CONCERT WAS
GREAT SUCCESS
Another Capacity House at
Benefit Givensat Elks
Theater. Last Night
MISS HINOJOS WAS S0LOIST
Varied Program of Music, Song,
Recitations and Moving
Pictures.

i Although Verdi's immortal Mise
rere' was sung last night at the Elks'
theater, there was no occasion for
sorrow over the attendance at the
concert. which was given under the
auspices of the ladies of the Cathe-
dral for the benefit of the Rosario
cemetery fund. The Elks' theater
was literally packed, from pit to gal
lery and several boxes were pressed
into service. 1t was a magnificent
response to aid worthy cause and
certain it is the musical treat was in
no way a disappointment.
The program was varied, to suit the
tastes of every one. There were Sc
/ lections by Morrison's delightful or
chestra of seven pieces; moving pic
lures of interesting and funny scenes,
Rotations, and songs.
Speaking of songs, Miss Frances
Hinojos of this city, last night was a
queen of song. She proved that her
vocal training, received at the acade-
my conducted by the Sisters of Char
ity at Mount st. Joseph in Cincinnati,
has been the correct training, for she
sings With the proper method Every
note was warbled with the greatest
ease, and her voice was well develop
! ed in all its registers Her enuncia-
| ton was strikingly good, and the au-
dience not only knew what language
she was singing in, but also what she
was singing about.
| For one so young this is an achieve
ment. Miss Hinojos has bright fu-
ture before her, as she has a sweet
soprano voice and she evidently
knows how to use it.
Miss Hinojos might have been
heard to even greater advantage last
night if she had sung the Miserere
from II TroVatore in Italian instead
of English, for after all, Italian is the
language of ''bel canto' and we are
not yet educated up to Nine. LIE
Bruins idea of having grand opera
sung in plain English.
A. J. Teare, who sang with Miss
Hinojos in the Miserere, has a very
! good voice which he controls we'll and
| he shared in the applause which came
| spontaneously from a delightful audi.
ence
! In the sixth number of the program
Miss Hinojos sang the Jewel song
from Faust and again demonstrated
that she knows how to sing and has
been endowed by nature with the
/ Che Wo Io11pJ to fri,,
encore and she did SO gracefully
Miss Morrison.
! Miss Genevieve Morrison enlivened
the program with a recitation into
which she put the fire of we'll train
ed speaker who warns up naturally
to the subject. Her gestures were
graceful, her voice clear, well modu-
lated, and pleasing.
! She gave, as an encore, the seIec-
tion about the maid of II and the 9TH
: er of 40, and caused gales of laugh
ter Miss Morrison is the grand
daughter of Judge A. L. Morrison of
this city, and who has been known for
half century as a public speaker of
unusual ability
Garden of Love-"
| The final number was entitled THE
! Garden of Love" and represented
quartet of pretty maidens, with dainty
parasols and attractive costumes that
were in harmony with the "lovely"
theme. The girls were Misses Ra-
mona Baca. Anita Baca, Frances Hi
nojos and Genevieve Morrison. There
were men, too, in that garden of love.
They were Messrs Stevenson, Van
Vliet, Loomis and Muller. The girls
and the boys sang well, and their
eyes did good deal of talking, or
warbling, as the case happened to
be. The audience was decidedly
amused, and some of the young men
on the stage seemed to share in the
amusement. 1t was a clever special
ty' and served well to close a pro-
gram replete with interest.
Mrs. v. L. Bean was piano accom-
paniste and lent sympathetic support
The piano used was kindly furnished
by the Eyles Music Company and it
was valuable addition to the musk
fest"
+! Morrison's orchestra played several
music gems during the moving pic
lures and intermissions, and the two
hours of entertainment were over be-
fore one could realize how the time
had passed.
The receipts must be gratifying to
the ladies of the Cathedral, who had
worked hard to get up the entertain
m, at
