COUNCIL MAKES
FRIENDLY MOVE
SUGGESTS A COMPROMISE TO
END DEADLOCK
Lawmakers as Individuals VIII Pass
on Nominations Till Acceptable
Trio Is Named, Then
Act Officially

Wearied beyond expression at what
it considers the stubbornness of the
mayor, the council yesterday, unofficial
ly, called on the mayor and made an
ether suggestion for a compromise for
breaking the deadlock over the board
Of public works
Inc councls suggestion is that il
meet, unofficially, in the committee
room and the mayor send in one name
at time. The council offers to inme-
diately send word to the chief executive
when man accepta BILE to that body
is named. This is to continue until
three men acceptable to the council
have been named by the mayor and
the body will then Immediately resolve
itself into the official council and con-
firm the board thus selected.
When this proposition was made to
the mayor he agreed to take it under
advisement and let the council know
his decision at it's adjourned meeting
to be held at o'clock this afternoon
Mayor Promises
While the mayor has promised to
consider it he gives little promise that
this compromise will meet any bet ter
fate than the two previous ones pro-
posed to him by the council.
The council held an adjourned ses-
sion yesterday afternoon for the sole
purpose of receiving appointments from
the mayor for the board of public
works.
The legislative body had turned down
the mayors list of yesterday and he
had been notified of this action and of
the fact that the adjourned meeting
would be held to consider any further
lists he might submit. At o'clock,
the hour for the meeting, the mayor
mad sent in no message Of any kind
and the council was forced to take a.
recess to preserve it's own dignity.
Following the recess the mayors sec
retary brought in the eighth slate for
the board of works. This consisted of
f. T. Perkins, l.. l.. Robinson and w.
M. Humphreys, the identical list that
was refused by the council the day
before.
Third Time No Charm
This is the third time this list has
been submitted and each time the coun-
Gil has refused to confirm it. There was
no change in this attitude yesterday.
AS soon as the names were read
Uncle, George Smith was on his feet
with motion that they be not con-
firmed, and the motion carried without
a dissenting vote.
Inc members or the council then
went into executive session and formu-
lated the proposition which they later
made the mayor. Committee Clerk
Willard Goodwin was sent to notify the
mayor that the council would be
pleased to confer with him, and the
mayor sent back word to the effect
that II the council wanted to talk to
him the council knew where his office
was.
Swallowing a large measure of cha
grim the city Legislators called on the
mayor and made him the proposition,
offering to then go into unofficial ses-
sion and remain there until three men
for the board of works had been de-
cided on If it took until midnight, and
then adjourn until 10 o'clock this morn
ing IL no decision was reached at that
time. To this the mayor would not
agree, but asked time to consider.

CONCERT PROVES PLEASING
CoIIette Heart Bumenfe Affair
Draws Appreciative Audience


A fine audience turned out last night
to the concert given by Mrs. Catherine
Collette, soprano; Miss Estelle Heart
contralto, and Mr.. Natrop Blumenfeld,
violinist. Mrs. Blanche Dobinson acted
as accompanist, pleasing the large at
tendance.
The program was divided into three
parts, each of the singers giving ten
songs. Now, ten songs, one after each
other is not good arrangement of
program for concert for any one less
than a great artist for much transition
of character, Interpretation, personal
magnetism and what's more. the sub
tile magnetic background of 1t all, is
most essential.
Miss I1eartt was in good voice and
was a favorite all through. In the
Brahms Saphic ode, she demonstrated
the best rendition.
Mr.. Blumenfeld was simply immense
He is an artist of great magnitude and
the several numbers were well chosen
to display his technique and virtuosity
to the full extent. First of all he has
STYLE well balanced and drawing and
he gets his technical results without
effort. His tone is pure and resembles
Melba's clear intonations.
Nine. Collette sang her several songs
with much beauty of insight. Her best
work was done in the Ave Maria" by
Mascheroni, in which Mr.. Blumenfeld
played the oblgato. Her singing of
the French songs was particularly
pleasing and she is one of the few
singers who sings the French language
correctly. AS to tone placing, it is
forward and her general bearing gave
brillfancy to her several songs that
pleased all.

NEW HONORS
FOR |NGENUE
MISS HALL WILL LEAD IN
MOR0SC0 SHOW
Sister Of Blanche Hail. Noted for Her
plmlnutIveness, VIII Head ain
South car'Iiney" Company
This Fall

Jessie Mae Hall. the delightful little
ingenue who played in roles of that
description at the Burbank theater for
over year, is to be the leading woman
of the 'In South Car'liney" company
which will be placed on the road in
September by oliver Morosco.
Miss Jesise Mae Hall Is the sister Of
Blanche Hall, the leading woman at
the Burbank now. When 'In South
Carliney" was first produced in Los
Angeles two years ago, Miss Jessie
Hall was featured as Abigail. She is
one of the smallest women on the
American stage today and according
to theatrical authorities she has the
smallest feet of any American woman,
for she has taken three prizes for the
smallness and shapeiness of her pedal
extremities.
Miss Hall is now playing leading role
in the comic opera, "The Street Singer"
which has been touring the east with
success.
During her stay in Los Angeles Miss
Hall was one of the most popular in
genues who have ever held that posi-
tion on a local stock stage.
Abigail, the part in which Miss Hall
is to star. was written expressly for
her by the popular playwright, Harry
D. Cottrell. He is the author of 1.-THE
Empress and the Soldier" which was
recently produced at the Burbank, and
also Of several Of the successes of that
stage.
In the production of "The Street
Singer" in which Miss Hall is now
playing, there is a scene in which she
fences a la Henrietta Crosman. The
press notices from eastern papers
would indicate that she is making a
decided hit with that scene.
The word petite might have been in
vented especially to describe Miss Hail.
She weighs less than ninety pounds,
but possesses a most beautiful singing
voice of remarkable range and depth.

A musical melange entitled "A Royal

members of the cast, is part of the bill
at the Star this week. Miss Coyle

the concluding number of the program
The production is the excuse for a

The humor, as is to be expected, is of

extent commendable. Rube Welch is
considered comical as Jew Jeans,
