MUSIC AND
THE DRAMA
Miss HEARTS Recital

Miss Estelle Catherine HEARTS well
coming home concert last evening in
Dobinson auditorium showed how great
is the popularity of the young con-
tralto, who has recently returned to
Los Angeles after months of study in
New York. A large audience greeted
the singer. 1t was an audience COM
posed of society folk and musicians.
who listened with more than ordinary
interest to the numbers which gave
Miss Heartt opportunity to show what
eastern training has done for her voice.
The program began with three Grieg
numbers, which were a slight disap-
complete self possession, however, and
the three ballads which followed were
charmingly sung. One of these, Fred
erick Stevenson's Robin" was lyrical
gem. This ballad and the "Sehn-
sucht" reverie for the violin, played
by Miss Maria Thresher, brought out
enthusiastic demonstrations, in which
the composer, who was in the audience,
shared the honors.
Miss Heartt was generous in her Sc
lection of songs on the program, and
they were well suited for the exhibit
tion of her technical attainment. She
has natural voice of beautiful quail
ity. The lower notes are full, rich and
organlike in tone. There is something
to be desired in the upper and middle
Tao at tuh
harsh and forced, but the method of
training and not the voice is to be
criticised. Such a big voice as that
which Miss Heartt possesses requires
years of patient work before it's splen-
did possibilities can be realized, and
young contralto may attain to great
things. Miss Heartt has a fascinating
stage presence, broad intelligence and
fine artistic feeling. She sang delight
fully and won the hearts of all who
heard her. She was overwhelmed with
flowers. After the Folk Song" and
"Mammy's Lii Baby" she was recalled
several times.
Miss Maria Thresher's violin solos
added much to the program. Miss
Thresher played the familiar Vieux-
temps "Polonaise" and the Stevenson
number with great success. Mrs.
Blanche Williams Robinson, the ac-
companist, contributed a large share
of the evenings enjoyment. The play
ing for the vocal and the violin num-
bers showed her to be pianist of ex-
qulsite touch and delicate sympathy.

Says
AYERS SPOUSE is GAMBLER

HE called my dear little baby
id thing and told me he never
wanted to see It again." sobbed Mrs
ella Thrush yesterday afternoon IN
Judge Conreys court, as she took the
stand in her own behalf and stated the
grounds upon which she was suing her
husband for divorce.
The husband, DeForest Thrush, did
not appear, and the divorce and GUS
tody of the child were granted to the
wife.
According to the testimony Of the
young wife her life with her husband
had been an exciting one. The couple
were married in San Francisco in 1900
and shortly afterward the excitement
began. Mrs. Thrush testified as fol-
lows:
Shortly after our marriage my hus-
band showed tendency to shirk work,
and then he quit altogether. 1 had
saved little money of my own, which
1 have kept locked up in a trunk in
my room. One day 1 left my home to
visit the home of my sister and when
returned my husband was absent, the
trunk was broken open and the money
gone. He came home a short time later
and confided to me that he had
gambled with my money and had lost.
Says He GambIed
"He spent nearly all his time at a
gambling house, and at last 1 got tired
of his conduct and one night decided to
see what he was doing. followed him
to the place and watched him.
"On another occasion when I had
been away from home on a neighborly
visit / returned to find that he had
pawned my jewels and gambled the
money. The crowning climax Of his
actions occurred just before he de-
serted me. So passionate was his fond
ness for gambling that he took the bed
clothes off the bed, carried them to a
secondhand store and sold them. He
then gambled the money and I was
compelled to sleep without any COW
ering.
"He finally told me that he did not
intend to see me any more and did not
wish to see the baby. and then he de-
sented me.

Woman'S Clubs
. Friday Morninn Club

Mr.. Paul England's song recital at
the Friday Morning club yesterday
was one of the memorable events of
Il brilliant season in the clubs history.
Mr.. England presented an exacting
program comprising the sixteen songs
of the Schumann cycle, "Dichterllebe,"
and five other numbers. 1t was haz-
ardous experiment for a singer to offer
the German lyrics to an audience not
professedly musical, but by the magic
of his art Mr.. England interpreted the
songs with such dramatic effect that
his hearers felt all the varying moods
expressed by Heine in 1.-THE Poets
Love-"
Mr.. England has a baritone voice
Of unusual quality. 1t is exquisite in
the smoothness If it's tone; it has great
resonance and splendid range. 1t
is a voice wonderfully we'll placed.
With his extraordinary technique this
English artist could do great things
with less vocal endowment, but his is
a manysided gift, for he combines all
the qualities necessary for success on
the lyric stage. His triumph yester-
day was due largely to his dramatic
powers. All the shadings of poetic
sentiment were conveyed with mar
velous delicacy. The transitions from
song to song were admirable in their
variations of color. Mr.. England,
who Is famous as a translator of
Heine, gave a literary as well as a
musical Interpretation and at the close
of the cycle he was greeted with en-
thusiastic applause. After he had been
recalled several times he sang as an
encore a little French song.
The other numbers on the program
were the serenade from Don Giov-
anni," "Come Away Death" &C. Will
son), "My STAR &C. Salaman), and a
roundelay &C. A. Lidgey). All these
were beautifully sung. Miss May
B. Orcott, who played the accompani-
nents, showed rare taste and proved
herself a pianist of ability.
Speculations which have been rife
in the club for several weeks, con-
cerning the nominees for office, ceased
yesterday when it was made known
that Mrs. z. K. Foster and Mrs. Roy
Jones had received the nominating
ballot for president. There u.s. how
ever, long road to travel before one
of the two women steps into Office and
which it will be cannot be more than
guessed until June. 1t is possible
that Mrs Jones may withdraw her
name unless her friends prevail upon
her to continue on the ticket. Fol-
lowing is a list of the remainder of
the ticket as 1t was read before the
club
First vice president, Mrs. Frank Glib
son, Mrs. e. X. Foster, Mrs. Harriet
Wadleigh, Miss Jennie Collier; second
vice president, Mrs. Frank Gibson, Miss
Collier; secretary, Mrs. Barthold Ba-
ruch and Mrs. Belle Widner; treasurer,

Large Plant Erected
The patents were bought, the COM
pany started in good shape and a
$4,000 plant building erected on Mo-
limo street. Seventy thousand dollars
were required to put in the plant, and
then the trouble commenced. The de-
PENDANTS in the present case had the
majority of stock, and when the ex-
penses became heavy the wishes of
the plaintiffs were not consulted and
a heavy assessment was levied on the
stock, 1t is alleged.
The plaintiffs allege that they paid
the first assessment, but refused to pay
a second and heavier one levied in
March. Their stock was declared de-
linquent and was to have been sold
yesterday.

case was hurried into court and a re-
straining order issued late yesterday
