IN THE CAUSE OF CHARITY
A Crowded House Expected Tonight.
Other Soloists, the Woman's Or
chestra, Sextet and Quartets

The advance sales of this evening S
concert at the Los Angeles theater give
very reasonable hope that the much
needed additions and improvements, in
the way of more rooms an furniture
may be speedily made in the Newsboys
Home. Every seat in the house is to be
sold; the free list is suspended, and the
house promises to be filled from foot
lights to roof. A very large majority of
the audience will be those who, having
heard Miss Yaws delicious voice and
superior art, are anxious to hear her
again; there will be others who, not hav-
ing before had the opportunity, will seize
upon this one to hear singer who has
an International reputation.
| Again, there will be those who will go
TO help on most worthy cause, though
they do not care especially for music in
any form; and still others who 60 for
both reasons. Therefore it is safe to
conclude that standing room will be at
premium after o'clock tonight For

The Denver Times said the morning
after one Of Miss Yaw's concerts there:
"One could not help feeling, as he
listened to Miss Yaw last evening, that
he was in the presence of one Of the
most remarkable women in musical his
tory. Such an amazing voice, and one
that, withal, is SO human and winsoma
it is the lot of people to hear only about
once in a generation. Our grandparents
speak of Jenny Lind, and our parents
heard Patti in their prime; Ellen Beach
Yaw should be the memory of this gem
Grafton.
1T is said of Miss Yaw-indeed, she
says it of herself-that she sings those
SAtA oOi dliloiy AOlSS, HOl UeCduSe SHE
likes to see how high she can sing, but
because they are her own way of ex-
pressing her own musical feeling. She
delivers them in "a kind of musical play,
and to hear and watch her do so is to
envy her and to wish that we all could
toss our voices around in little globules
of ringing sound as she does; that we
could laugh in music as she does3 that
|
our trifling little romances and all our
fanciful conceits in the same exquisite
way"
