Singleton gives the following account
of his experience:
THE shock wrecked the rooms in
which we were sleeping. We managed
to get our clothes on and get out i'm
mediately. We had been at the hotel
only two days and left probably $1,000
worth of personal effects in the room.
After leaving the Palace we secured
an express wagon for $25 to take US
to the Casino near Golden Gate park
where we stayed Wednesday night. On
Thursday we managed to get convey
ance at enormous cost and spent the
entire day in getting to this place We
paid a dollar a piece for eggs and a
dollar for a loaf of bread. On these
and a little ham we had to be salts
fed. We reached Oakland last night
on a ferry boat and are now trying to
get back to Los Angeles"
Mr.. Singleton, like thousands of 9TH
er people in Oakland found himself
without funds this morning and as
there are no banks open and none viii
be open until Monday he had difficulty
in securing cash until he met some one
who knew him. The people who find
themselves without money in Oakland
are numerous and all are having diff

banks and all business houses being

Of the splendid scenery, stage fittings,
costumes and musical instruments
were lost in the fire which destroyed
the Grand opera house. where the
season had just opened to splendid
audiences. No one of the company
was Injured. but nearly all of them
lost their personal effects Nine. Sem

save her valuable pearls. The total
loss to the organization may reach
$500 For the past two days the
singers and musicians have been liv-
ing with friends or camping out in
the parks and on the hillsides of San
Francisco. Some were quartered at
the Chutes.
When they We're seen by an Associ-
ated reporter in their special cars, the
opera stars gave an intelligent account
of their experience.
On the morning of the earthquake the
members of the company were distrib-
uted among the different hotels, most
of them being. at the Palace. St Fran
ces and the Oaks Caruso. Scott, Miss
Walker. Miss Abbott, Miss Jacoby and
other principals we're at the Palace.
Placone and DIPPED and Nine Sem
brich were at the St Francis and the
musicians and chorus at the Oaks. Nine.
Games, Miss Frenstad and several 9TH
ers were at private hotels or residences.
The sudden shock brought all out of
their bedrooms in all kinds of attire.
The women were in their night dresses,
the men in pajamas, none pausing to
dress. all convinced that their last hour
had come. Ten minutes later Caruso
was seen seated on his valise in the
middle of the street. Many Of the 9TH
ers had rushed to open squares or other
places Of supposed safety. Even then
it was difficult to avoid the debris fall
ing from the crumbling walls.

Guess the Tempo was Right.

The editor of a paper published at
Little Rock was once in receipt of
complimentary copy of a musical com
position by an Arkansas friend. saws
Success Magazine.
Feeling that he was called upon to
make some acknowledgment of the
courtesy, the editor did so in this wise:
AS the editor of this paper doesn't
know a demisemiquaver from a dfaph-
ason, or a bass clef from a high G.
he will not, therefore. be expected to
give an extended notice Of this pro-
duction. We can say, however, that
the type used in printing the compost
ton is clear and plain, and that the
paper appears to be of the best quality
of rag. The design on the front page
is most artistic. and the words are az
tender as real spring chicken and
as poetic as the song of the meadow
lark on May morning. The melody
is sound and all right, with no wind
gals or collar marks. The harmony,
too, appears to be strictly o. K. with
no patent defects or noticeable blem-
ishes. The totally or noticeable blenl-
ant, and rests on harmonic relations
and nelodic elements. This is about
all the praise in connection with said
composition we are able to evolve from
our ca bbage-hsvored temperament
