ton Is in the front rank Of our local vio-
linists and has benefited greatly by a
few months sojourn in Europe last sum-
mer, when he was in the hands OF sew
eral of the greatest living masters or
the instrument. Mr.. Hamiltons reap
pearance here in concert will be an occa-
sion of more than ordinary interest. He
is whole-souled musician. and his
clever guidance of the Women's orches,
ira, which gave several pleasant con-
certs last season. has won for him
very enviable reputation among music

ing violin teachers in Los Angeles, gave
pupils recital last Wednesday even
ing at the Blanchard Fitzgerald music
hall. The pupils taking part were Mr.
clarence Cook Mr.. Arthur Perry. Master

choice one and we'll rendered and re-

The violin recital given by Mr.. Edwin
n. Clark last Monday evening at the
Southern California music rooms was
very enjoyable event. Mr. Clark was
assisted by Mrs. Minnie Hance Owens,
contralto, and Mrs. ]. Roth Hamilton,
soprano, and Miss Eva E. Ellsworth, ac-
companist.
One of the most delightful of the city's
orchestras is that which discourses
sweet music nightly at the Palace. The
little band is ably led by Miss Berth,
who is an accomplished violiniste, and
VINO is assisted by a sister, father and
brother. George Cam. the debonair
leader of the Seventh Regiment band,
ana TWO more clever musicians, making
a fine septet. But Papa" Berth. who
plays the cornet. and Herewith bugles
the little company to work, is altogether
too good natured. Requests from the au-
oience are numerous and Papa" is in
dulgent. The intermezzo from the Cav
alieria Rusticana Is a beautiful piece of
music, but its nightly repetition (by re-
quesD is in danger of making too much
or good thing and rendering Mascagni's
beautiful air hackneyed
handsomely printed and attractively
bound, The Evolution Of the Art of
Music, by Hubert H. Parry. is valuable
addition to the Messrs. Appleton's Inter
national Science series, Of which it
forms part. The book aims to be syn
thesis OF musical history from the first
rude e.forts Of the savage man to the
advanced symphonic forms of the mod
ern art. And it has not failed of its mis-
sion. Seldom have we seen in limited
scope OF some three hundred and odd
pages so complete and exhaustive a
treatise in brief of the subject. Dr. Par
ry brings to bear upon his subject all the
resources of the profound student and
thinker. and his notes and observations
upon music. in its progress though the
ages, are full of vital force and pregnant
with interest
A genuine find has just been made of
two previously unknown compositions
Of Beethoven's in the library of the Teu-
tonic brotherhood at Troppau While
examining one of the presses at the in
stitute Brother Eugen laid his hand on
a complete score in Beethoven's own
handwriting, of two marches dedicated
to the Archduke Anton Victor, grand
master of the order during 1S04-1s05-
one written in 1909, the other in 1910,
