Musical Notes

DROFESSOR Julius Albert jain, di-
rector of the Los Angeles Choral
associati ton, announces that the
work of the Forthcoming production of
"The Messiah" to be given at the Ma
son opera house during the holidays, is
progressing with great satisfaction. A
thoroughly and evenly balanced chorus
most of whom have sung in the work
before, supported by the Los Angeles
Symphony Orchestra, and competent
soloists-will undoubtedly secure excel
lent results.
RehearSals of the Los Angeles Sym
phony Orchestra concerts are now in
progress and Director Hamilton is fully
satisfied with the progression of his
players. The soloist selected for the
first concert is Mr.. Frank V. Pollock,
a tenor. The first symphony concert is
cn Friday afternoon, December s.
Harry Balnhardt, director of the
Apollo Club, reports that his association
of 200 members have practically COM
pleted the advance work for The Mes
siah." The various members are up in
their parts and perfect in all detail
work. Supported by an excellent or
chestra of trained musicians and as
sisted by a quartette of eastern solo
lists the production of 1.-The Messiah"
to be given by the Apollo Club this sea-
son will undoubtedly be a good one.
On "Wednesday evening, December
13, at Blanchard Hall, the first of the
four historical concerts to be given by
the Beethoven trio will take place.
The trio consists of Miss johnson, pian-
list, alternating Miss Orcutt, Carl Musk

violinist, whose name throughout
America stands for that of a finished
musician. He comes December Is as a
number of the supplemented Philhar-
monte course, and will be heard In two
concerts in this city.
Ellery, at Venice, is making musi-
cal success with his excellent basso.
and the Venetian Palm Garden, when
it becomes better known, will prove a
popular resort. The band has grown
in every way since it played here at
the Chutes, and is as it demonstrated
at it's Los Angeles concert last night,
at home in the highest class music.
Donatelli and his band, down at
Long Beach, are making big hit,
duplicating their success at the Chutes
which seems an incubator for popu-
larizing strange Italian bands, by the
way.
The coming of r. f. Outcault. de-
lineator of "Buster Brown" in two of

lions.

American Singers in Europe

The Theater Magazine for November
contains an interesting article by
Mildred Aldrich who tells Of the Amer
lean girls who have achieved fame as
singers in foreign capitals.
Two things constantly amaze the Eu-
ropean teachers-the beauty of the fe-
male voice among Americans and the
inability of the average American, no
matter how gifted. to work seriously
American students think much more
about the material benefits of success
than about the art itself, even when
they are studying, and perhaps this Is
a logical result of American life and
its scale of values.
1t is not 10 be wondered at that in
a country where the great prizes may
belong to great effort, singers should

Serious Drama Defended

Henry Arthur Jones, who arrived in
New York recently on short visit to
the United States. gave an interview
to the Dramatic Mirror on the condi-
ton of the drama in England. Mr.
Jones is one of England's strongest
defenders of the serious drama and
has kept up long fight for the better
ment of the stage.
"The most striking thing in the Eng
lish drama today" said Mr.. Jones, rs
the absence of serious plays. l am
speaking only of England, of course,
for | have been i'm the United States
too short time to judge Of conditions
here During the last ten years there
has been u steady diminishing in the
number Of serious plays and this in
cudes comedies, and u diminishing and
precarious success of those produced.
At the same time we have had a con-
tinued and increasing success of a form
of entertainment which has scarcely
any relation to the drama, inasmuch
as it has no story to unfold and no
portraiture of character to display.
"The playgoer in England asks Moth
ing more than to be amused he seems
to be satisfied now with tomfoolery and
nonsense rather than with the por-
trayal of life. Certainly he should not
be asked to pay for being bored and
if that Is the effect upon him of a seri-
Gus play the important question of why
he should be bored by such play is
raised. The nature of the serious plays

play For a number of years past the
parrot phrase problem play has been
applied to almost every play that at
tempts to paint sincerely any great
passion or reality of human life. Many
foolish doctrinaire playwrights who at
tempted to initiate Ibsen, but who
lacked the strength, gave cause for a
stream of contempt that was poured
upon these absurdities, and almost
swamped all sincere and serious play
writing In England.
"There have been, it is true. some
notably successful revivals of Shakes
peare in recent years, but they have
succeeded more on account of magnifi-
cent scenic investiture than because the
public wished to hear Shakespeare,

them has made a really surprising

tion, will not, in later years, be able to
explain just chow it did not happen"
claiming that, even after an American
girl has wasted time, youth and money
acquiring the necessary European
hall mark" the engaging. like kiss

a singers appreciation of a fellow
singers art is rarely the public's, they
will support this statement by listing

lean set who have had decent careers
in Europe and never been able to sen

Orleans, while every continental city

no less than ten outside its two and

Bernhardt has now three-months'

tunities for a debut are, consequently,
easily a hundred to one in favor of

Mona GIendower, Burbank
Irving and SfanLawS

To a certain young American dra-
matist-who is known to fame, how
ever, for work of quite another kind
Sir Henry Irving's recent death must
have meant a severe disappointment.
This is Penrhyn Stanlaws, inventor of
the famous girl who was second only to
the Gibson damsel in popular favor at
home few years ago. Like most peo-
pie who have made big success of one
thing, this young artists most cher
ished ambition is concerned with some
thing quite different, and in his case
it is play writing.
A year or two ago Mr.. Stanlaws, who
spends large part of his time in Lon
don wrote his first stage piece of any
Importance little tragedy in one act,
and thinking he might as well aim
high at the outset sent it to Sir Henry
Irving. Not long afterward he was de-
lighted beyond measure by receiving
a letter from the actor accepting
the play and undertaking to produce it
as soon as the opportunity came.
But with actors, great as we'll as
small, that is an elastic term. Irving
proved no exception to the rule. No
doubt he fully expected to appear in
the Stanlaws piece at some time or
other-perhaps during his projected
farewell tour in America-but the fact
remains that he died without produce
ing it, and so Mr.. Stanlaws loses the
inestimable advantage that such a pro-
ductlon would have been to him in his
effort to gain recognition as a play
wright. At last accounts the inventor
of the Stanlaws girl was working on
four-act play of which he had great
hopes, but which he did not intend to
offer to any manager until after Sir
Henry Irving had produced his curtain
raiser.

Talk With Maude Adams

Miss Maude Adams has another en-
phatic dramatic success to her credit
in Barrie's comedy of Peter Pan"
Her acting of it has brought holiday
crowd and a Christmas spirit to New
York weeks before time. Just how Miss
Adams came by the play was told by
her to New York Herald reporter as
follows:
"One afternoon last year." said Miss
Adams. while l was playing The Lit
tie Minister and "Op o. Me Thumb at
the Empire theater Mr.. Frohman
called to have a talk about plans for
my coming season. He told me he had
AS You Like It in mind for me, also
another Shakespearean play and one of
the old comedies. He said he would
on the following afternoon show me
some of the scenes in the ShakeSpear-
can play and would then decide upon
the work in which / would appear.
Meanwhile he gave me the manuscript
of Peter Pan to read, because it was
a play by Mr.. Barrie.
Il read the play after going home
and was so completely won by the
character of dear Peter and so thor
oughly interested and thrilled by his
numerous adventures that 1 fell in
love with him at once. In the evening
when l saw Mr.. Frohman at the the
ater | said: The Shakespearan plays
and the old comedy that we spoke of
are all right, but | would like to play
Peter Pam" That is how 1 come to
be acting in another Barrie play this
season, but that is not all of the
story.
THE season before last, when I was
in London, Mr.. Barrie said to me one
day;
a character which is in my mind
] propose to make a play of and that
character has come to my mind
through you
II thought no more of the remark
until / was reading Peter Pan the
afternoon ! have already spoken of,
when 1t came back to me, and | seemed
at once to feel and understand its
meaning. For while I read Peter Pan
and was fully conscious of all the fine
plays in which | had previously ap-
peared and of all the fine plays that
had been produced for me, it seemed
that nothing l had ever read before,
nothing | had ever imagined and no
play in which l had ever appeared had
appealed to me so strongly or inspired
me with such full and direct happiness
and with such anxiety to appear in it.
Every line of it thrilled me and as
passed from scene to scene an affection
for dear Peter grew and took hold of
Inc until / was perfectly wrapped in a
spell of desire to be Peter Pan himself
For moment / must acknowledge
that | was disloyal to dear Lady Bab-
bic and to the well beloved L'Aiglon.'
"Mr. Frohman, l believe, said moth
ing to Mr. Barrie about my anxiety to
play Peter until he met him last
spring in London. After the meeting
he sent me word that Mr.. Barrie, in
reply to his statement had said:
Whether or not Miss Adams was to
play Peter Pan / did not know. but
am going to send her word that it was
she who inspired the writing of the
play
And so what was in my mind with
regard to the play the part and myself
was really true"

The TeIephone's Future

The bigness of the telephone inter-
ests, present and prospective, of this
country Is certainly best understood by
the engineers. These men OF figures
and forecasts, whose everyday speech
abounds in references to loads, insula-
uons and relays, have, as is we'll
known, magnificent ideas as to the flu
ture of the industry they are building
up. Already they are basing their esti-
mates of necessary construction upon
a probable 20 per cent development
within the next two or three decades
a prediction which means, in everyday
speech, that by 1880 or 1885 there should
be, if the present rate of expansion
continues, one telephone for every five
people in the United States, or, as 1t
has been otherwise expressed, a tele-
phone to every other family and as
many more in places of business.-At-
