r,,a public LIBRARY work.

THE most notable feature OF the inter-
view with Miss Burdick, acting Librarian
of the Public Library, published in "Tne
News, yesterday, was the disclosure OF
the exact relations which the Library
bears to the intellectual life of the city.
Her account of the manner in which the
demand for books follows the courses
of the higher schools and the work OF
the literary societies shows how vastly
the Institution contributes to the pleasure
and the progress of our citizens.
IN the early days OF the Library, some
old fogy criticism was made upon It, TO
the effect that its would simply furnish
young people with silly fiction to per-
ysrt their morals and turn their heads.
We remember replying, at the time.
that it would probably answer far differ
ent ends; but, anyway, it would furnish
far better reading. even of the hctional
kind. than the young people would absorb
from dime novels and weekly story pap
ers. which they would assuredly ~patronize
if left to their own devices.
The result shows that 1.-THE News"
was right in prognosticating a great adj
vance in the tone of public reading.
We find an enormous mass of history,
science and philosophy borrowed out OF
the Library, not 10 SPEAK VI Tue deeii
supplied to students by it's reference de-
partment, and we find it's advantages JUST
fit into those tendencies to study and
Improvement which are in a peculiar de-
gree characteristic of this city's social
life.
The Library is an honor to the city and
q credit to its managers. No doubt when
it gets into larger and better quarters
and can spend ali it's money on BOOKS
it will do even more good than 1t does

ADJUSTMENTS

Los Angeles Theater-The house was
packed to the doors last night for the
opening of the Calhoun Opera Company
in Amorita. The Mystic Shriners, with
their families, filled large portion of
the body of the house, and boxes, loges
and the rest of the auditorium were
crowded with a very fashionable audi
ence.
The opera itself is a tuneful and melo-
dious composition, and the interpretations
were the most popular airs from other
popular operas. The company is vastly i'm
proved since they last sang here; the
choruses make up in good training and
prompt action what they may lack in
volume as to voice; the orchestra is ex-
ceptionally good and carries the weight
of the whole with an ease and spon-
taneity that speaks well for the conductor.
The libretto is not exactly Gilbertian,
but comic opera in which the dialogue
is less clear and every act is SO full of
pretty solos, duets and ensemble music,
that one can overlook lapses in the
diction.
AS Angelo Melonotti, Miss Adele
harrington is entirely captivating:
Jeanne Winston and all the other women
who essay mems roles fade into insignifi-
canoe in comparison.
Her features are as clear cut as a cameo; ;
her figure is slender, trim, 1.-the, and
fawless from her dainty pointed toes. to
the crown of her head with its reddish
brown hair. She carries herself with easy
poise and very natural grace, and
although she plays the part of man and a
lover, and an excellently good one, too,
she is refined, yet chic and irresistible.
Her contralto voice has wide range and a
very agreeable quality; and her waltz song
in the second act, won her warm re-
