Los Angeles herald., 1908-03-15

querque, N. NJ, last Monday evening.
| Since the first of February twenty-one
recitals under the local management
have taken place in the territory west
of Denver, and it was cheerfully pre-
dicted in the east that the western
managers would fall down on the Pad
erewski series before one-third of the
| tour has been consummated. Instead
| of falling down, two additional con-
certs were given, the business in the
west was double that in the east, there
was never delay and the only change
in the route that was made was owing
to the strike in Butte and Helena and
the failure of the local managers to
make good, which resulted in placing
in their stead the cites of Victoria, B.
c., and Palo Alto, Cal, with bigger
| financial results than could have been
obtained If the original contract in
Helena and Butte had been carried out.
| The local recital in Los Angeles was
the largest in this territory-in fact the
best attended in the United States
which brought this result by wire to
the local managers from G. A. Ellis,
manager for the United States for
Paderewski, and from the great yir-
tuoso himself:
Boston, Mass, March 10. 190S.--I4. e.

Albuquerque, N. NJ, March TO- 190S.-
L. E. Behymer, Blanchard Bldg, Los

most pleasant of my western trips.

lily our kindest greetings and thanks
for all you have done for our comfort
and pleasure. PADEREWSKI."

most heartily received. The chorus had
made much Improvement this year and
sang with good effect and finish. which
reflects great credit upon the efforts Of

the Ellis club of Los Angeles we feel
very proud to have such a superior
