said they sing as well to half a
house as to standing room only" If put

utmost to please the well-known five" Of
Macready.
"Olivette" does not seem to have found
favor with the public: 1t is tuneful, too,
and merry; has four good characters,
some fine choruses, picturesque scenery,
graceful dancing, rather pretty costumes
and many laughter provoking incident.
There is nothing to prevent its being
kindly accepted but the dialogue, and
surely that with its business is length
ened beyond the limit of patience. The
second act is practically nothing else-a
solo or two, a duet and a beautiful one,
a quintet and then dialogue and horse
play until the sight of the entering chorus
IS hailed with delight, because we know
it signals the fall Of the curtain. Why
would it not be a happy idea to let dis
appearing chorus occasionally indicate a
curtain fall? The thought is suggested
by the grouping in the first act, where
the chorus turns its back upon the audi
ence and looks out to sea. 1t IS very
excellent and effective piece of stage
mana cement.
The dominating figure in the opera IS
poor, woebegone Coquielicot. Humor Of
the broad sort has set its hall mark upon
Mr. Wolf, and when kept out of military
trappings he easily stands well to the
front as a fun maker. He maintains the
character rigidly, even in the matter OF
encore, for these he accepts with a bow
and smile of true henChman stupidity.

mac in a good, honest way, with never

of good range. There are hours when
Mr.. Persse bears down all prejudice
against his poor method by his cOnvinc-
ing performance, and as Valentine he has
sounded one of those hours. Miss Ma
sons Olivette is charming. Her crying
song was as clever dramatically as musi-
cally and he who finds flaws in her voice
distinct enough for criticism must be in
a microscopic bad humOr. Miss RiCci
walks out of her character straight to
the front of the stage and sings her first
singer There is no sense in this and no
reason for it, so why is it permitted? She
never seems to identify herself with her
part and as a result loses all sympathy.
Act III makes good the assurance that
"the last shall be first for 1t far out
strips the other two in effect, scenic and
musical. If it were not for the fact that
people disappear aboard ship behind
piece Of waving sky the illusion would be
complete. The dancing and ensemble
work call for willing approval and were
greeted with ready applause. Next week
we are to hear Faust" in English, and
the management promises an elaborate

In answering a recent editorial in the
San Francisco Call. the Los Angeles
Times says that the followers Of Aguin-
aldo for months have been in open riot
and insurrection against the authority of
the United States, and that they are being
punished therefor. The Los Angeles
Times, whose editor is Brigadier General
Harrison Gray Otis, continues:
assured will be continued so long as there
is Filipino native in open rebellion against
the American flag, and so long as they con-
tinue to kill the sons of American mothers

THE FREE HARBoR CONTEST.

y Y all odds the most important event in the
X history of Los Angeles is the long struggle for
l. the construction of harbor at San Pedro,
ending, as it did, in victory which assures to that
city port of entry which virtually makes Los An
gecs seaport, and one of the foremost on the Pa
cifc Coast
The contest against the powerful opposition OF the
Southern Pacific Company attracted the attention
and enlisted the sympathies Of all Californians Its
course and character are, therefore, familiar enough
at present, and not likely be forgotten by this
generation For the purpose of preserving the story
so that may be fully understood by those who are

good road and an automobile hitched TO
