clock at the Auditorium.
In selecting the program for the con-
certs here, Mr.. Damrosch has given
most careful attention to the numbers
to be offered and the arrangement In
which they will appear. He regards
the Los Angeles concert public as one
of the most particular before which his
organization win play. and promises
novelties at every appearance.
The opening night Monday, sees the
debut of Nevada Van der We're, con-
tralto, and Marcus Kellerman, bari
tone, as soloists; the second night,
Tuesday, Is devoted to Wagner and
presents all the soloists in solos, duos
and quartet numbers, while the We'd
nesday matinee has program
of distinctly different mein. Wednes-
day evening the closing program Is
equally interesting and, If possible

Walter Damrosch takes keen delight
in relating throughout the eastern CEN
ters what a splendid tribute was ten
dered himself and his orchestra last
season by the teachers and pupils OF
the Los Angeles public schools; that
never in the history of his musicai
career has such an inspiration reached
him as that which was given him by
these young folks who are SO in
tensely interested in the study of mu-
sic in this city, and this year he re-
solved before leaving New York to
reserve "a special program for these
youngsters, and play 1t when ne

Those who wondered at DR.. Wull-
ner's unusual repertoire upon his first
appearance in Los Angeles will have
further cause to marvel when they
read the programs which the noted ar
tist is preparing for his. return en-
gagement DR.. Wullner's repertoire
contains more than seven hundred
songs, which he has not only mastered
but sung in public, so it may be easily
understood how this genius of the con-
cert stage has been able to give twen-
tv different recitals in New York alone
this season without repetition with
the exception of such favorltes as
HThe Erlking'' which the public de-
mand.
A feature of one of DR.. Wullner's
new Los Angeles programs will be
"Das Hexenleid," or "WitchS Song,
as II is known in English translation.
This intense work by Ernst Won Wild
enbrush was the sensation OF Wull-
ner's final New York concert. 1t will
be given to the accompaniment OF
music written by Max Schillings. and
tells the story of monk who, on his
death bed, confesses to the love which
he has cherished for a beautiful girl.
This girl condemned to be burned at
the stake for witchery, he had been
sent to confess. Finding her innocent
and beautiful he loves her. To over
come temptation, he fees leaving her
to her fate. In the telling of this
tragedy, it is said that the interpreter
is no longer Wullner the singer, but
Brother Medardus, the monk, racking
with the pains of death and repen-
tance-reciting the story of this awful
tragedy.
On another program will be offered
the -Four Serious Songs" by Brahms,
with their impressive biblical texts.
These beautiful texts have brought to
the Wullner eastern recitals sections
of people who seldom If ever attend
public concerts. Sung by Wullner they
take on the form of tonal- sermons
which grip the heart of the auditor and
convert the concert stage into a pull
pit.
DIR. WulIner will sing two recitals
here, appearing at Blanchard hall,
Tuesday evening, May 10, and the
following Saturday in a matinee at the
same place.
Alice Mario Wernlund soprano, and
Nina Holloway Wood, contralto, gave
recital Thursday evening at the Y
