! HAZARDS PAVILION Any smaller
sized house than the pavilion would
have been insufficient to eeat the tre-
mendous throng OF humanity which was
anxious last night to hear Sousa's band.
| It's reputation has been heralded far and
wide, and Los Angeles vas bound to hear
the magicians who can draw melodious
and harmonious strains out of instru-
ments OF brass and Of copper. Its
leader, John Philip Sousa, had bsen
here before with the Marine band, and
those who mad seen him WELD his magic
baton wanted to see him again bringing
forth by the stroke of his wand sueh
music as is seldom heard here.
There was no disappointment. In
fact, after the rendition o! Tschaikokws-
ky's overture, "1S12," the enthusiasm
became boundess, and encore after en-
core was demanded. After a couple of
popular numbers, during which the ap-
plause showed thst the audience was
especially greedy for that kind OF music,
and more particularly for Sousa marches.
Mr.. Sousa WAS not backward in letting
ecution of the band was at all times
splendid, Paderewski's Minust Antique
and Liszt's Rhapsodie Hongroise were
rendered in a masterful and delightful
manner. Arthur W. Pryor's from bone
solo WAS a revelatioa. Such delicate
sliding as was done by him was never
before witnessed in Los Angeles and

GRAND OPERA HoUsE.-The tragedy OF
Marie Antoinette was produced last
night by a company OF amateurs for 3
worthy charity. The large audiencs
present witnessed one OF the smoothest
amateur performances ever given in this
city.
Father Montgomery, the rec.n ntly ap-
pointed coadjutor to the bishop of Mon
terey and Los Angeles, delivered . short
address of welcome.
The play, which deals with French
history Of the time of Louis XVI, was
weak from dramatic standpoint, and
the success OF the production must be
credited to the clever work Of the prin-
cipRls and the able stage MANAGEMENT of
Mr.. Fitzgerald Murphy, who directed
the performance.
Miss Mary Howard In the title role
was exceedingly good and impaired a
simple grace to the character which
made it a charming impersonation. She
also showed evidence of much reserve
force in the stronger passages, when her
queenly dignity was called in PLAY.
Mas Coates as Marie Theresa, Miss L.

Madam Elizabeth were aleo very clever,
While the King Louis of Mr.. FAR all
and the Able Edgeworth OF Mr.. Nc
Garry were as we'll played as their linn.
tied opportunities would allow.
Little remains TO be said OF the re-
mainder of the cast. but the costumes,
stage settings and effects were all good.
Miss Bertha Roth sang For All Etern-
ity very sweetly between acts one and
two, and Miss Dora HovelPs vocal se.
lection, Forbidden Music, was well rem
dered.

thing is possible, surpassed his former
efforts, and won the admiration of all
while Mckee RAnkin ae Private Boales
and Miss George Woodthorpe as Grace
Milton, appeared to great advantage in
their respective characters. Little

A very pleasant impromptu pro.
gramme wac given last evening at the
Los Angeles Conservatory of music in
place Of the piano recital by Miss N.
Kun5.
Owing TO some Misunderstanding Miss
Margaret Kunz and Miss Mattie Price
were not present.
Especial mention is due to the violin
solos played by little Misc Elsa Msttern,
the young violiEist who has studied one
year at the Leipsic conservatory and is
now studying at the Los Angeles con-
ser 7atory. The vocal solos by Mics
Edythe Parker and reading by Mics
