| Ellen Beach Yaw and her associate
artists will give a concert for the bene-
fit of the rebuilding fund Of the Jew
ish Orphans home September % at the
Auditorium. This concert is under the
auspices of the Jewish Benevolent as
sociation and brilliant galaxy of To-
cal society women, who are planning
to make of the concert a function of
the first order
Miss Yaw will present character
istic program, including a group f
classical selections, several excerpts
from her operate triumphs at home
and abroad, some ballads and one or
two of the old songs of which she Is
so perfect an interpreter.
In Miss Yaws support will be found
Jay Plowe, the eminent solo flutist
from the Royal opera house Of Ber-
lin, declared by Strauss, Nikisch and
other masters a virtuoso upon his in
strument without compare, and Mary
Newman, accompanist.
The demand for seats for this con-
cert both among the Jewish folk who
are directly interested and the society
people who see here another oppor-
tunity for combined pleasure and char
ity, promises to be exceptionally large
so large, in fact, that the whole ca
pacity Of the biggest theater in Los
Angeles will probably be heavily taxed
to accommodate the throng.
The directors of the home feel sure
that this concert will provide them
with the funds to house their little
charges, of whom there are sixty, who,
in temporary quarters, will feel keenly
the approach of winter if something
is not done at once to provide for their
residential needs during the rainy sea-
son.
The list of patronesses who will lend
grace and distinction to this worthy
charity is one Of the most notable
which has volunteered for similar
function in Los Angeles In recent
years. This enumeration, which reads
like a social directory, includes Mes
danes James S. Slauson, w. c. Pat

The honor of opening the autumn
club season belongs to the Dominant
club, which held it's first meeting yes
terday at the Ebell club house. This
club, composed Of about fifty repre-
sentative women musicians Of the city,
is one in which membership is eagerly
sought. The membership is limited,
however, and at present there is a
long aifiOoy af d,ot y,ooaf;,oo- {s
always a luncheon, and afterward,
through the winter, on the first Sat-
urdays of the month, members assem-
BILE for luncheonS or teas alternately
Miss Mary O'Donoughue is the presi-
dent of the club, but as she is abroad
for the season Mrs. Ada Marsh Chick
first vice president, presided at the
meeting yesterday. She conducted the
business meeting with dignity and dis
patch, and introduced in gracious and
tactful manner the speakers and those
who contributed to the delightful So
cial occasion which followed.
Among the guests of honor were Mr..
and Mrs. Jaroslav de Zielinski who
have recently established themselves
in the city. Mr.. de Zielinski was one
of the after dinner speakers, and his
remarks were particularly happy and
appropriate. He introduced the name
of the club, the Dominant" and re-
lated briefly the Importance it has al
ways held in the musical scale, and
in fact in all musical work. From t. IS
Mr.. de Zielinski touched upon modern
musical formation, spoke of the re-
markable beauty of recent French
compositions, and concluded his re-
marks with compliments to the local
the Lyric club. Few speakers
of such ~olish and culture have ap-
peared before this club, and the men,
bers were delighted. Mrs. Gertrude |
Ross, the young Los Angeles musi- !
clan who recently has returned from |
two years abroad, spoke of the pre-
sentation in Berlin or Arthur Nevin's !
opera "Poia." She said that the Amer
leans in the audience applauded and |
the Germans hissed. They objected to
having a foreigner present his work |
first on their stage, and they rebelled |
decidedly at the emperor because he
had allowed such a production. She |
said that one of the grotesque features |
at which every one laughed, even |
friends of the composer, was the IN
1ian ballet, which was like nothing |
that an Indian had ever done, could |
ever do, or could be imagined as do
ing.
Among other guests of distinction
we're Henry Balfour and Mrs. Con-
stance Balfour. Mr. Balfour spoke OF
his delight in having decided to remain
in Los Angeles, and made
he usual pleasant impression which
lis striking personality and affable
manner always assure him.
Ellen Beach Yaw, her mother, Mrs.
Miss Thwaite, an artist
ind organist from Copenhagen, who is
he guest here of Miss Wilbur, were
tmong the distinguished guests present
It the luncheon, and Miss Lillian
smith, the talented young pianist, was
llso present with her mother Both
Irs. Smith and Miss Smith will leave
,arly in the week for Chicago, going
rom there to Vienna, where Miss
smith will study for year and then
oncertize through Europe. Many of
he members had guests with them for
he luncheon and about fifty-five COW
RS were laid.
The various tables were all arranged
With lavender and white asters and
erns, and the dining room of the club
resented a beautiful appearance.
