Misses and Masters Hawkins evoked en-
thusiastic applause. Charles Hawkins

Hawkins amused the audience with hts
excellently rendered comic songs, and
the tiny Misses Hawkins gave some
charming character songs and duets.
A character sketch, 'The Three Old
Maids Of Lee" caused much laughter
and applause. Mention should also he
made Of 1.-The Nightingale" a threa-
part madrigal composed by Thomas
Weelkes in the year 1897, which was ade-
quately rendered by Mary, Charles ana
Frank Hawkins. The choristers of st.

cores for their three choruses, and the
whole program was greatly enjoyed.

gineer, having been unable for some time
to find any channel through which to
practice his profession, has now arrived
: at the end of his resources, and in order
that little Paloma may continue her mii-
steal education it Is deemed advisable
for her to add her mite to the family ex-
chequer and the concert for Thursday
night has been arranged under the man
agement of the Fitzgerald Music COM
pany.
1t Is very sad that child of nine years.
q dainty, beautiful little girl, should have
pecuniory responsibilities thrust upon
her, and 1t is earnestly to be hoped that
the public will respond in such numbers
at this her first concert that the receipts
will be large enough to enable her to go
into retirement again and proceed with
the natural development of herself and
her music without being subjected to
the demoralizing effects of concert CIV
ing until she has physical maturity
that is equal to the strain upon it.
Her program Thursday evening will
include great works from the classics,
and some of her own dainty, naive mu-
steal thoughts and her present
accomplishment Is so delightful
that there Is not the slightest doubt but
that all who attend the concert will be
more than recompensed in the enjoy
ment they will receive.

There can be but one reason for the as
siduous economy in the way of accom-
paniment which was so obtrusive in the
performances given by the Scalchi Con-
cert company this past week. 1t was
an economy that amounted to positive
asceticism, and must have been as pain
full to the really great artists themselves
as 1t was to those in the audiences who
knew or cared anything for the music
they went to hear. 1t is safe to assume
that in no other city which deserves the
name will the organization risk such an
insult to the public or to their own rep
utations as artists by trying to sing the
kind of music they present without or
chestral support. And the reason they
dared attempt it here the Los Angeles
public is alone responsible for.
: The blame lies at our own doors and
1t Is this We claim a population Of one
: hundred thousand; we also make bold
/ assertion for culture, refinement and in
! tellect. We assume to be a metropolis
Instead of an overgrown country town.
And yet when great musical artists come
here we stay at home and read the pa
pers, or we go to church socials, or to
nsighborhoed card parties. instead Of
einaklng an effort-if effort it be-to sup
port q thing that we have reason to be-
\ n1leve is good, by giving it our patronage.
{. The consequence s,>that our reputation
Of being dullards, as far as things attis-
tic are concerned, has gone abroad.
The better the artist the greater his
or her hazard in trying to give a per-
formance in Los Angeles; and when
they do. come they make their expenses
as light as possible that their financial
reward may be the greater. There is no
one to remedy the existing state Of
things, nor to repair the unsavoriness Of
the reputation, except the people them
selves. If word to the wise is suffi-
cient; let it be proven in the future

A dispatch from Philadelphia of De-
cember 9Th says: Mime. Marie Barna
(Barnard), the California prima donna.
made her debut on the American stage
tonight with the Damrosch- Ellis opera
company. Nine. Barna essayed the role
of Brunhilde in "Siegfried," and was
very successful. She has a soprano voice
of superior quality, and she has display
ed much knowledge of her art. Nine.
Barna was born in San Francisco and
is the daughter Of the late Judge Bar
nard, well-known California jurist.
She is the protege Of several society
women of California, New York and
Boston, and has studied abroad for the
past three years. She appeared profess
sionally in Italy and London before
coming to America to sing. The critics
unite in pronouncing tonight's debu-
tante a decided acquisition to the strong
Damrosch company. Besides Brunhilde,
Nine. Barna will appear as Elsa in "Lo-
hengrin," Sieglinde in "Gotterdammer-
ung," Valentine In "The Huguenots,"
and in Aida.

The San Francisco Call is responsible
for the following choice mdrsel: There
used to be some unhappy differences of
opinion about Arthur Nikisch when he
was in America as conductor of the Bos-
ton symphony orchestra, but Nikisch
has proved himself a veritable wizard
of the baton since then. AS conductor OF
the Berlin Philharmonic society he some
months ago took his organization to
Paris and performed the marvellous feat
of winning unstinted applause for
band of Germans in the most chauvin-
istic of French cities. Since his victory
in Paris Niklsch has been signing for
fresh worlds to conquer and 1t is now
announced that in the spring he will
bring his Berlin Philharmonic society
to America for series Of concerts In
New York and other large cities. In
asmuch as Mr.. Nikisch was quite the
same wizard of the baton" when he was
in America as he is now, except in the
opinion of few hyper sensitive cranks;
and inasmuch as the offers have been
large and have come from this side OF
the water for the great conductor TO
bring his orchestra over, the above
vagary loses its force and its value as
musical news.
