NOTED PAR|S|ANS
VISIT ANGEL CITY
WILL GIVE ENTERTAINMENT
DURING WEEK
Louis Planet Is a Finished VioIinist
and Madame TekIey-PIaneI Is a
Noted Actress and Pupil
of Dumas

Los Angeles bears the same relation
to the United States that the most
noted watering places and continen-
tai centers of art do to Europe as a
whole; and is rapidly becoming the
Mecca for all tourists. The richest
and most noted people now make it a
point to include Los Angeles in their
itinerary.
Two of the most noted figures of
Partisan society, Monsieur Louis Pla-
mel and his wife, Nine. Tekley-Planel,
are now in the city. Mons. Planel is
one of the celebrated musicians of that
great musical center. By birth an
American, he was sent to Paris when
a mere youth of 16 to study under the
great masters. He successfully took
instruction under Massart, Allart and
the great VieuXtemps. He achieved
such distinction as a violinist that he
was decorated by the French govern
ment with the cross of the Legion of
Honor. a distinction, by the way,
which has never been accorded to any
other American musician.
When visited yesterday by a Herald
reporter upon his dresser were photo
graphs of such noted men as Fran
co.'s Coppee, the author Henry de
Bornier, the dramatic writer; Alex
ander Dumas, C. Saint-Saens, Masse-
net and others, all Of whom claim him
as a friend.
Nine Tekley-P -Planel is a noted act
ress of Paris and a collaborater of the
great Alexander Dumas. She has
under his direction, presented all OF
| his most noted dramas and has given
! them an Interpretation which has won
his most hearty approval. Nine. Pla-
nels resemblance to Bernhardt is
striking and she is often taken for the
| divine Sarah.
The old Planet mansion in San Fran
cisco was destroyed by the great fire
of last year, and to this fact is due
the visit of Mons. Planet and his wife
at this time.
Mons. Planet has with him his two
Violins, one of which Is a Magglni, O
magnificent specimen Of the Cremonf
type and valued at $4,000. The other is
a Steiner, which is the most celebrated
violin of German manufacture. 1t is
more than two hundreds years old ant
is valued at $4,000, He played and SANG
with the most marvellous tone and ar.
tistic feeling.
Nine. Tekley-Panel long the lead.
ing actress at the Theater Franchise
remembers her early struggles ant
recognizes how difficult 1t sometimes
is for even the most worthy to secure
recognition. She therefore takes espe
cial pains to hear those who come t
Paris with exceptional voices and lin
tied means and assists them to secure
recognition.

BREAKING OUT IN VERSE

Enthusiasm over the great project
for an inexhaustible supply of water
from the owens lake, river and valley
has broken out in verse. Everybody
has taken occasion to express in prac-
tical prose the wonders and necessities
of the enterprise, but until now the
songsters and versiflers have failed OF
their duty.
The Herald is just in receipt of a
letter from one of its good friends at
Hynes, who encloses "a copy of the
words OF the pretty song entitled
Owens River Water which was COM
posed by a song writer acquaintance of
mine" The opening verse of this pro-
duction reads as follows:
Did you ever stop to think
What the southland would be
If Owens river pass through
On It's way to the sea?
Its water gliding along
Singing merrily and gay
To fig, orange, olive;
And sweet old fields of hay?
To the pedantic and unreasonable,
this versification may seem rather
wobbly but these should remember
that it's song. Sing it and it may
sound better AS, for instance, the
chorus:
Every day men are looking for good
water;
They are prospecting high and deep;
They are rustling for Owens river water
While the snoozers are asleep.
They'll be blessed by future generations,
AS the years go by with rush;
When Owens river water will be favorite
Instead of common old slush.
That isn't very sentimental, we must
admit, but if there is anything in
poetry and music at all it should be
the expression of a great and beauti-
full truth. From such a standpoint it
can be readily understood that a too
close inspection of the meter might
obfuscate the beauties of the truth it is
meant to convey.
But we fancy that the second and
last verse of this splendid song-poen
may measure up little nearer the
demands of those who insist that
poetry, in order to be the real stuff,
must at least approximate the Won
ders of Cheer Up, Mary" The second
verse reads:
The crystal waters will flow
From Whitney's snow and ice,
And in the desert waste
Create paradise.
Then fruit and flowers
Will flourish DER the land,
Bringing JOY peace and wealth
To the Los Angeles band.
(All rights reserved)
There, now; that's better, isn't it?
And finging aside the unities of versi-
fication, and all the material localities
that are supposed to surround the lat
ter-day song writers, we must all agree
that the Owens river water will do all
those wonderful things-and more
which our Hynes poet has tried sc
hard to express.
The only regret We can entertain is
that our correspondent neglects to give
us the name of the composer of the
foregoing verses. The correspondent
himself refers vaguely 10 the author
as "a song writer acquaintance Of
mine" but nothing more. This leaves
us only the suspicion that the bashfu
man may be hiding behind his owl
letter Of enclosure.
In any event, we congratulate him
That cause which develops in the pub
lie desire to versify and sing it!
praise is surely popular and most de
serving cause.
