PASADENA

| PASADENA, July S.-(ReguIar CORE
spondence) Auditorium hall was filled
with an unusually fine audience this even
ing to hear Miss Alice Coleman, pianist,
assisted by Miss Anna M. Wood. contralto
and Mr.. Edwin H. Clark, violinist, and 1t is
not too much to say that the character OF
the evenings entertainment was such as
has not been afforded to Pasadenans for
some time. Miss Coleman has, of course,
been heard in Pasadena number of times.
this being her home, and having large
number of friends here they were out in
full force, filling the hall so that there
was very few vacant seats at the hour
announced for the opening of the program,
which was as follows:
| Rhapsody in E minor (Margaret Ruthven
Lang.
"On the Way to Kew" dedicated to Miss
Wood (Foote).
| "Die Stille" (Schumann).
"Aus Dem Meer" (Franz).
20, Swallow Flying South" (Foote).
| Adagio Eligique (WieniawskD.
Perpetual Motion (Ries).
Etude in D fiat Giszt).
Minuet (Mrs. H. H. A. Beach,.
| Etude in C sharp minor (Chopin).
| Waltz (MosskowskD.
| "Loch Lomond," old Scotch air (ar-
ranged by Arthur Foote).
"A Red, Red Rose" (Georg HenscheD.
Cycle, Told In the Gate &c. w. Chadwick).
Chanson Ancienne. with violin obligato
| (od French).
| Polonaise (Nicode).
| Miss Coleman is we'll known to Pasa-
denans as a fine artist. but her work this
evening demonstrates that she has i'm
proved since she was last heard here, a
year ago. the added year of study having
given further artistic finish to her execu-
ton.
Miss Wood possesses full, rich contralto
voice, to which an additional charm Is
given by the thorough training She has
had She sings with feeling and at the
same time with artistic taste, making her
selections most enjoyable.
Mr.. Clark's violin numbers were given
in his usal fine style, the Adagio Eligique
being especially enjoyable. Mr.. Clark is
we'll known as an artist of great ability.
The audience was an appreciative one,
and the artists were recalled a number of
times, the Chanson Ancienne by Miss
Wood, with violin oblgato by Mr.. Clark
and piano accompaniment by Miss Cole
man, being especially well received, and
deservedly so.
THE SEWER QUESTION
Now that the prospects are good that
the East Side sewer will be abandoned
for the present, there is quite gene, al
discussion of the advisability of bonding
the entire city to construct sewer sys-
tenn throughout the municipality. There
are many property owners who favor this,
particularly for the reason that the work
can be done cheaper now than at any time
before, and also that it would give en-
ployment to men who are in need OF work.
The principal difficulty in the way of carry
ing the bonds by popular vote. for which
two-thirds of the votes are necessary, is
that some property owners have been
obliged to pay for connecting with the
present sewer system, and there appears
to be no provision of law by which they
can be reimbursed. Consequently some of
them are opposed to helping to pay for the
sewer system of the entire city on the
ground that they would not be treated
eauitably in the matter. This is really a
very short-sighted view to take of the
matter, however, since the construction
of the entire system throughout the city
would undoubtedly add much to the value
of all property, and be a great recon-
mendation to all who are contemplating
settling in Southern California, inducing
many of them to select Pasadena as home
who would otherwise go elsewhere. 1t is
to be hoped that the matter can be pushed
and that the bonds will be voted. AS
