Al ISIS ADELA VERNE, who ar
MI rived in Los Angeles Sunday
AZ morning, will be heard In public
only twice, once with the Woman's
Symphony orchestra tonight in Simp-
son auditorium, and the second time

Miss Cora Foy entertained in honor
of Miss Verne Sunday afternoon at her
home on San Rafael Heights, and Miss
Verne will receive her friends infor-
mally this evening after the concert
in the parlor of Simpson auditorium.
1t is particularly fitting that Miss
Verne should return to the Pacific coast
at this season, for it was during No
vember, just one year ago, that this
young English BaVarian girl arrived
in Los Angeles and quietly announced
a piano recital by herself with the
result that she was Immediately ac-
cepted by many who heard her as an
artist. Since then she has gained the
New York approval of her work, and
all throughout the northwest has met
with great success. The complete pro-
gram for tonight follows:
