THE HOSPITAL CONCERTS
A Brilliant Array of Musical
Artists Have Been
Selected.
There Are Still Number of Choice
Boxes to Be Had-Thursday's
Programme.

The lady managers of the festival con-
certs in aid of the Children's Hospital are
hopeful of realizing a large sum OF money
by the concerts to be given on Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings. The annual run
ming expenses of the hospital are over
$4,000 year, and the closest economy is
necessary to prevent a deficit. Most of
those applying for admission and treat
ment are charity patients, and it is char
ity that appeals to all.
San Francisco has never had an oppor-
tunity of listening to grander musical af
fair than has been designed by the lady
managers. A chorus of 1900 such voices
as will be heard on Tuesday and Wednes-
day nights has never been gathered in San
Francisco. The programmes have been
arranged TO please both the critical and
popular ear.
Joseph Hirschbach has chosen the per-
formers for the orchestra from artists of
the first order. Bernard Mollenhauer Will
act as concert master. Among other i'm
portant orchestral works TO be presented
Godard's new suite, "Scenes Poetique,"
will be given its first hearing in this City.
The soloists are all artists of high reputa-
ton. The soprano, Miss Elizabeth Bell,
will make her first public appearance in
the United States on this occasion. Miss
B ell has received hattering offers from the
East since her engagement for the Chill
dren's Hospital concerts has been an
nounced. She has declined these to sing
| in the cause OF charity.
| All Europe has sung the praise of Ugo
| Talbo, the tenor. He has lived in retire
| ment for some time, resting his voice, and
| comes again to the concert stage with re-
newed vigor and quality of tone.
The beauty and power of Robert Lloyd's
| barytone voice is we'll known and ad-
| mired. and, while he has not been heard
before in hall SO large, much is expected
Of him.
Cantor E. J. Stark and Miss Daisy Cohn
| will fill most important place on the pro-
gramme. Mr.. Stark is barytone of in
| ternatlonal renown aud Miss Cohen is a
local celebrity.
The people of Stockton, whence comes
Miss Madge Thornton, will not be alone in
the applause of her work since the ac-
/ counts of her phenomenal soprano voice
have gone abroad. S. Homer Henley, who
viii render the barytone solo in the chorus
| from 'Ernani," is young singer of great
talent and the possessor of a ss-barytone
voice of excellent quality.
The triple trio selected for the trio parts
in the Heavens are Telling" are. Miss
Josephine Sistermans, Mrs. A. A. Dewing,
Mrs. Frank Mccormack, Frank Coffin, J.
j. Morris, G. H. PhiIpott, Walter Camp
bell, j. NJ, Robinson and S. Homer Henley.
The brilliant artistic success of the affair
is assured by the above names and the es-
tablished reputation of the conductors, D.
P. Hughes and James Hamilton Howe.

minds of many that all of the choice boxes
have been sold. Such is not the case

every way as desirable as those that have
