IN next Tuesday evening Madame
Emma Eames, the greatest of all
~ American sopranos, will appear
in concert at Simpson auditorium for
one night only. Madame Eames will be
supported by an excellent concert COM
pany, one of the best yet heard in this
city. Although a frequent visitor to
the Pacific coast, Madame Eames has
never sung in Los Angeles. owing to the
fact that when she was here with the
Grau opera company both years the
opera selected was not one in which
she appeared to an advantage.
Conscientious devotion to her art,
coupled with the remarkable vocal gifts
and unimpeachable musical intuition
united with great personal beauty,
have raised this famous American to
the high rank she now occupies among
the great prima donnas Of the present
time. After this short concert tour
Madame Eames will appear in grand
opera at the Metropolitan grand op-
era house in New York, under the man
agement of Heinrich Conried.
Madame Eames stands before the
American public knowing that she IS
considered the greatest La TosCa of
modern times, and her successes in
aida" have given her place among
modern singers second to none. Her
success has been immediate and over
whelming and press and public are
unanimous in proclaiming her many
trlumphs.
Associated with her on this tour is
found a concert company composed of
a trio of the masters in music. The
young Spanish baritone, Emilio de Co
gorza, heading the list, is considered
one Of the greatest artists on the
American stage. Mr.. Joseph Holman,
the 'celHst, is acknowledged to be one
of the greatest masters of the cello In
the world. BY birth a Hollander, he
made his principal studies at the Brus-
sells conserVatoire, but has since con-
tinued with jacquard, DaVidoff and
Savard. His playing Is distinguished
by remarkable power and beauty of
tone, and it is said that no less an au-
thority than List observed that when
Holman played his whole soul was in
the bow"
The pianist and accompanist Is Mr..
Amherst Webber, the English compos-
er-pianist, who is already celebrated for
his symphony composition and as the
writer of a very successful opera. Mr..
Webber has written many beautiful
songs and is considered the premier
accompanist of Oxford England,
1t is to be regretted that Madame
Eames appears in one concert only
The program is as follows:
