Edwin Breese of Los Angeles the
Victim

Mrs. Edwin Breese of Los Angeles
identified the body Of the man who
committed suicide at Redondo Friday
as that of her former husband.
The identification was made Saturday
night, and the body was buried yes
terday afternoon.
Mrs. Breese went to Redondo in
company with an acquaintance whose
name and address could not be ascer-
tanned. The widow of the dead man
called at the undertakers and asked
to be allowed the see the body. She
gave her name as Mrs. Edwin Breese
and said that she lived in Los Ange-
les. After viewing the body she said
it was that of her "late husband" She
made all arrangements for the burial
of the body and left.
The funeral took place yesterday af-
ternoon at Redondo, Rev. Thomas A.

The reports from the ticket depart

aroused more interest among the the
ater-goers of this city than has any
other trio of plays that has occupied
the stage of the Belasco. Orders for
tickets have been pouring in for the
past week-ever since the announce
ment that "Old Heidelberg was to be
given here. and there is every prospect
that the piece can be given to immense
audiences for two weeks-the same
time that it was produced in San Fran
cisco.
Prospective patrons of the Belasco
company's production of "Old Heidel-
berg" will do well to bear in mind that
the massiveness of the production and
the unusual length of the play makes it
absolutely imperative to begin the per-
formance at o'clock in the evening

Daryman and Two Little Sons Mar
rowIy Escaped Death on
Santa Fe Tracks

The proprietor of the Raab Creamery
company Of South Pasadena and his
two little sons had narrow escape
from death yesterday afternoon at the
junction of Marmion Way and Avenue
Fifty-four.
Mr.. Raab was driving west from
Pasadena avenue and when he reached
the Santa Fe track discovered that the
Limited" was almost upon him. He
pulled in the horse in time to save
himself and the children. but the train
struck the animal, killing It almost in
stantly.
Raab says he had no idea that there
was a train anywhere in the vicinity,
as no signal had been given. 1t is one
of the rules of the company that the
whistle shall be blown when the train
nears the city limits and this it is
claimed the engineer failed to do.
The two boys who were in the wagon
were not hurt, but both were badly
frightened. The cans and bottles filled
with milk were emptied into the street.

RAIN, TRACE; HOPE FOR MORE
Los Angeles Gets Little Moisture
From Heavy Clouds

A trace of rain was all that Los AM
geles got out of the general cloudy con-
dition which prevailed all day and
throughout the early part Of the night
yesterday.
A light drizzle began falling about 10
o'clock in the business portion of the
city. Earlier it was raining in East
Los Angeles. At no point however,
prior to midnight did the precipitation
amount to anything more than a trace.
The weather conditions, with rain
threatened, continued throughout the
night and a heavier fall was expected.
All signs pointed to downpour be-
tween midnight and daylight. A
heavy, low barometer prevailed, the
atmosphere being thick and sticky,
conditions which usually precede a
drenching rainfall.

MUSIC AND
THE DRAMA
FideIla Concert

Fidelia Concert
More than 500 Los Angeles Germans
went to Turner hall last evening to
listen to the initial concert OF the
Fidelia Male chorus The organisa-
tion. containing forty singers, sang to
an audience which overnowed the
benches and crowded the extra floor
space with standing listeners. Henry
schoenefeld. who has become known
as an orchestra leader and composer
since he came to Southern California
last spring. directed the singing and
Mrs. Frank Patterson Of Pasadena,
John Haze zinck and Alexander Styger
were the soloists.
The musicians, selected from the
symphony orchestra, first played the
Fra Diavolo overture, and then the
orchestra and the chorus gave AN die
Kunst," written by Wagner-Wein-
wurm, but orchestrated by Mr.. Schoen-
field. In fact. the musical director of
the evening arranged several pieces on
the program, "An die Kunst," Gieg's
"Landkennung" and six Netherland

Schoenfeld also wrote the music to
which Mrs. Patterson sung the words
of Hene's famous poem, "Thou Art
Like Unto a Flower" Mrs. Patterson
gave later i'm the evening still vie die
Nacht." by Bohm, "Fruhlingszelt." by
Becker, and Strauss's "Wie sollten wir

sesses a clear, sweet soprano voice of
good range.
AS the third number Henry Schoene-
field and Master George Schoenefeld
played on the piano three of Moszkow-
skis Spanish dances. John Haze
Zinck, in whose tenor voice there is
occasionally a high, clear, silvery note
like that of a trumpet, sang the reci-
tative and aria Der Freischutz." :"
Weber Alexander Styger, with a
splendid baritone voice that seemed to
fill the hall entirely, afterward sang
the "Landkennung, with the chorus
accompanying. Six old Netherland
folk songs formed the last and most
interesting part of the program. The
chants have been sung by Dutch fire
sides for almost three centuries, since
William of Nassau drove the Spanish
from the Netherlands. The lament of
the people under oppression the coming
of the deliverer, the passion of war,
the parting and the hymn of victory
are embodied in the six songs, which
have bean arranged by Mr.. Schoene-
field to indicate in order the emotions
aroused by the struggle. Louis Ehren-
field read a synopsis of each song in
German prose before it was sung and
the musicians rendering was then
given by the chorus, Mr.. Zinck and
Mr.. Styger. At the close of the pro-
gram the orchestra played for an in
formal dance.

GIVE FIRST PRESENTATION
OF "0LD HEIDELBERG"
6elasco Company VIII Appear Tonight
in Richard MansfieId's
Version

The stage struck maiden who yearns
for an opportunity to disport herself
behind the row of glittering footlights,
and who fondly but nevertheless err
roneously harbors the idea that the ex-
istence of footlight favorite is a
continuous round of applause and
gaiety, should have witnessed the hard
work the members of the Belasco thea
ter stock company were compelled to
ready for the initial performance of
''Old Heidelberg" which will occur
tonight.
Had she been in the vicinity of the
Belasco stage early this morning
about 8 o'clock-and had she seen the
Belasco players file out from the dark
stage entrance after eighteen hours
spent in the theater, she would mayhap
have altered her wish to go on the
stage and be content to remain at
home with mother and the assurance
of a less exciting and wearisome ex-
stence.
Amelia Gardner, the leading woman
of the Belasco company, got into cab
and ordered the driver to hurry to her
home, as she was simply tired to death,
as she expressed it.
Mr.. Galbraith, the leading man, when
questioned as to whether he thought
Heidelberg" would please Los An
,geles theater goers tonight, said:
please them? 1t will delight them;
nothing like it has ever been given
on a stage in this city. 1 can't say
enough nice things about the perform
ance we are going to give-but me for
the soft and downy couch of the hard
working but popular leading man. I'm
tired to death and hungry, too-you
don't happen to have a ham sandwich
in your pocket do you? Because if you
do I'll trade it for the finest set of press
notices you ever saw"
Truth to tell, it was tired lot of
actors that left the Belasco theater
this morning when good folk were
counting Mr.. Morpheus. But they were
exceedingly happy in the knowledge
that their efforts in "Old Heidelberg"
were most certain to meet with the
hearty approval of the theater patrons
of this city.
When the management of the Belasco
theater determined to put on the Rich
ard Mansfield success of last season,
they were confronted with Herculean
task. In San Francisco, where the Be
lasco & Mayer Alcazar stock company
played "Old Heidelberg for two weeks
to audiences that taxed the house seat
ing capacity to its utmost and turned
away thousands of people who were
anxious to pay real money to see the
great play the actors were rehearsed
for three weeks. In order to get per-
feet performance of "Old Heidelberg"
