MUSIC NOTES

Mrs. Gertrude Auld Thomas has never
given more convincing proof of her rank
las an artist than at the first Of series
|of song recitals last evening in the
Blanchard Fitzgerald hall. Her pro-
gram, which was carefully selected, was
delightfully."- presented, and, except for
an occasional tendency to vibrate, which
was probably due to nervousness, her
voice was quite at it's best.
Mrs. Thomas met and conquered the
dramatic and vocal exactions of the great
aria from the mad scene in Hamlet"
with a very delightful art. AS a we'll
merited encore, she sang Kjerulf's tragic
little "Synnove's Song" with delicious
mezza voce. For encore to the group Of
three songs, with which the program
opened, Won Stutzman's "Vainka's 8
Song" was given, with dainty naivete
Another of the particularly enjoyable
numbers was an "Old French Song"
Q7OO), by Martini. Mrs. Thomas was
ably assisted by Miss M. Edith Haines
who played her accompaniment with
sympathy. and three solo numbers be-
sides. The next recital will be given
February 2Sth.
The first matinee concert by the Los
Angeles Symphony orchestra, Harley
Hamilton, conductor, will be given this
afternoon in Music hall at $3.50 O'clock
The program will include, besides Bee

BURBANK THEATER.-The Ellie

this house last evening with presenta-
tion of the well known melodrama, "The
Stowaway." The piece contains the
usual number Of escapes and heroic
speeches, all Of which were greatly ap-
preciated by the gallery, which COM
posed the majority of the audience. w.
J. Elleford, in the title role, was we'll re-
ceived. AS Chucky the newsboy Jessie
Norton did much to add life and inter

latter is likely first night defect which
will be remedied as the week advances

LOS ANGELES THEATER.-A gem
uine coon minstrel show of the old
fashioned kind was that given by the
Maharas last night. The house was
not heavy, as might have been expected,
but the performance was quite a success
and better of it's class than is often seen
here. The first part Of the entertain
ment went very smoothly and the oio
that followed contained enough of the
knock-about element to please the
colored population who made very
considerable showing in the audience.
The minstrels will appear again tonight
and tomorrow they will close with two
performances, afternoon and evening.
ORPHEUM.-The usual large audi
ence last night witnessed performance
that was varied enough to suit the taste
of all parts Of the house. Among the
new turns Barney and Russell gave a
very earnest, energetic act that was
thoroughly well liked. The lady who
followed and who makes pictures with
colored sands wore yellow silk mex
pressibles and made new tableaux
which were greatly applauded She
does very clever work and one cannot
but admire the deft way in which she
juggles the sands of various hues to do
her bidding
Maud Beall Price is a monologue en-
tertainer and clever imitator. She is
of the style but brighter than Caroline
Hull, who was here a few weeks ago
another difference between them being
that Miss Hull was a three-story vo-
calist, or so called triple voiced, while
Miss Price pretends only the possession
of two registers. She affords lots of
amusement in a clever breezy way and
was recalled several times. Patrice and
Alf Hampton repeated their pretty little
sketch, "a New Years Dream" which
keeps it's charm as we'll as ever. Grim
| mings and Gore have been here before
| and their amusing comedy skit Is en-
tirely funny and gets lots of laughter
and applause. The Farnum brothers
repeat their acrobatic work, which is
| excellent of it's kind. A couple OF
French people, Paulo and Dika, sing
some songs in French and the woman OF
| the team, who is decollete above and be.
low and is besides perfectly justified ir
her choice of costume, accompanies hei
songs with gestures that were applaud
ed by the gallery only. The rest Of the
house appeared surprised, but at the
| finish the applause was hearty and gen.
eral. The up-to-dateness of the turn il
not to be questioned.

Sleeping Hygiene.

Physicians declare One-half the
diseases flesh Is heir to are contracted
by sleeping two in a bed. 1t is Oaly
too true. There is poison constantly
rising from each body, which the other
inbales. Two single beds placed side
by side will do away with much of the
bad effect, and yet one need not feel
that he is really alone.
Away with heavy hangings, either
above or below the bed.
Beware of dusty, musty carpet
better sweetness AID a bare floor.
Do not fail to prov de some means OF
ventilation during tire night.
Keep the head cool while sleeping,
but not by draught of cold air falling
upon it.
If folding bed must be used, con
trive some way to keep it aired and
wholesome.
Let the pillow be high enough tt
bring the head in natural position
no more or less.
Thoroughly air the sleeping room
eve; y day. Air BID and bedding as of
ten as possible.
A dark, out-of-the way, unwholesome
correr is no more fitted for sleeping
room than parlOr.

LITTLE BO-PEEP.

Little Bo-Peep sits on my knee
Ii tie Bo-Psep with head of gold,
Softly singing in baby key
OF poor little sheep that WAS out in
the cold;
A poor little sheep that had lost it,
fold.
Just tina a sad little song might be
For little Bo-Peep with her three
years old
To sit aad solemnly sing to me.
Ready for bed is listie Bo-Peep
As she sits and sings while l hold
her tight;
Her serious eyes are round and deep,
Her little night gown is soft and
white,
And she sings of the sheep that was
lost in the night,
Lost in the cold while her lampkins
weep
Till the words grow sleepy, the eyes
shut ii hit
And little Bo-Peep is fast asleep.
Little b. Peep sleeps on my knee
Little Bo-Peep with her three years
While I think of the song in that baby
key
OF the poor little sheep that is out in
the cod.
My poor little sheep that has lost it,
fold,
Out in the storm and the dark. maybe,
While little Bo-Peep, with her head
of gold,
Sits and solemnly sings to me!

Children and Sweethearts.

l often wonder if mothers of little
daughters appreciate what they are
doing when they jest with them about
their little sweethearts" and "beaux, >
asks a writer in Harper's Bazaar.
There is so much of this kind OF talk
that the clear-eyed listener sickens in
the hearing. While boys and girls
are young they should be comrades s,
playmates, friends: but the posi- bility
of teuderer relation existing should
never for moment enter the heads OF
the innocent children. When Mabel S
mother speaks OF 12-year-old Jack as
her "besu," and the little girl flush es
with self-consciousness or with anger,
the irreparable wrong has been done.
She Will never again regard jack as
the jolly boy who was great fun
The bloom has already begun to come
off the peach. The longer boys and
girls are kept in ign. rance of the fact
that they can be anything but dear
friends the happier they will be. They
can not help knowing that grown men
and women love and are given in
marriage, but the "grown-up" period
seems very far off to them, and those
who love them should keep them chill
dren as long as possible. They can be
children but once.
