lief Fund

If you have not contributed to the
italian earthquake relief fund, a, splen-
did opportunity will be offered this
afternoon at the Mason opera house to
do so and to have your moneys worth
returned to you in one Of the most
elaborate musical programs ever pre-
1ted to Los Angeles audience.
The entertainment is the elimination
Of plans which were begun several
days ago, when the extent of the cata-
clysm which visited southern Italy the
past week first became known. The
rvices Of score Of musical stars
from all the leading theaters of the
city voluntarily have been offered and
| accepted, the result Of which is an I'M
usually attractive program.
1t Is expected hundreds Of persons
will avail themselves Of this method of
contributing to the constantly swell
Ing fund, since the entire proceeds will
be sent to the earthquake sufferers in
Italy, the services Of the many musical
stars not only having been donated to
the cause but the theater and all &C
cessories having been contributed as
cheerfully.
There will be a small charge for
seats, at least small in comparison
When the quality Of the entertainment
| is considered, for the same high-class
| artists who have attracted crowded
houses for the past week will be heard
and In addition there will be a greater
variety Of musical numbers and a
greater number Of artists.
che fund which is being raised for
the stricken Italians is swelling into
the thousands and every day some new
| and unexpected generosity is recorded
The subscription Of the italian Vine
yard company, originally for 500, has
been increased to five times that
amount; the subscription of N. Bon
filio of S25 has been increased to 500,
and that of Joe Payliano from $25
to $50.
Other Funds Raised
Niles Pease, treasurer of the fund
being raised by the Merchants and
Manufacturers association, chamber
Of commerce, Municipal league and 9TH
er public bodies, already has received
nearly $500, and five times this amount
should be received in varying sums be-
fore the fund Is closed, as many BUSH
ness interests are yet to be heard from.

moons all-star musical program will
