Kubelik Once More

Never in the history Of musical events
in Southern California was there such
a crush to hear an artist as appeared
Saturday afternoon at Simpson audi
tOrium and tried to obtain seats in an
edifice where there is room for only
1900. Hundreds We're forced to turn
back and secure amusement elsewhere.
This unprecedented demand to hear
this great artist has caused the local
management to arrange for a farewell
recital Thursday night, at which time
an entire change of program will be
given, including Kubeiiks famous in
terbretation of Paganinis "Etude e
Major and selections from the compo-
sitions of Grieg, Wieniawski. Sinigag-

their gaily coored uniforms to outdo
the other fellow. In dedicating the

CONR|ED STARS
ARE COMING
GRAND OPERA PROMISED THIS
MONTH
That Caruso vii Be One of the
Singers Here is the Prom=
ise of the Manage

The possibility of a performance of
grand opera in Los Angeles by the
Conried Metropolitan Opera company
was welcome news to thousands of
music lovers in Los Angeles, through
the agreement reached some days ago
with Charles w. Strine, who is in gen.
eral charge of the second transconti-
mental tour of the Conried Metropolitan
Opera company.
While it is to be regretted that more
than one performance could be ar
ranged at this time, the fact that Mr..
Strine promises that Caruso will be
one of the stars who will appear makes
the general announcement more inter-
esting. .H'
The greatest interest in the coming
engagement, which is scheduled for
Monday evening. April 80, at the Mason,
is naturally in the selection of the bill
to be given. :i.
A double bill may be arranged that
Snight include 'Haensel und Gretel,"
the exquisite fairy opera of Engelbert
Humperdinck, and I'll Pagliacci," the
masterpiece of Leoncavallo, which gives
Enrico Caruso the greatest role in his
entire repertoire and which would make
q magnificent combination of the Ger
man and Italian schools.
Whether this will be possible remains
to be seen, but Mr., Strine told the
Los Angeles manager that the matter
would be carefully considered.
Californians will recall the enormous
furore made in San Francisco last year
when CarusO essayed the role of the
unhappy Canio in "Pagliacci' during
the record breaking season given there
last year. 1t was unanimously pro-
nounced the sensation of the engage
ment and the demands for its repe-
tition We're 50 strenuous that the Con-
ried management gave second per-
formance of the opera. The number Of
enthusiasts who failed to gain entrance
to the Grand opera house more than
equalled those who We're more fortu
nate.
"Haensel and Gretel' was given as
a single bill at the Metropolitan opera
house six times during the season re-
Gently closed in New York and this
representation was a triumph for Herr
Conried. 1t is one of the most beauti-
full examples of all that is exquisite
in the realm of German opera. The
story is founded upon the bewitching
fairy lore that abounds in the literature
of the fatherland.
Mr.. Strine, on behalf of the Conried
management, assured Mr. Wyatt, that
notwithstanding the difference in size
between the Mason theater and the
Grand opera house in San Francisco
he will arrange the same schedule of
prices for the Los Angeles engagement
that will prevail during the season of
the Conried company in San Francisco,
which begins on Easter Monday night
April 16. This means that the sched-
ule will range from $500 to $500.

STEREOTYPED
SCENES IN
MELODRAMA

A series of wildly improbable situa-
tions bound together by vacuous and
silly dialogue is New York Day by
Day" In the melodrama no mercy is
shown the people who watch the spec
tacle.
The stereotyped melodramatic merry
makers shout the same old gags that
have been laughed at for years. The
Irish policeman afraid of his shadow
is the principal jollity purveyor. and he
is closely rivaled in banality by low
comedy German sausage Vender.
Although the cast is small and the
majority of the performers are utterly
superfluous, the most glaring flaw in
the realism is in the second scene of
the second act, when the precocious
messenger boy creeps down the rickety
stairs to the cellar where the old hag is
counting her money. While the ex-
traOrdinary youth is stealing the gold
of the aforesaid old hag the villain with
his fishhook whiskers stalks upon the
scene. Although the messenger is in
plain view, the villain, still with fish
hook whiskers, is utterly oblivious of
the youths presence. While the foot
pad and whiskers stand a few feet
away from the stairs the messen-
ger falls down the steps with a clatter
that could be heard on the sidewalk in
front of the theater, but amid all the
noise of the falling messenger boy the
villain still is oblivious to the clamor.
There are many good melodramas,
and many of the good ones have been
seen at the Grand opera house, but the
crime-stained show that holds forth
this week is certainly not one of them.

CHILD ACTRESS

RURAL DRAMA Is OFFERING OF
BURBANK
John Burton Revives "oId Jed Prouty"
With Assistance of Stock COM
pany-CIeVer Dancing and
Singing

That hardy old perennial, "Old Jed
Prouty," is doing duty again at the
Burbank theater. A crowded house en-
joyed itself last night, weeping and
laughing at the joys and vicissitudes of
this antique character, and the other
people of Bucksport.
The mortgage, the villain and all the
accoutrements of the rural drama of
decade ago were paraded in all their
musty glory. The Burbank actors did
very well with the impossible effects
they We're called upon to portray AL
though the plot is neither new or start
ling, nor the jokes scintillating, the
performance as a whole is stimulating.
John Burton is a delight as Old Jed
His quiet unctious method and his
enjoyable personality fitted the char
acter of the dear old man admirably.
Harry Glazer played Aoran Hem
mingway, an impossible person by the
way, in a finished manner. Each week
proves more conclusive that Mr.. Gla-
zier is a decided addition to the Bur-
bank company. He is an actor of fin
ish. and always plays with excellent
Judgment.
Harry Mestayer, as the Bucksport
constable. does the best bit of character
acting of the play. His makeup and
performance left nothing to be desired.
Carol Arden wore a good-looking gown
in the third act. Stella Rosetta was
attractive as Fanny Todd
1t is safe to say that the stock worn
by Mr.. Desmond in the first and second
act will not set the summer styles for
the male portion of the city desiring
to be considered we'll dressed.
The audience could not get enough of
Fay BANTER in the last act, in which
she sang and danced. She is undoubt-
edly a wonderful little miss and dances
like a breeze. 1t would be easy to
say lot of nice things about Miss Fay,
but you must see her for yourself, and
perhaps you will not be so bored with
the villain and the Bucksport people.

MAN HAS REMARKABLE VOICE
William Davidson Sings Soprano in
Manner That Attracts Won
der of His Audience

The clear tones of a feminine voice
startled the guests of the Lankershim
hotel as they sat around in the lobby
after the dinner hour last night.
The guests looked around trying to
find the woman who was entertaining
them and were surprised to find a
young man seated at the piano in the
orchesta loft playing his own accom-
paniments and singing without the
slightest effort in clear soprano tones.
The young man is William Davidson
of 124 Wood street, Bristol, r. 1. He is
visiting in Los Angeles and a guest
at the Lankershim hotel. His pro-
fession is not that of a Vocalist but a
private secretary to a well known capi-
talist whose name he refuses to divulge
in fear that he will be discharged.
Mr.. Davidsons voice when speaking
suggests that If he were to sing it
would be in pronounced baritone
When he sings his voice is not fall
setto but a clear crystal soprano. He
says that it is no particular intention
of his to sing soprano, but it comes
natural for him to do so.
When the audience in the Lanker-
SHIN lobby had recovered from it's sur
prise Davidson was enthusiastically
encored. The song he was singing was
Rogers cat Parting"
AS it was useless to refuse to sing
further, Mr.. Davidson went through
Nevin's Rosary" Lyons sweetheart
and Mallard's Ave Verum," the latter
one of the old religious chants that
have formed a part of the musical SER
vice of many denominations for ages.
In the same sweet, clear soprano
tones, Mr.. Dawson sang them all.
There was absolutely no effect apparent
in his voice He took the high notes
as easily as the low ones. one of the
guests who is prominently connected
with local circles expressed it thus:
His singing was the most superb
that / have heard for long time. That
man does not belong in the ordinary
role of life, but upon the vaudeville
stage as a man with wonderful
woman's voice. He took his high notes
with no more effort than it required
when he turned the pages of his music.
When he had placed his tones he
seemed to handle them as a magician
when he deftly fips the cards from the
deck out into the audience"
Mr.. Davidson, when pressed for
further history regarding himself, ad
mitted that he had studied under Miss
Clark of Cambridge, Mass, and under
a well known French tenor named
Marceau. At one time he sang for a
week in Kieth's in New York city, but
this was contrary to the wishes of his
parents, and to keep his secret he was
forced to give up professional singing.
He declares that he would not under
take singing in public owing to the
objection of his parents. He admits in
a pleasing and modest manner that his
voice is not unworthy of pSaise and
that he knows he could make a neat
sum of money should he desire. Sew
eral friends have tried to induce him
to book himself with the Orpheum cir
cult, but Mr.. Davidson has so far de-
clined.

KINGSTON, n. Y, April 1.-Cyrus
Showers of Tannersville believes he
has discovered a scientific method of
making hens lay and has read paper
before the Tannersville Fancy Poultry
association on Making Hens Lay by
Electric Light"
Showers has been experimenting with
incandescent lights in his hen house
and is SO we'll pleased with the results
that he will install three 1000 candle
power arc lights in place of the incan-
descents. He believes that the stronger
light will bring about more eggs and
of extraordinary size.
Experimenting with colored lamps is
attracting much of Showers time, and
by Easter he expects to have his hens
produce Easter eggs in many hues and
designs. He would carry the expert
ment further and try to produce Fourth

sign, if it were not that the law makes
it a misdemeanor to use the American
