THE SYMPHONY CONCERT

The fourth concert OF the Los An
geles symphony orchestra will take
place at the Mason opera house next
Friday afternoon. at which time Di-
rector Hamilton and his players will
present an excellent program, consist
ing OF Mozart's overture, THE Magic
Flute" Raff's celebrated I'm Waldo
symphony Svendsen's Norwegian
Carnival" and the finale from "Parsi-
fall"
The soloist Is Miss Corinne Bailey,
who Is considered New Orleans great
est dramatic soprano. Although Miss
Bailey has been heard but very little
in Los Angeles since her arrival, she
has made many friends. Her selection
with the symphony orchestra is Ha-
dyn's with Verdure clad" from the
oratoro "The Creation"
The Symphony orchestra now num-
bers sixty men and they are improv-
ing each season in their work The
fourth concert finishes the first half
of the seasons work. 1t is to be hoped
that many will take advantage of this
concert to obtain a ticket for the re-
mainder of the season. which, If pur-
chased now, will entitle the holder to
the last half of the course with the
fourth concert free. Only $1,000 is need
ed to finish the Symphony season and
those who are interested in the musi-
cal work of the city should take ad-
vantage of this fact and join the Sym
phony subscribers at once.
The program for February 10 follows:
Overture, III Flauto Magico,' Mozart
"Im Waldo" symphony Raft with
Verdure Clad" from THE Creation"
Haydn: Norwegian Carnival" Svend-
sen; Finale from "Parsifal," Wagner.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-02-05

that occasion Gomez's overture. I'll
Guarany," La Tosca," the Dance
Macabre," Handers Largo" and LA
Boheme" will be the leading features.
Next Friday night the concert will
certainly be in the nature of a sensa-
ton for the music lovers of Los An
geles, as on that occasion will be pre-
sented almost the entire opera of Ca
valleria Rusticana." Never in this city
has such a feat been attempted by
band as the presentation of an Ell
tire opera in this form. The perform
ance will enlist solo work by Messrs.
DeMitris. Palma, DiNatale, Plantamu-
ra and Riso, and a full description of
the opera will be printed in the pro-
grams for that evening. The sale of re-
served seats for these week night per-
formances will be open at o'clock on
Monday morning.

that Mr.. Ellery is giving three times
a week at the Chutes theater seems
likely to result in the decision that the
great band shall not return next year.
So great is the desire for the presence
of Ferrulo and the Ellery musicians in
Milwaukee that not only is a company
being formed for the construction of
music hall there, but one of the fore
most theatrical managers of that city
is said to be enroute to the Pacific
coast to offer Mr.. Ellery winter en-
gagement of six months for his band.
The band is to remain in Los Angeles
only few weeks longer and people
should profit by the opportunities
offered them this month and part of
March for hearing the wonderful music.
The program this afternoon contains
the "Mignon" overture, "Mefistofele,' -
III Trovatore" and the American Fan
TASTE" while that in the evening pre-
sents Poet and Peasant" Verdi's
"Rigoletto, Chopins Funeral March, -

The fourth exercise takes you back to

MADAME MELRA's CONCERT

Madame Melba will come to this city
for a concert at Temple auditorium on
the evening of Tuesday, February IA.
1t will be difficult to name singer
whose coming appearance will be more
pleasantly looked forward to than that
of this great prima donna. Since
Madame Melba sang in Los Angeles
her time has been wholly occupied by
her professional engagements, which
have not only extended through the
principal cities of Europe and the east
ern section of this country, but have
included as well an extended visit to
Los Angeles herald., 1905-02-05

Australia and New Zealand, where
Madame Melba renewed the acquaint-
ances of her childhood. Madame Mel
ba returned to America early in No
vember and her concert tour of the
present season, which, by the way, is
to be the longest ever MAGE by her in
this country, has thus far proved an
uninterrupted series of artistic
triumphs. Manager Ellis has sur
rounded Madame Melba with an excel
lent company of artists and the pro-
grams presented by the organization
have gained particular favor with COM
petent critics The sale of seats for
the concert is now taking place at

Entire Opera Next Friday

URING the week Of February 1S
one of the most enjoyable musical
- organizations will visit Los An
geles and neighboring cities. Arnold
Dolmetsch and his company will pre-
sent the music Of olden times, played
upon the instruments for which it was
originally written. The Dolmetsch lee
lures are famous in Europe. for they
are unique, interesting and instructive
from every point Of view. Dolmetsch
stands alone as the only exponent OIL
the archaic instrument, and, with his
assistants, renders music on the in
struments for which Il was originally
written. The concerts. as well as ex-
planatory remarks which accompany
each should not be missed by mu-
sicians or students. Dolmetsch Is ac-
companied by Mrs. Dolmetsch and Miss
Kathleen Salmon, one Of the best
known vocalists now before the public.
Those who are interested in the music
of the Shakespearean era and the Eliz-
abethan period should take advantage
of this series of entertainments. A por-
gram follows:

ginals, viola, clavicene, viola da GAMBIA,

or when you are ready for bed at night,
or little of both.
At the start, five minutes at time
is enough for the average woman.
There are some who should not work
that long, and some who may work
little longer from the first. But it is
not as easy as it looks, and most
women will find ten minutes divided
between morning and evening enough.
Here is AN exercise that looks the
| simplest of all, yet it is one of the
hardest If you are rushed for time
it is good one to do, for single trial
of 1t is enough for once.
Pull the mattress off your bed-and
you viii have cause to return thanks
if your bed is a single one or a cot.
Then stretch out at full length, your
hands down straight at your sides.
Lift both feet up in the air, the legs
as nearly as possible at right angles
with the trunk. Then slowly, very
slowly lower them, keeping them to-
gether and dropping them so slowly
you can scarcely see them move. BY
the time they are half way down they
will seem to be made of lead, and from
there on the weight win increase in an
inverse ratio to the speed until they

you will be surprised to find how long
you can hold your breath. only per-
son whose breathing is under perfect
control can breathe and do this exer-
else.
A second exercise which is good for
hips too large and hips too small is to
get down ON all fours and run with
your hind legs, while keeping still
with your fore legs. These fore legs
must be straight under you, like the
legs of table, fingers together and
pointing forward. To begin draw the
left leg forward until the upper part
from thigh TO knee is vertical, leaving
the right leg out at fun length, resting

y ON ~ Oli lllC llOOl tillu-leiu6lls
The gymnasium teacher was
sure he would be obeyed to the
letter. To begin with, he was talking
to a lot of young women just freed
from office and schooroom and store,
for it was an afternoon class in a wo-
mems gym" well downtown.
To quit work makes one feel years
younger. To put on gym" suit and
get down on the floor makes you feel
like roypoly baby. You are sure to
laugh, and the years roll away, taking
with them all the cares of the world.
If you don't believe it, try it and see.
Arms up straight-no kinks in your
elbows-palms toward each other!" AMI
to follow directions one must quit
laughing and think.
Right leg up-high-straight- t
bend your knees! Left leg up-left leg
find your left leg there!" And down
went several left legs because the
owners of them thought they were the
ones that had made the mistake. Then
everybody laughed and the orders had
to be given over again.
Right leg up! Left leg up! Both legs
up! Touch toes with your hands'
This is the first exercise in mat work,
which is the newest feature of gym
work for women. 1t is good for so
many things it is hard to see how
gymnasiums ever existed without it,
1t is good for tired backs, backs that
ache from handing ovar daslys baclr 9
that ache from the jar of walking,
backs that ache just because they are
backs.
1t is the best abdominal exercise in
the world and makes waists sylphlike
and supple.
II is good for every muscle and nerve
from the back of your neck to the end
of your great toe. for 1t relaxes the ten
sion Of every nerve and puts every
shirking muscle in play. And lying
there on the floor you can raise your
head and bend 1t forward and back and
to each side and around, until in time
it will lose its serawny look, or If you
have a chin or two too many they will
disappear. for 1t is one of those para
doxical rules in physical culture that
the same exercise works both ways.
If you would plump up lean hips. If
you would shave off bulky ones, do
mat work. And as women worry more
about their hips than about any other
part OF them. if this were all its benefits
It would not have been discovered i'm
vain.
The best part of It is that you do not
have to go 10 a gymnasium for your
mat work You can have II in your own
room. which is the very best place, for
the very best time to do 4 is as soon
as you get out Of bed in the morning
