Edward s. Fuller. Although many
knew of his illness, none were pre-
pared for the news of his sudden death.
He was fine character, promising
organist, an excellent pianist, and did
some composing that was full of merit,
and was popular and we'll liked, having
a large circle of friends in the city.
Mr. Fuller came here from Boston
about four years ago, and was or
ganist at the time of his death at the
First Unitarian church.
NEW ORLEANS.-In a letter writ
ten to the New Orleans Picayune
correspondent signing himself "Anoth-
err One" declares that the members and
patrons of the local philharmonic So
ciety should offer up thanks to Music
Lover" a previous correspondent, for
starting the complaint as to the pro-
grams that are thrust upon us by
world famed song BIRDS who pay us
occasional visits, usually after having
become has beens' in real musical
centers. 1t is to be sincerely hoped"
Another One" continues, that Nine.
Marcella Sembrich will not have be-
come one of this class before she visits
us in March, but from glance at the
program that has been selected for her,
one will hesitate about paying 81 seat
to hear such rubbish. Why, we have
been hearing Nine. Padovani sing the
whole opera of 'Traviata' for Just half
that amount, and she sang it beauti-
fully, too. 1t is surprising that the
Philharmonic society, which organized
for the purpose of bringing fine artists
here and giving us classical music,
should pay $1,000 to bring Nine. Senbrich
here and allow such a program to be Sc
lected and be forced down our threats.
Why not revive 'Dearie and Annie
n oh
'"In conclusion. let me say that 1t is
to be hoped that other members of the
society will rise up in arms and de-
mand something better, as there is am
pie time, before the concert of Nine.
Sembrich, for the Philharmonic So
ciety to select program that will be
worthy the occasion-unless Nine. Sem
brich has already entered the ranks of
Nordica and Calve."
The writer is right about many of
the artists, especially coming to the
coast. Hardly a program has been
sent this season that Mr. Behymer has
not changed at the request of our
leading musicians. We are tired Of old
selections and want something new.

Those who heard Teresa Carreno at
the Saturday matinee yesterday at
Simpson auditorium recognized the
versatile genius of the celebrated pian-
list, whose life has been full of such
experiences as rarely fall to the lot of
woman, and who has enjoyed during
her artistic career as much variety or
work as can be imagined.
Carreno was born in Venezuela, and
they are exceedingly proud of her down
there, as we'll they may 'be. She is
vocalist as well as a pianist. an or
chestra director as we'll as all round
musician, and today is recognized as
the worlds greatest woman pianist.
Arrangements have been completed
for a second recital by this talented
instrumentalist, which takes place at
Simpson auditorium on Friday night,
February 49, Special rates have been
arranged for teachers and students, and
a glance at the program numbers which
follow shows the wonderful range in
selections enjoyed by the artist.

A most fascinating lecturer, and
most interesting personality, is the YER
dict of those who heard the eminent
Polish professor and lecturer, Wincenty
Lutoslawski, speak on the subject of
the Polish nation at Simpson audi
forum last Friday night, and Manager
Behymer could not have selected a
more eminent scholar and pleasing
speaker to open the New University
lecture course this season than in Sc
Iecting this talented authority on Pla-
toism and European civics, politics and
history.
A devout Catholic, a linguist, speak
ing twelve different languages, the
author of many erudite volumes,
refugee from the officials of the czar.
espousing the cause of the freedom or
Poland, the reformation of laws relat-
ing to the tenement life of the poor
in great cities, Wincenty Lutoslawski
has made his mark in all the leading
capitals in Europe and the larger cities
of America.
Coming to Southern California to
rest, he gradually became advised of
the lack of real information possessed
by the majority of the public in this
section of the country, and being re-
quested by his friends, the Count and
Countess Bozenta, to speak in Los An
geles. consented to deliver this series
of interesting talks on European sub
jects.
His next lecture, which takes place
on Tuesday evening of this week at
Simpson auditorium, is one of great
interest to the American public at the
present time: 1.-The Russian Crisis and
What Has Brought 1t About; GER
tainly a momentous subject, and when
one can hear 1t handled in an intelli-
gent manner by probably the greatest
authority in Europe on this subject,
they should take advantage of this
only opportunity and listen to some
thing which Is not only educational and
instructive, but intensely entertaining
as we'll.
The third and last subject to be dis
cussed by this scholarly advocate Is one
of vast Importance to every American,
1.-THE Imminent and Inevitable Euro
pean War" which will be presented at
Simpson auditorium March 2.

Paderewslxi is now making his sew
enth and most successful tour OF Amer
lea. He comes to Los Angeles Tues
day evening, March 8, and will play
under the management of l.. e. Behy-
rner at Temple auditorium. Paderewski
refuses this year to play oftener than
three times a week, consequently the
total number of his appearances, in
GLIDING those with orchestra, VIII be
limited to seventy-five.
All accounts agree that the pianist
has never been in better form than he
Is now: has never been playing so well.
