DR.. Mason as one OF the most i'm

public business in this state at present
which more urgently demands the at
tention of Governor Pardee than the
filing of these judgeships. Apparently

the candidates, and the best interests Of
this county demand immediate action
in the premises"
Attorney Earl Rogers. the well known
criminal lawyer, when seen at his home
last night said:
"I hope Governor Pardee will make
his appointments as soon as he can
with consistency. Delay in litigation
nowadays practically amounts to a de-

Great Concert in Store

Every musical community of suffi-
cent size sees a performance of the
leading oratorios every few years. Los
Angeles has not heard "The Creation"
for five or six years, and now that it
is offered by the Apollo club music
lovers will have an opportunity to re-
fresh their memories as to it's many
beauties.
This oratoro was written in 1893 in
the midst of the golden period of
music, in the middle of that century
that saw the greatest compositions of
the classic and romantic periods-1750-
1850 1t came nearly sixty years after
THE Messiah" and breathes different
musical spirit, being half way between
the extreme fugal stage of the Mes
siah" and the romantic works of more
recent times that have called in help
from the dramatic forms of compost
ton.
Next Monday evening the Apollo
club win present THE Creation" with
the following combination of forces:
IHIee HunuTeu anu nlly oiuBSio1 olAly
in orchestra and fifty in the Ellery
band, which will assist in two of the
greater choruses. The body of tone
produced by this combination of mu-
sicians will be of massive effect. The
chorus has been in course of prepara-
tion for this event for the last six
months and it is hoped to give the
work with exactness and certainty.
Soloists for this occasion are as fol-
lows: Maude Reese Davies. soprano;
Spencer Robinson, tenor; Homer He'll
ley, bass. The Apollo club is doing
good work in interesting the public in
high grade of music, and 1t hopes TO
leave such an impression by this con-
cert that the auditors will think more
of classic music.

"A Prisoner of War"

The horrors of war were brought
vividly home to two audiences at the
Burbank theater yesterday when the
real conditions that prevailed i'm Port
Arthur during the recent siege were
made public for the first time in a
melodrama by Theodore Kremer,
called "A Prisoner of War" Just how
terrible these conditions were cannot
be described, as they are presented on
the stage.
The hero and heroine are Japanese
and their prosecutions are enough to
turn the most ardent admirer OF the
Russians pro-Japanese. The stage set
tings were excellent and so convincing
We're the actors that the young women
