catholic church of Wilmington, at the
Wilmington hall, on Saturday night,
under the very efficient management OF
the Misses Carson of Dominguez ranch.
proved grand artistic and financial
success. The hall was well filed by the
cultured citizens OF Wilmington and
San Pedro "a we'll as large delegation
from Los Angeles and Redondo. all OF
whom expressed their unbounded de-
light at the rare treat given them by
the artists who kindly volunteered their
services for the occasion and the good
cause.
Professor Arevalo's celebrated guitar
club of Los Angeles were recalled time
and again by the delighted audience,
which is nothing new to the disting-
uished professor and his highly accom-
plished pupils. Professor Brenner and
his magical violin held the eager listen
ers SPELL l-bound by his wonderful skill on
that instrument. The event OF the
evening, however, were the solos by
Mrs. ]. M. Carson of San Pedro rancho.
Mrs, Carson is q graduate Of the musical
department of the convent of the Holy
Name OF San Francisco and is the pos
SCISSOR of one of the sweetest soprano
voices it has ever been the good fortune
of the writer to hear. To say that the
audience was delighted and entranced as
the artists pure, sweet and powerful
voice filed the hall with its volume of
enhancing sound, is putting it very
mildly.
Miss Hannah Reese, soprano, 40 well
known in Los Angeles musical circles,
was given several encores for her superb
Singing
Wilson's orchestra furnished the
music for the dancing, which brought to
Q close one of the most enjoyable even
ing entertainments that Wilmington has
seen for many day, while the culti-
waited people of this sleepy little city by
the sea are under many obligations to
the Misses Carson for their indefstiga-
BILE efforts to provide them musical
treat, and to Mrs. Anita d. de Guyer for
her very liberal assistance in making
the concert q financial success.
