Los ANGELEs THEATER The advance
sale OF seats for the engagement OF the
Tsvary Grand Eaglish opera company.
which opensd yesterday, exceeded all
expectations, being the larysst known
in recent years. which assures notable
ovation for the bsillises singef on her
appearance. Apropos OF Nine. Tavary's
coming an interesting story has just
come TO light which serves to fully illus
trste the old adage that kindness once
shown is never forgotten. Mms. Marie
Tsvary, Nav York, U. S, A.. was the
inscription on q email parcel which
passed through the Now York custom
house. On bsing opened it was found
to be nothing less than a miniature
golden horseshoe, thickly studded with
precious stones. 1t is very seldom that
gratitude for kindnese shown meets
with such substantial reward as is il
lustrsted in the remarkable career OF
Olga Ivanhoff. a native OF Moscow. 1t
was while einging in Noscow a number
OF yoars ago, during the oarly DAYS OF
her career. that Nine. Tsvary visited
the poor districts OF Moscow. In one of
the back rooms OF a crowded tenement
the party discovered d woman on her
death bed In the last stages OF consump.
tion. Her only attendant was child
scarcely ten.
Through the exer!ions of Nine.
Tavary the child WAS shortly afterwards
sent to public school, and fund suffi'
cienty large to give her proper sduca-
ton raised. When Nine. Tavary de-
cided to accept foreign engagements,
she found herself in need OF maid,
and feeling more than pleased ct Oga's
rapid progress, selected her for the posi-
tion. Two years ago the girl returned
to her native country. During Nine.
Tavary's celebrated engagement at the
Madison Square Garden in New York
last May letter was received from 81.
Petersburg announcing the marriage OF
Olga to Loris Moskowi, noted Russian
painter. Nine. Tavary had almost for
gotten the incident when this golden
horseshoe came to hand. A letter wac
enclosed in tho package which read
my dear benefsctress: To whom | owe
my present position. Loris and | send
this slight remembrance. Our graft
tude to you is shared by One above. who
will ever look upon you IA having been
my guardian angel. Lovingly.
There &ro many other tales told OF
Nine. Tavsry's great sympaihy for the
poor, but this js one instance where 1t
met with truly unexpected rsward.
Manager Wyatt desires to announce
through The HERALD that owing 10 the
unprecedentedly large demand for seste
yesterday. but few more desirable loce-
tiops remain.
