The Musical w orld
BY Gcnevra Johnston Bishop

MISS oUELIET. one of the finest
N harpists that has ever been in
LII Los Angeles, is to play at
Fresno March 27 for the musical CLUB
there. Among the fine. press notices
Miss Oueliet has is one from Boston
critic, and says:
"Miss Ouellet, a gifted harpist, ap-
peared here last evening for the first
time. She met with great success and
we'll did she deserve 1t. She has the
technique of her instrument under per-
feet control, and secures the most beau
tiful tone even while in the upper regis
ters, or in the midst of the most diff
cult passages. To many in the audi
ence the harp was not favorite IN
strument. and as solo instrument the
possibilities We're unknown until Miss
studied for several years under Jo-
hannes Snoer, the celebrated master,
in Leipsig, and is an artist.

The Lyric club will give its concert

Sorry to hear Nordica's voice is
showing signs of failing. Courier says
''Nordica will probably not be heard
in New York again this season" Jo-
nell substituted for her at the New
York symphony concert. Such glo-
rious voice ought to live to be heard
forever.

Pauline Lucca. the great soprano,
died at her home in Vienna February
2S. Lucca in her prime was idolized.
While as a singer she was not as Won
derful as Patti or Nilsson, she had a
beautiful rich voice and great personal
charm and magnetism. Her voice was
a dramatic soprano of good range. and
il was said she had the greatest reper-
tory of almost any singer in the world,

is not of the bizarre character. 1t is
subservient at all times to poetic ex-
preston. in which he is unrivaled. and
this is why Kreisler has come into his
own on the Pacific coast, and why he
will play a return date at Simpson
auditorium on next Sunday afternoon.
The program as arranged is what
Mr.. Kreisler considers one of his great
est, and as 1t is practically composed of
request numbers. will undoubtedly Gre
ate an excellent impression among his
auditors. Fritz Kreisler does quite as
much in the cause of eighteenth CEN
tury music as the Dolmetsches, with
harpsichord and viol d'ammore. Kreis-
ler's selection of old masters brings in
creased interest and novelty to his au-
diences, who are probably somewhat
stated in common with the brilliant work
of Kubelik, Hartmann and Ysaye.
Special rates will be made to teach
ers and students next Saturday, and
this is positively Kreisler's farewell to
Los Angeles.

She made her debut as Elvira in "Er-

in all the capitals of Europe. Lucca
married twice. Her first husband was
Baron Won Rhaden. From him she was
divorced. Her second husband was
Herr Won Wailhofen, who died about
ten years ago. Since she retired from
the operatic stage Lucca has devoted
much time to teaching and had the
satisfaction OF hearing many of her
pupils In leading roles all over the
world. The writer studied with her
four months one summer at Gurnuden
In 1898. AS a teacher, however, l do
not think she excelled. AS an artist
she was par excellence, and think
she-was the greatest Carmen We have
ever heard in this country, even Calve
could not approach her., either mu-
sically or dramatically.

Los Angeles treated Fritz Kreisler
very nicely at his concert last Friday
night but San Francisco has given him
an ovation wnlch exceeds tnat Oh hu-
belik and Paderewski put together.
Kreisler played last Sunday afternoon
in San Francisco and transported hum
dreds of musical deyotees to Elysium
with delicious sound and soothed the
art hungry by vitalizing with his bow
the beautiful tone dreams of the early
eighteenth century composers. We
know Kreisler makes the violin sing,
perhaps more sweely than any other
living player, while to the professional
clientele his superb musicianship Is a
source of 'boundless delight.
Kreisler looks one in the eye and
plays with direct appeal to the heart.
He makes the strings sing lyric poem
evey time he plays. which is just as
definite as printed verse or painted
canvas. He does not perform the mar
velous feats in lingering the violin and
bowling which distinguished the vir-
tuosity of his great Polish rival. While
the technical perfection of his playing
is one of its most alluring qualities, it

NOVEL CELEBRATION-ARLING.
 TON FOLKS WHO SUMMER AT SHERMAN, CONN.,, HAVE BUILT
 ARTIFICIAL LAKE THERE.
 A novel dinner party was given al the residence of MT and Mrs Edward P. Mallinson, at 62 Ashford street, Tues. day night. The chief decoration of the table was miniature lake, in which disported gold and silver fish, and in which small dolls in mimicry of sporting maidens stood in water up to the tops of their ankles. In this and other ways was depicted the ex- pected pleasures next summer to be de- rived from an artificial lake which the clan of Wilson, residents of the Arling- ton section, who summer at Sherman Conn. have built for their pleasure and the improvement of their lands. The lake has been in process of building for two years and more and the din ner was in celebration of the fact that a few days ago it was completed and is now ready for stocking with fish. It is forty acres in extent and will be maintained as a fish preserve and boat ing resort for the Brooklyn folks who own cottages there and others of the clan.
 > The Rev Warren H. Wilson, who, before he came to the Arlington Aven- ue Presbyterian church, was located at Sherman, started the colony of sum- mer cottage owners, and now there is quite Brooklyn aspect to the place. The dinner was jolly one and every one who knew how, and that included about all, made speeches congratula- tory about the lake. Swimming match es were arranged for and an assortment of fish was suggested for the lake that would stock it as close as canned sardines. Among those who were present were the following Sherman ties: The Rev and Mrs Warren H. Wilson, Mir and Mrs Andrew Mclean, Mir and Mrs J. F.
