entertaining each month at Vista del

Hollywood the Friml afternoon Thurs
day, which constituted the November
program was the event of the week
to the musicians ard friends who were
present.
The hours were from until 6, and a
company of $50 local musicians and

The afternoon was devoted to the
works of Rudolf Friml, the Bohemian
