Club News

What Is a Persona was under dis
cussion wednesday at the Political
Equality club at Venice when Miss
Mary Foy, a member of Mrs. Clara
Foltzs law class and for many years
a prominent educator of this city, "ad-
dressed a large gathering at the home
of Mrs. Force Parker.
Miss Foy explained to the club that
a person, technically defined, is an in
dividual who has rights and privileges,
therefore a woman is a person. Fur
thermore, according to the constitu-
ton of the United States a citizen is
a person born within the boundaries
of this republic. Again, therefore, a
woman is a citizen, stated Miss Foy
Intensely interesting was the subject
matter Of Miss Foy's lecture, which
was given over to legal points which
apply to American women in the state,
national and international law
President ]. H. Braly of the Los
Angeles Political Equality league, fol-
lowed Miss Foy in short talk urging
upon the Venice members the need of
intensifying the work already done by
the suffrage workers of Southern Cal
ifornia.
Miss Bess Mum of the Political
Equality league gave the club a brief
resume OF the newspaper work being
done IN the south to further the work.

SC0TTPS VOICE
AND ACTING CHARM
OPERATE Favorite Opens PhiIhar-
monte Concerts at Simp-
son Auditorium
NINE. De PASoUALI SCORES
Newcomer to Los Angeles Audi
enCeS Shares Triumph
with Great Tenor
By FLORENCE Bosard Lawrence

Scott and de Pasquali opened the
Philharmonic course concerts last
night in Simpson auditorium. These
two singers, heard here for the first
time in concert, attracted an audience
which crowded every inch of available
space and proved a constant and gem
uine delight to every listener. Scott,
already a favorite from his operate
appearances, confined his singing en-
tirely to famous arias, and from the
familiar and popular Prologue from
Pagliacci to the classics from Mozart
the singer received plaudits of most
enthusiastic character.
1t is not always the greatest voice
which makes the greatest SINGER anu
Signor Scott utilizes an exquisite ART
and a mastery reading of every song
to enhance by many degrees the pow
ers of his voice. This instrument, with
its many beautiful tones, is GUIDED by
a marvellous breath control, which en-
ables him to achieve almost any de-
sired effect with his voice.
He sang, besides the LeoncaVallo
number, the Cayatine from Faust, two
Mozart selections, and with Madame
de Pasquali a duet from Giovanni,
and one from the Barber of Seville.
In these latter numbers the skill or
the composers found able exposition
in the artistry of the singers
After the Fin chan del Vino" by
Mozart, the singer gave the song from
Falstaff, beginning when l was a
mage" and this humorous gem gave
such delight that it was repeated three
times before the demands Of the au-
dience. charmed with the art and
laughing at the comedy Of song ana
singer could be satisfied.
Madame Bernice de Pasquall is q
newcomer to Los Angeles audiences
and opened her concert with the Ia
nous Polonaise from Mignon. ms,
favorite with coloratura singers, re-
vealed q good range, but with neither
the limpidity nor the brilliancy which
is to be desired in its rendition. IL
is refreshing, however, to find singer
who leaves, apparently of her own vo-
lition, the limited field of colorature
work for the more expressive songs
and in her group of three numbers
bv Tolsti, Brahms and Dell Acqua,
Madame Pasquali displayed a spirit
and thoughtfulness which is more de-
lightful to the ear than many stacatto
trills and glissandos Of the operate
coloratura singer.
In the duets Madame Pasquali shared
equally with Scott in presenting these
musical miniatures, each one gem OF
connnosition and harmonic eHectlVe-
ness. singing them with admirable
simplicity of manner and great beauty
of method.
F,neores followed every appearance
of these artists, and the evening was
a brilliant success and a most auspl-
cious augury of many delightful mu-
steal events which will follow this
one.

companist, was at the piano and fur

10 METHODIST BISHOPS
GUESTS AT WHITE HOUSE

WASHINGTON, Oct 27.-The score
of bishops of the Methodist Episcopal
church attending the semi-annual
meeting in this city were received by
President Taft at the White House
today. Bishop Warren of Denver
made a brief address to the president,
in which he outlined the work the
church has in view.
The president, in responding, said:
1.-THE militant missionary character of
the Methodist church has shown itself
not only in this country, but in coun-
tries far removed from civilization,
and it has developed the influence Of
missions in way that perhaps twenty
or thirty years ago did not seem pos
sible."
