MUSIC AND
THE DRAMA
The Symphony orehestra


After a season of small audiences II
must have been pleasant surprise for
the members of the Symphony orches-
ira to see the Mason opera house well
filled yesterday afternoon, when the
last of what has proved to he re-
markable series of concerts was given
with finish and in an authoritative
spirit that won delighted recognition.
The last concert seemed the best to
those who have enjoyed the seven
which preceded It, and certainly its
program was one to be remembered
with the hope that the means of pre-
senting more programs next autumn
may be obtained without much anxious
waiting and without frequent appeals
for well deserved support from the
Los Angeles public.
Beethovens fifth symphony in @
minor was the opening number of the
farewell program and It was beauti-
fully played, for Harley Hamilton gave
a scholarly reading of the score. He
had his fifty-six men under splendid
control and the second movement was
particularly well Interpreted. There
was a genuine expression of appre-
citation at the close of the symphony.
Director and orchestra were applauded
with the persistence which bespoke
well established friendship between the
symphony organization and the public.
The first public performance of two
lyric pieces by NJ f. Mason was one
20 h. ,,f fho a
first, "Good Friday" a composition of
much individuality, was received with
long continued applause. Quite in con-
trast with it was the allegro number,
which was played with a delicacy and
discrimination that insured its ap-
proval. Schubert's ballet music from
Rosa amunde" and Marschner's over
ture to Hans Heiling" were the other
orchestral selections and these COM
pleted a program in every way satis-
factory.
The soloist of the day, Johann Haze
Zinck, the Danish tenor. achieved
triumph all his own. His two Danish
songs, which were exquisitely set,
brought him spontaneous demon
stration, for the ballads went straight
to the heart. Mr.. Haae-Zinck's mag
nificent voice has great sweetness Of
tone; it is smooth and flexible. AL
though his method restricts the carry
ing power and reduces the resonance
of what is a beautiful lyric tenor. this
Danish artist is singer of unusual
talent. AS an encore he sang with
much tenderness For You, Dear
Heart" and after several recalls he
repeated the song.
Taken as a whole the eighth concert
of the eighth season placed the Los
Angeles Symphony orchestra on
plane far above that reached by most
similar organizations and emphasized
the fact that it is one of the most sig
nificant factors in the progressive life
of Los Angeles.

LET WELL ENOUGH ALoNE"

The present population OF Los Angeles according TO
the report of the school census marshal, is 2O249
Those figures, be it remembered, are not based
merely on an assumed ratio Of population to school
children, is usually the in such estimates The
marshas assistants were instructed this year
to enumerate all the inhabitants of the city, big and
little, young and old. The result, consequently Is as
accurate count Of the total population is possible
to obtain.
But it almost takes the breath away" to take
comparative view the figures thus presented In any
other city of the world such stupendous growth as those
figures Indicate would not be credited for moment.
Even close observers here Los Angeles surprised
that the 200 900 mark has been passed. that figure
exceeds all previous estimates.
In the single school year just ended the citys
population has increased 9172O the percentage OF gain
in that time being 1916. Only two California cities
had populations when the last federal was taken
exceeding the gain in Los Angeles in the last twelve
ponths.
What is the lesson taught by this phenomenal
embodied the Republican slogan in the presidential
campaign of last year, let well enough alone? The
height of human folly is typifed in the idea about
painting the lily" and gliding fine gold" Just such
folly suggested in movements for the beerment OF
Los Angels osensiby introduced in imported theories
and vagaries.
Los Angeles has no ailments that need the applica-
on of nostrums nor the services of specialists in
theories The late Republican motto seemed to suit the
people of the United States and it suits the people
of Los Angeles in respect to their city-"Let well
enough alone"

Miss OIcott's Concert

Miss Ethel Lucretia Olcott last even-
ing entertained an audience at Dobin-
son auditorium by a program of guitar
solos. Miss Olcott has a most attrac-
tive stage presence and she made
charming picture as she played her
chosen instrument 1t was rather a
hazardous experiment to present guitar
numbers without any accompaniment,
but Miss Olcott has a good technique,
and she produces full, resonant tone.
Even the pianissmo passages were
distinct and true. The program in
cluded a number of compositions
adapted to the guitar by the soloist,
and these covered a wide range of
music. There was much applause, the
audience demanding several encores.
Miss Olcott was assisted by the Dob
inson students, who appeared in "A
Southern Story" and a scene from
Dickens.

TAPPING WATER MAINS
Report of Council Committee Refer.
ring to Charges

LOS ANGELES, May 5.-(Editor
Herald): In today's Herald appears a
report of a committee of the council
referring to charges for tapping water
mains.
This committee argues that because
private corporations make these con-
nections without charge to consumers
therefore the city should make no
charge. Why" says the report
should the property owners be re-
quired to pay tax that public utility
| corporations. from whom the people
expect no favors, do not exact?"
Does this committee really believe,
in it's heart, that private corporations
owning public utilities do anything
for the people for nothing?
Pshaw! Mr.. Editor, anybody can see
that private corporations charge such
excessive rates per month that they
can we'll afford to make the connec-
tions free of charge,
If the city makes free connections it
must do the same and then the prop
erty owners who have paid for tapping
the main and bringing pipe to inside
of curb will have to go on paying for
1t over agains
EVERY contractor and builder has
signed the petition" And why wouldn't
they? They are spectators that are
buying lots and building houses so as
to make profit upon both house and lot
They want the city's fee to go into
their pockets. What care they though
every property owner i'm Los Angeles
should pay an advanced rate in conse-
quence?
The city may possibly be able to re-
duce the charge somewhat, especially
upon the larger sizes. But when we
consider the labor to be performed and
the material to be digging
drilling. tapping, a faucet and length
OF pipe supplied there is not much to
kick at. j. A. BROWNING.

THE MAYOR AS AN oBsTRUCTloNIsT

The policy Of city railway obstruction pursued by the
mayor is violently Jared by the protest of business
submitted to the city council That protest again
brings up the question which The Herald has discussed
recently, Who the people?"
In justification of his attitude of hostility toward
the local railway companies the mayor has claimed
that he is acting in the interest of he people, and in
direct consonance with their wishes He proposes to
force the several railway companies to introduce sys-
TEN of interchangeable transfers, covering all lines
within the citys forysix miles of territory because
"the people" demand such a system He declares that
the nterurban lines shall not bring the farmers produce
to the city markets because he people object to such
service
If there is any class Of fully qualified than
another class speak representatives of the people
Angeles surely that class comprises the business
menthe who represent every feature of the citys
busy activities When that class of men speak in prac-
ticaly unanimous voice the message may be accepted
populi.
About 80 per cent of the business of Los An
geles nearly 1000 individuals firms, have made
earnest appeal to the city council to curb the in
his strange and pernicious warfare against the
panes operating the cy's transit service. In that
protest the business accord exactly with the views
expressed by The Herald concerning the vital import
of harmony in the relations between the municipal
government and the railway managers.
AS truly stated by the business men in their petit
tion, I'VE believe have the best city and suburban
and interurban railway system in the United States
and that present prosperous and rapidly growing
condition is due to this fact"
In view of this gratifying condition the business
declare, I'VE believe that any unfair and hostile atti-
tude toward the railroad companies would injure the
best interests of the city, and request that present
conditions remain undisturbed."
Viewing this grave question in the light of the citys
best interests, the business the council to
down the two propositions before noted which the
mayor is attempting to have enacted part of his
policy of antagonsm against the railway companies.
1t is for the council determine whether follow
the errac guidance of the mayor harken to the
earnest appeal, with its implied warning, from the
whole business element of the community.

Los ANGELES, May 5.-(Editor
of the HERALD: Now that another

to give more light in the mid

little effect In daytime. Some boards.
