FOR THE NEWSBoYS
Preparations for the Grand Concert
Next Monday Evening

Many otherwise good singers have a
way of smothering or mouthing their
words that makes it impossible to un-
derstand what is said. AS an excuse or
explanation it is said to be necessary
to sacrifice the words to the music.
Miss Ellen Beach Yaw, however, like
other really great singers, has no oc-
singing not only is the music perfectly
and most exquisitely rendered, but th5
sentiment of the selection is fully de-
veloped. Every word is clear and dis
tinct, every syllable perfectly enunci
ated. The meaning of the composer i.
by the great prima donna as faithfully
interpreted and the sentiment as truly
expressed as by a gifted elocutionist
with the added charm of the melody and
harmony.
This great artist appears at the Los
Angeles theater next Monday evening
at a grand benefit concert in aid of the
Newsboys' home, assisted by an array oil
talented singers and musicians.
Tomorrow morning at II o'clock Cap
tain Thomas B. Merry will sell the
boxes for this entertainment at auction
to the highest bidder in the lobby of the
Los Angeles theater, and the sale oi
seats will begin at the box office at
o'clock. Those who have purcha sed dol
lar tickets may exchange them for re-
served seats without additional charge
