Opening. the Philharmonic course for
this its eleventh consecutive season,
November 27, comes Arthur Hartman,
the Bohemian violinist, who was heard
here some two years ago with such
keen pleasure when he appeared as one
of the artists on this same course
Hartman's first tour of America atter
ten years of success abroad brought to
us a man of modest and unaSsumlng
demeanor, and yet in that time, during
ten years of unprecedented success and
ovation, he managed to master four
languages, not only speaking but also
writing them fluently, and to familiar
ize himself with the masterpieces OF
Shakespeare, Goethe. Moliere and
Jokai, as we'll as Turgenieff and Dosto-
jewski. And this year, according to
all reports, he comes back to us just
the same manly man, but a greater
artist than ever
The Los Angeles Symphony orchestra
had so large a subscription on its books
this year that they start out with re-
newed enthusiasm and will be heard in
teh first concert of the season Friday
afternoon at the Auditorium.
Conductor Hamilton has planned one
of the most auspicious seasons ever
given to Los Angeles in symphony
work introducing many novelties never
before given in Los Angeles, and yet,
to use his own words, II do not want
the public to think we have become
mad, for. on the contrary, our pro-
grams will have many of the old tried
and true composers with their best
compositions"
Emilio de Gogorza will be the soloist
for the first concert, and Judging from
the box office receipts up to the pres
ent time a greater favorite could not
have been secured. Many will remem-
ber Gogorza's first work on the Pa
clfic coast, when he appeared with
Emma Eames, and first through his
own personality and then on account
of his singing made such an excellent
impression that when he returned here
two years ago in concert he received
an ovation.
This favorite American baritone will
sing two solos with orchestral accom-
paniment-the prologue to "Pagliaccf'
and "Visions Fugitive" The complete
orchestra program follows:
Ramayana suite in five scenes, "Ayo-
dhya at Daybreak," Rama and Sita
in the Forest" 1.-THE Monkey War;
"Mandodari's Lament" THE Return to
Ayodhya" (Shapleigh); Vorspiel to "Lo-
appasionata, adaglo, scherzo presto,
A minor, op. 55, introduction, allegro
appasionata, adagio, scherzo phesto,
finale. prestissimo (saint-Saens).

The Appolo club of Boston opened the
present season the evening Of Novem-
Der with IU6 JWO COICCII

The opinion of the Boston corre-
spondent of the Musical Leader and
Concert Goer concerning Adela Verne,
the pianist who is to appear in Los
Angeles December with the Womans s
orchestra, Is of interest and is given
herewith:
"The young English pianist. Miss
Adela Verne, made her local debut in
Jordan hall and quickly gave evidence
that she was an artist who merited
serious consideration. Miss Verne's
technical skill is a high grade, her
touch is exquisitely dainty and crisp
when required, as was shown in her
charming performance of the quaint
old time harpischord group in Liszt
etude, and to a somewhat less extent
in the scherzo part of the Chopin So
nata. Well equipped in the lighter
forms of her art she does not lack
power in fortissimo passages and she
colors her interpretations 1udiciously
In additionto the numbers before mem
toned commendation is due her for
splendidly Verile exposition of staccato
figuring in the Rubinstein etude and
for brilliancy and celerity in execut-
ing the double runs in The Wind
Alkan's snowy finger exercise.
The Oratorio society of New York,
under Frank Damrosch, will give six
different choral works this season at
Carnegie hall. OF these Debussy's "The
Blessed Damoser will be novelty.
The new work by Debussy, "Pelleas ct
Melisande," will be produced at the first
concert, Wednesday evening, December
2, and with it will be presented La
Vita Nuova," by Wolf Ferrari, which
made a deep impression year ago as
music of originality and power.
