Los Angeles herald., 1909-05-14

TIME program given last night in
Temple auditorium under the aus
Il pices of the Gamut club touched
high water mark as an artistic sue
cess, and the double bill presenting an
"all star aggregation was greeted by
a large audience, which furnished eva
dence of hearty approval by frequent
enthusiastic and prolonged applause.
In fact it was rather a greedy audi
dience demanding more" of each ar
tiste with an nsistence not to be easily
denied. demands meeting in nearly
every case with gracious compliance.
Dalhousie Young, an Englshman
who came to Los Angeles this winter a
stranger with only a few acquaint-
ances, but with ap international repu-
tation as a composer lecturer and
pianist, and who has already made
many friends. added to their number
last night by group of piano num-
bers rendered with marked musician
.>sship.
Madam Bertha Vaughn delighted old
and new friends with vocal selections,
displaying to great advantage her true
and flexible lyric coprano, and Ignaz
Eduard Harold scored a distinct sue
cess with his violin, responding to
second encore with a dainty little dance
that should be Hungarian If 1t is not.
Harry Clifford Lott, baritone was in
splendid voice, and his programmed selec-
tionS and one encore number aroused
genuine enthusiasm.
"The Violin Maker of Cremona,'
which comprised the second half of the
bill, was awaited with interest, an in
terest so great that no one left the
house, although the curtain for this
number did not rise until half past 10
o'clock.
The little drama, which takes only
about thirty minutes to present, is full
of heart break, and interest centers not
in the love story which may be said 10
be the motif of the play, but in the de-
formed little apprentice TO the violin
maker and his renunciation of his love
and his treasured violin.
The opportunity of the play is his
Filippo's, and this character was por
trayed by Eugene Rowland SO well that
his work did not suffer at all by COM
parison with that of the professionals
in the cast. His violin solos were eX-
quisitely rendered.
"Sandro," played by George A. Lynch,
did not call for exceptional ability;
Hobart Boswarths character work as
the old violin maker was fine, as his
efforts always are, while Florence Stone
as Giannina was charming, as she can
not fail to be.
The programmed numbers were the fol-
lowing:
