lacking in appearances by mu-
sical stars" but March will with
the very first week have three of the
worlds most popular artists.
Josef Lhevinne, who, although he
has been to our shores thrice, has
never been able to visit the Pacific
coast until this year on account of
his numerous eastern engagements,
will give but one concert in Los An
geles, the evening of March 2, appear
ing as the fourth artist on the Phil
harmonic course.
David Bispham, the sixth and last
artist on the course, will appear March
9. Never have Bispham's vocal powers
been as great as now, and equal his
vast experience. Bisphams lofty ideals,
his love for his chosen career, his
preference for hard work, his rella bill
ity, his steadfastness of purpose to be
faithful to the trust reposed in him
have made him what he is-the most
serious and versatile vocal artist,
American, or foreign, before the public
today, one whose record of achieve
ments is unequaled in all branches of
his art.
Ossip Gabrilowitsch was introduced
to the Los Angeles public two years
ago and no words of commendation are
needed. He will give one concert at
Simpson auditorium the evening of
March so.
The second of the Baumbardt series
of stereopticon lectures will be given
in Symphony hall. Blanchard building,
tonight, and as the seats are not re-
served it behooves all who desire
seats at all to come early, as last Sun
day evening the capacity of the hall
was tested.
"Florence it's history, art and sci
ence' is the subject for this second
lecture, and after Naples and the
shores of paradise" more fitting sub
feet could not have been selected.
For many centuries Florence was the
center of Italian literature, science and
art. and it may well be doubted if any
city in the world can point to such a
galaxy of names distinguished in these
three departments of human endeavor.
Fra. Angelica, Botticelli. Raphael,
Michelangelo. De Sarto Dante, Boo
caccio Machiavelli and Galileo. On
the screen in addition to portrait pic
lures of these world-famous men. prin-
cipal works of art will be displayed
and places of greatest interest.
Too much cannot be said concerning
the educational value of these lectures.
where the best in literature is brought
on the screen and the faces of world
famous men made familiar to our
minds.
The coming of the Ben Greet players
in connection with the Russian Sym
phony orchestra-an organization of
Virtuosos under the direction of Modest
Altschuler-is being looked forward to
with interest not only by music. lovers,
but followers of the drama. This or
ganization is scheduled to arrive in
Southern California early in April, the
tour being under the direction of l..
E. Behymer.
The fifth of the Bruce Gordon Kings
ley lectures will be given in Blanchard
hall this afternoon. "Parsifal," which
will be well remembered as one given
by Mr.. Kingsley some months ago in
the Auditorium.
AS the slides were made when the
lecture was originally produced by the
Metropolitan opera house in New York,
interest attaches to them on account
of their authenticity. Helen Golf. a
promising young woman soprano, will
be soloist. The lecture will be divided
as follows: 1.-The Prelude "Parsifal
and the Swan 1.-The Entry to the Hall
of the Grail" "Klingsor's Magic Cas-
Il
1.-THE Mystic Spear Regained. " 1.-The
Rapture of Gurnemanz' "The Good
Friday Music" and "ParsifaFs Tri-
umph."
DalhOusie Young, a pianist and com
poser well known in Europe, who is
soiourning in Southern California for
the benefit of his wife's health. will
appear at the Lott-KrauSs concert at
Simpson auditorium Thursday evening
Mr.. Young was for many years a con-
cert pianist on the continent, but the
past few years has been spent in Lon
don at composition. The British COM
posers' year book for 1907-S gives con-
siderable space to the compositions of
Mr.. Young. "The Blessed Damozel -
a work for soprano and tenor. full or
chestra and chorus, has been given by
the London Choral society, and in
Graz Austria. Mr.. Young was a pupil
