Ellen Beach -Go1dthwaite is not
a Californian by birth, but was born
near Boston. She spent most of her
her many friends. If Mrs. Goldthwaite
attempts grand opera I tremble for
her success. Her voice is a beautiful
lyric soprano and her work is most
artistic, but entirely too light for grand
opera.
A new opera house or auditorium Is
to be built in New York where light
opera only will be given. The site
chosen is between Sixty-second and
Sixty-third street on Central Park
west. Heinrich Conried has accepted
the invitation of the founders to be
the director of the institution.

Fritz Kreisler, the violinist, appeared
in concert at Redlands Tuesday even
ing, and the guests and patrons of the
Spinet club of that city enjoyed gen.
uine musical treat. Kreisler is a man
whose whole soul is devoted to his
music: to make his violin its voice, to
hold himself as a communicating me-
dium only to search deeper and deeper
into the music and then express the
results of that searching, is the sum,
perhaps. of his method, and by follow
ing it he has become the greatest of
all violin virtuosos of the present day.
He and his wife reached Los Angeles
yesterday, accompanied by Haddon
Squires, his pianist. They were guests
last night at the Gamut club. together
with Mr.. Paderewslki and his wife.

feast of music and a splendid pro-
gram was rendered by the boys. Mr..
Kreisler will play his one recital in Los
Angeles at Simpson auditorium tomor-
row evening, March 6. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that there is but one Kreisler
recital in this city, but owing to many
dates throughout Southern California
and the middle portion of the state but
one evening could be secured in this
city.
