A great patriotic concert will be given
In the Los Angeles theater tomorrow
week, and will include, among other
things, a rendering of patriotic songs,
with the accompaniment of the band, by
Miss Mary Linck of New York. Miss
Linck is we'll and most favorably known
among all opera lovers in this country
and England, possessing contralto voice
Of magnificent range, and combining nat
ural sweetness and richness with high
ly artistic training. The few who have
heard her voice during her sojourn in
Los Angeles have been charmed, and
prophesy that she will Immediately be-
come a favorite. Besides Miss Linck j.
Bond Francisco (violinst) and Thomas
L. Rowan (tenor) will be soloists, and a
chorus Of two hundred voices, under the
direction of Frederick Stevenson, includ-
Ing some of the best voices in the city,
will render several numbers. All accom-
paniments will be played by the Seventh
Regiment band, which also contribute
some numbers, under the direction Of
George Cam. The object of this con-
cert must not be lost sight Of that of
raising funds for the formation Of a
home guard. The program will be as
follows:
Overture, "Tannhauser" (Wagner), Sew
enth Regiment band.
Bridal Chorus (Cowen), Chorus and

Mr.. Fitzgerald of this city, who is rap
idly developing into an impressario of di-
mensions, writes The Herald as follows:
II have received most encouraging re-
ports, stating that subscriptions to the
Ysaye concerts are coming in thick and
fast, and have concluded to close a con-
tract with him. The dates will be on the
evenings of May S1st and June 1st, and \
matinee performance on June I'd, all at
Simpson auditorium. Ysaye's accompa-
mist will be Lachaume, and not Sobrino,
as was at first supposed: These two,
with Gerardy, the king of the cello,
will give Los Angeles people a delicious
treat, which, In my estimation, will prove
superior to anything heretofore heard in
our city.
"Now, have another surprise for you.
I have just closed a contract for the ap-
pearance at two chamber concerts in Los
Angeles of the renowned Kneisel Quartet
en- the evenings of Monday and Tuesday,
May 23d and oath, at Simpson audito>
rum.
MY work with little Paloma has been
gratifying success. I give performances
tonight and tomorrow night here, as well
as matinees next Friday and Saturday.
On Tuesday I go again to San Jose and
give matinee. On Tuesday evening and
Wednesday matinee of next week she ap-
pears in Oakland again. Paloma is well,
happy and as lovely as ever"
