Undoubtedly the most important and
most interesting musical event for
Southern California since the advent
Of the Conried opera company is the
coming of the New York Symphony
orchestra and Walter Damrosch to this
city, the middle of next month. Mr..

reached a degree of excellence that
places it in the very front ranks of

many of them eminent soloiSts and
each one a flrst-class artist.

the Grau opera company will never
be forgotten by those who witnessed
those remarkable performances with
casts such as no European opera house
has ever equaled. 1t was in this man

proud of.

the quiet and sacred theme of the
oratorio.
